Paul, an apostle, (not from men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it;

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.

And they glorified God in me.

But of these, who seemed to be somewhat, (whatever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat, in conference added nothing to me:

For I through the law am dead to the law, that I may live to God.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness is attainable by the law, then Christ hath died in vain.

Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel to Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

And this I say, that the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of no effect.

For if the inheritance is by the law, it is no more by promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

Now a mediator is not a mediator of one; but God is one.

Is the law then against the promises of God? By no means: for if there had been a law given which could give life, verily righteousness would have been by the law.

For ye are all children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

However then, when ye knew not God, ye did service to them which by nature are no gods.

But now, after ye have known God, or rather are known by God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which ye desire again to be in bondage?

And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.

I would they were even cut off who trouble you.

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teacheth in all good things.

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

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to them who are of the household of faith.

And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
