But I assure you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not after man;

Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days;

Then, fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me.

But when I saw that they were not walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of gentiles, and not that of the Jews, how is it that thou compellest the gentiles to keep the customs of the Jews?

Brethren, I speak according to what is practised among men; no one sets aside even a human covenant, or makes additions to it, after it has been ratified.

And what I mean is this; that a covenant that was before ratified by God, the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, cannot annul, so as to make void the promise;

but now, after having known God, or rather having been known by God, how is it that ye are turning back to the weak and beggarly rudiments to which ye wish to be again in bondage?

But the one by the bondwoman was born after the flesh; while the one by the freewoman was through the promise.

But as at that time he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born through the Spirit, so it is now.
