Paul, an apostlesent not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead

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

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel

which is really not another gospel; but there are some who are disturbing you, and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.

Am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ;

But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had slipped in to spy out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.

yet who know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law will no flesh be justified.

But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not!

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died for nothing."

You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for usfor it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"

in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, "And to seeds," as referring to many, but rather to one, "And to your seed," that is, Christ.

But the Scripture has bound everyone under sin, so that that what was promised by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

So the law was our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

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

For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

and though my fleshly condition was a trial to you, you did not despise or scorn me, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus himself.

My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you

It was for freedom that Christ has set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen away from grace.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Those who want to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

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