Right now, however, I'm going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints,

Now concerning the collection for the saints, you should follow the directions I gave to the churches in Galatia.

I will visit you when I go through Macedonia for I intend to go through Macedonia

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of the Messiah and, instead, are following a different gospel,

What we have told you in the past I am now telling you again: If anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that person be condemned!

Then fourteen years later, I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me. I went in response to a revelation, and in a private meeting with the reputed leaders, I explained to them the gospel that I'm proclaiming to the gentiles. I did this because I was afraid that I was running or had run my life's race for nothing.

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly wrong.

Listen! I, Paul, am telling you that if you allow yourselves to be circumcised, the Messiah will be of no benefit to you. Again, I insist that everyone who allows himself to be circumcised is obligated to obey the entire Law.

You were running the race beautifully. Who cut in on you and stopped you from obeying the truth?

I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view of this. However, the one who is troubling you will suffer God's judgment, whoever he is.
