to whom be glory to the ages of ages. Amen.

But if even we or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you anything besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.

As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings anything besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.

But I let you know, brethren, as to the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.

For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught them, but by revelation of Jesus Christ.

But when God, who set me apart even from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

(but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised;)

But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be condemned:

and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation.

We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of the nations,

but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law nor but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of the faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.

Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then is Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.

I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but in that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness is by law, then Christ has died for nothing.

Are ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to be made perfect in flesh?

and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.

but that by law no one is justified with God is evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;

but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.

Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

For if the inheritance be on the principle of law, it is no longer on the principle of promise; but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise.

Is then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law;

but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.

But before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith which was about to be revealed.

So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.

for ye are all God's sons by faith in Christ Jesus.

Now I say, As long as the heir is a child, he differs nothing from a bondman, though he be lord of all;

but he is under guardians and stewards until the period fixed by the father.

But then indeed, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods;

but now, knowing God, but rather being known by God, how do ye turn again to the weak and beggarly principles to which ye desire to be again anew in bondage?

Be as I am, for I also am as ye, brethren, I beseech you: ye have not at all wronged me.

They are not rightly zealous after you, but desire to shut you out from us, that ye may be zealous after them.

But it is right to be zealous at all times in what is right, and not only when I am present with you --

and I should wish to be present with you now, and change my voice, for I am perplexed as to you.

Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.

Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated from him, as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.

For we, by the Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.

I have confidence as to you in the Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt of it, whosoever he may be.

For ye have been called to liberty, brethren; only do not turn liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.

If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit.

Brethren, if even a man be taken in some fault, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself lest thou also be tempted.

For if any man reputes himself to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself;

Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatever a man shall sow, that also shall he reap.

As many as desire to have a fair appearance in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ.

For neither do they that are circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.

But far be it from me to boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
