and that because of the false brethren clandestinely introduced, who had crept in as spies upon our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

And as to those who seemed to be men of note, whatever they were, it is all one to me, (God accepteth no man's person) for even these eminent persons added nothing more to me.

But on the contrary, seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of uncircumcision, as Peter was with that of the circumcision;

(for He who wrought effectually in Peter as to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought effectually also in me as to the gentiles:)

O senseless Galatians, who hath so bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth? you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth as crucified.

As Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness:

For as many as are of the works of the law, are under the curse; for it is written, Cursed be every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.

Now the promises were made to Abraham, 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.

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ:

Now as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he is to be lord of all:

Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I also was as ye are: and ye have not injured me at all.

and my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected me for it; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

They are zealous for you, but not as they ought: for they would exclude us, that ye may be zealous for them:

My little children, of whom I do as it were travail in birth again,

But as then he that was born after the flesh, persecuted him who was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

For all the law is fulfilled in one precept, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, such as, adultery, fornication, uncleanness,

heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and the like: of which I forewarn you, as I have also told you before, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

And therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, but especially to those who are of the houshold of faith.

And as many as shall walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be on them, even upon all the Israel of God.
