And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;

And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete;

for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,

And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free -- stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;

so many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.

and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,

Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow -- that also he shall reap,

Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself -- lest thou also may be tempted;

I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;

Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

For ye -- to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another,

and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding;

but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you -- anathema let him be!

but not even Titus, who is with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised --

of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,

having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;

to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen.

and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, 'Abba, Father!'

O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth -- before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

Ye were running well; who did hinder you -- not to obey the truth?

And when Peter came to Antioch, to the face I stood up against him, because he was blameworthy,

therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.

And for me, let it not be -- to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world;

for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

the obedience is not of him who is calling you!

that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;

for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,'

and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to thy seed,' which is Christ;

so that the law became our child-conductor -- to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,

for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught it, but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,

if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk;

And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,

Paul, an apostle -- not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of the dead --

And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed,

for now men do I persuade, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if yet men I did please -- Christ's servant I should not be.

and I was advancing in Judaism above many equals in age in mine own race, being more abundantly zealous of my fathers' deliverances,

so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.

for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will -- these ye may not do;

for all the law in one word is fulfilled -- in this: 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;'

and if ye are of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise -- heirs.

And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing -- in all good things.

Tell me, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye not hear?

and that because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,

a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven;

Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator --

then, after three years I went up to Jerusalem to enquire about Peter, and remained with him fifteen days,

who did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father,

and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because 'The righteous by faith shall live;'

And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away;

according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;

to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;

I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;

and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham --

And I say, so long time as the heir is a babe, he differeth nothing from a servant -- being lord of all,

Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

nor did I go up to Jerusalem unto those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus,

then I came to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,

And the things that I write to you, lo, before God -- I lie not;

and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that are in Christ,

to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.

and only they were hearing, that 'he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was wasting;'

and they were glorifying God in me.

'Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham,

And from those who were esteemed to be something -- whatever they were then, it maketh no difference to me -- the face of man God accepteth not, for -- to me those esteemed did add nothing,

days ye observe, and months, and times, and years!

for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory.

as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,

and if one another ye do bite and devour, see -- that ye may not by one another be consumed.

for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations,

and the law is not by faith, but -- 'The man who did them shall live in them.'

I am afraid of you, lest in vain I did labour toward you.

but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with that of the circumcision,

O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!

and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,

for before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision,

Become as I am -- because I also am as ye brethren, I beseech you; to me ye did no hurt,

But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, 'If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit, brethren! Amen.

and the mediator is not of one, and God is one --

for if by law be the inheritance, it is no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant it.

for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for,

Henceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body do bear.

and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.

and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run;

but he who is of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who is of the free-woman, through the promise;

for if any one doth think himself to be something -- being nothing -- himself he doth deceive;

and my trial that is in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me -- as Christ Jesus;

and his own work let each one prove, and then in regard to himself alone the glorying he shall have, and not in regard to the other,

and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,

what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if possible, your eyes having plucked out, ye would have given to me;

And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is then Christ a ministrant of sin? let it not be!

for if the things I threw down, these again I build up, a transgressor I set myself forth;

and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;

for each one his own burden shall bear.

let us not become vain-glorious -- one another provoking, one another envying!

so also we, when we were babes, under the elements of the world were in servitude,

they are zealous for you -- yet not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous;

and it is good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being present with you;

which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, which is Hagar;

and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.

for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now is, and is in servitude with her children,

for it hath been written, 'Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many are the children of the desolate -- more than of her having the husband.'

but is under tutors and stewards till the time appointed of the father,

but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now;

but what saith the Writing? 'Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;'

And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise,

Then, after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken with me also Titus;

and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

and when God was well pleased -- having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called me through His grace --

we by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations,

I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness be through law -- then Christ died in vain.

but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.

and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision may go,

my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,

that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive;

Brethren, as a man I say it, even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to,

only, of the poor that we should be mindful, which also I was diligent -- this very thing -- to do.

that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.

because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during;

for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;

and as many as by this rule do walk -- peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God!

But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,

for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it,

know ye, then, that those of faith -- these are sons of Abraham,

for I through law, did die, that to God I may live;

this only do I wish to learn from you -- by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?

idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects,

and now, having known God -- and rather being known by God -- how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude?

and other of the apostles I did not see, except James, the brother of the Lord.

so that your enemy have I become, being true to you?

lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing;

envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.

He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you -- by works of law or by the hearing of faith is it?

and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law.

and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise,

Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand;

and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all,

so thoughtless are ye! having begun in the Spirit, now in the flesh do ye end?

meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;

as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive -- anathema let him be!

the law, then, is against the promises of God? -- let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,

then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but the free-woman's.

for it hath been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant, and one by the free-woman,
