Paul, an apostle, - not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from among the dead,

Which is not, another, only there are, some, that are troubling you, and wishing to change the glad-message of the Christ.

For am I, even now, persuading, men, or God? Or am I seeking to please, men? If I had been still pleasing, men, Christ's servant, had I not been!

For I make known unto you, brethren, as to the glad-message which was announced by me, that it is not after man;

to reveal his Son in me, that I might announce the glad-message regarding him among the nations, straightway, I conferred not with flesh and blood,

Now, as touching the things which I am writing to you, lo! before God, I am not guilty of falsehood: -

But, not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised; -

Unto whom, not even for an hour, gave we place by the required submission, - in order that, the truth of the glad-message, might still abide with you.

Moreover, from them who were reputed to be something, - whatsoever at one time, they were, maketh no difference to me, God accepteth not a man's person, - unto me, in fact, they who were of repute added nothing further;

But, when I saw that they were not walking with straightforwardness as regardeth the truth of the glad-message, I said unto Cephas, before all: If, thou, although, a Jew, like them of the nations, and not like the Jews, dost live, how dost thou compel, them of the nations, to live like Jews?

We, by nature Jews, and not sinners from among the nations,

Knowing, however, that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, nor at all save through faith in Christ Jesus; even we, on Christ Jesus, believed, that we might be declared righteous - by faith in Christ, and not by works of law; because, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous.

I do not set aside the favour of God; for, if, through law, is righteousness, then, Christ, without cause, died.

Be taking note, therefore - that, they who are of faith, the same, are, sons, of Abraham;

For, as many as are of works of law, are, under a curse, - for it is written - Accursed, is everyone that continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them.

And, the law, is not of faith, but - he that hath done them, shall live in them,

Now, unto Abraham, were spoken the promises - and unto his seed; - He saith not - and unto thy seeds, as of many, but, as of one - and unto thy seed, which is Christ:

And, this, I say - a covenant previously confirmed by God, the law which, after four hundred and thirty years, hath been brought into being, doth not annul, so as to do away with the promise.

Now, a mediator, is not a mediator of one, but, God, is, one.

But, at that time - not knowing God, ye were in servitude unto them who, by nature, are not Gods;

Become ye as, I, because, I also, was as, ye, - brethren, I entreat you. Not at all, have ye wronged me.

And, your trial, in my flesh, ye despised not, neither spat ye in disgust , but, as a messenger of God, ye welcomed me - as Christ Jesus.

They shew a zeal for you, not honourably, but wish, to shut you out, in order that ye may be zealous for, them.

Howbeit it is, honourable, to show zeal in what is honourable at all times, and not only when I am present with you; -

Tell me! ye who, under law, are wishing to be: The law, do ye not hear?

For it is written - Be gladdened, O barren one! that wast not giving birth, break forth and shout, thou that wast not in birth-pains, - because, more, are the children of the deserted one, than of her that had the husband.

Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a serving woman, but of the free: -

With her freedom, Christ hath made you, free. Stand fast, therefore, and do not, again, with a yoke of servitude, be held fast!

Ye were running well: - who hath hindered you, that, by truth, ye are not to be persuaded?

The persuasion, is not of him that calleth you: -

For, ye, on a footing of freedom, were called, brethren, - only, turn not your freedom into an occasion to the flesh, but, by means of your love, be serving one another;

And, if, by Spirit, ye are being led, ye are not under law.

envyings, drunkenness, revellings; - and such things as these: as to which I forewarn you, even as I have forewarned you, - that, they who such things as these do practise, shall not inherit, God's kingdom.

Let us not become vain-glorious, - one another, challenging, one another, envying.

But, his own work, let each one be putting to the proof, and, then, for himself alone, the matter of boasting, shall he have, and not for some other,

Be not deceiving yourselves! God, is not to be mocked; for, whatsoever a man soweth, the same, shall he also reap, -

And, in doing that which is honourable, let us not be fainthearted; for, in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.

As many as are wishing to make a good show in flesh, the same, are compelling you to get circumcised, - only that, for the cross of Christ Jesus, they may not be suffering persecution!

For, not even they who are getting circumcised, are, themselves, observing law, - but are wishing you to be circumcised, that, in your flesh, they may boast themselves.
