And all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

I am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;

Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.

Now God is witness that the things which I am writing to you are true.

But when I saw that they were not living uprightly in agreement with the true words of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, If you, being a Jew, are living like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, how will you make the Gentiles do the same as the Jews?

Are you so foolish? having made a start in the Spirit, will you now be made complete in the flesh?

Be certain, then, that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

So then those who are of faith have a part in the blessing of Abraham who was full of faith.

For all who are of the works of the law are under a curse: because it is said in the Writings, A curse is on everyone who does not keep on doing all the things which are ordered in the book of the law.

But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a servant.

Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.

And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, saying, Abba, Father.

So that you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, then the heritage of God is yours.

But at that time, having no knowledge of God, you were servants to those who by right are no gods:

My desire for you, brothers, is that you may be as I am, because I am as you are. You have done me no wrong;

Which things have a secret sense; because these women are the two agreements; one from the mountain of Sinai, giving birth to servants, which is Hagar.

For it is in the Writings, You who have never given birth, be glad; give cries of joy, you who have had no birth-pains; for the children of her who has been given up by her husband are more than those of the woman who has a husband.

Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are the children of the undertaking of God.

So, brothers, we are not children of the servant-woman, but of the free woman.

You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.

For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.

But if you are given to fighting with one another, take care that you are not the cause of destruction one to another.

For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do.

But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses,

And those who are Christ's have put to death on the cross the flesh with its passions and its evil desires.

If we are living by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us be guided.

Brothers, if a man is taken in any wrongdoing, you who are of the Spirit will put such a one right in a spirit of love; keeping watch on yourself, for fear that you yourself may be tested.

So then, as we have the chance, let us do good to all men, and specially to those who are of the family of the faith.

And on all who are guided by this rule be peace and mercy, and on the Israel of God.
