Paul, an apostle—not from men or by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead—

not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to change the good news about the Messiah.

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel other than what we have preached to you, a curse be on him!

For I did not receive it from a human source and I was not taught it, but it came by a revelation from Jesus Christ.

But when God, who from my birth set me apart and called me by His grace, was pleased

But I didn’t see any of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.

I went up according to a revelation and presented to them the gospel I preach among the Gentiles—but privately to those recognized as leaders—so that I might not be running, or have run the race, in vain.

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

But we did not give up and submit to these people for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would be preserved for you.

Now from those recognized as important (what they really were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism)—they added nothing to me.

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he stood condemned.

But when I saw that they were deviating from the truth of the gospel, I told Cephas in front of everyone, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel Gentiles to live like Jews?”

know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. And we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.

But if we ourselves are also found to be “sinners” while seeking to be justified by Christ, is Christ then a promoter of sin? Absolutely not!

and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

But the law is not based on faith; instead, the one who does these things will live by them.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say “and to seeds,” as though referring to many, but referring to one, and to your seed, who is Christ.

For if the inheritance is from the law, it is no longer from the promise; but God granted it to Abraham through the promise.

Now a mediator is not for just one person, but God is one.

But the Scripture has imprisoned everything under sin’s power, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

But since that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ like a garment.

When the time came to completion, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

But in the past, when you didn’t know God, you were enslaved to things that by nature are not gods.

But now, since you know God, or rather have become known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and bankrupt elemental forces? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?

They are enthusiastic about you, but not for any good. Instead, they want to isolate you so you will be enthusiastic about them.

But the one by the slave was born according to the impulse of the flesh, while the one by the free woman was born as the result of a promise.

But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.

But just as then the child born according to the flesh persecuted the one born according to the Spirit, so also now.

But what does the Scripture say?

Drive out the slave and her son, for the son of the slave will never be a coheir with the son of the free woman.

Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.

I have confidence in the Lord you will not accept any other view. But whoever it is that is confusing you will pay the penalty.

For you were called to be free, brothers; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.

But if you bite and devour one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.

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

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

But each person should examine his own work, and then he will have a reason for boasting in himself alone, and not in respect to someone else.

because the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.

Those who want to make a good impression in the flesh are the ones who would compel you to be circumcised—but only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.

But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The world has been crucified to me through the cross, and I to the world.
