whom be glory for ever and ever. amen. I wonder you have so soon deserted unto another gospel,

for by one law, I am dead to the other law, that I might live unto God:

I am crucified with Christ, it is not I that now live, but Christ that liveth in me; the life I have in this body I live by faith in the son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

"To what purpose then was the law?" it was added as a check to transgressors, till the offspring should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels with the intervention of a mediator.

I beseech you, brethren, be as I am, for I was as you are.

am I now become your enemy in continuing to tell you the truth?

but it is just you should cultivate my affection for you upon all proper occasions, and not only when I am present with you.

my dear children, how am I in pain, till Christ be formed in you?

as for me, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? for then there would not be so much objection to the doctrine of the cross.

but far be it from me that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is as contemptible to me, as I am to the world.
