Paul, an apostle -- not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of the dead --

but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you -- anathema let him be!

for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught it, but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,

nor did I go up to Jerusalem unto those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus,

but not even Titus, who is with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised --

but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with that of the circumcision,

But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, 'If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?

and the law is not by faith, but -- 'The man who did them shall live in them.'

and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to thy seed,' which is Christ;

for if by law be the inheritance, it is no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant it.

but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.

but is under tutors and stewards till the time appointed of the father,

so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.

But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,

and my trial that is in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me -- as Christ Jesus;

they are zealous for you -- yet not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous;

but he who is of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who is of the free-woman, through the promise;

but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now;

but what saith the Writing? 'Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;'

then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but the free-woman's.

for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

For ye -- to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another,

for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory.

for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;
