nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were my seniors in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards came back to Damascus.

Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him.

Later still, after an interval of fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem in company with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

I went up in obedience to a revelation of God's will; and I explained to them the Good News which I proclaim among the Gentiles. To the leaders of the Church this explanation was made in private, lest by any means I should be running, or should already have run, in vain.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me; and the life which I now live in the body I live through faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up to death on my behalf.

And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of His Son to enter your hearts and cry "Abba! our Father!"

I once more protest to every man who receives circumcision that he is under obligation to obey the whole Law of Moses.

Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole of Christ's Law.
