Paul, an apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father who raised him from the dead;

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

I am amazed that you are so soon shifting your ground, and deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ,

for another gospel, which indeed is not another; only there are certain individuals who are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ.

Think you that I am now trying to conciliate men or God? Or am I "seeking to please men"? If I were still seeking to please men, I should not be a slave of Christ.

for neither did I myself receive it from man, nor by man was I taught it, but by a revelation an apocalypse of Jesus Christ.

But to the churches of Christ in Judea I was personally unknown;

Yet there were false brethren who had crept in to spy out the freedom we enjoy in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us again.

"yet because we know that no man is justified by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we ourselves also have put our faith in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the Law; for "By the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified."

But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves also have been found to be sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? Far from it!

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

I do not annul the grace of God; for if righteousness comes by way of the Law, then indeed Christ died Christ for nothing.

O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you? You, before whose very eyes Jesus Christ was placarded as crucified!

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us (for it is written, Cursed is every one who is hanged upon a tree),

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

Now it was to Abraham that the promises were spoken, and to his offspring. God did not say, "offsprings" as if speaking of many, but "and to your offspring," as of one; and this is Christ.

but the Scripture has shut up the whole world in prison together under sin, in order that the promise due to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who have faith.

So the Law has been our tutor-slave our pedagogue to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith;

You are all sons of God through your faith in Jesus Christ.

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

In him there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

And if you belong to Christ, then you are the descendants of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.

and although my bodily affliction was a trial to you, you did not scoff at it nor spurn me, but welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus himself.

O my little children, of whom I travail again in birth until Christ be formed within you!

So, brothers, we are the children of no slave woman, but of free woman. For freedom did not Christ set us free;

Listen to me! I, Paul, declare to you that if you are to continue to follow the rite of circumcision, Christ will be no profit to you.

If you are being justified by law, you are cut off from Christ; you are fallen away from grace.

because in Christ neither circumcision has any value, nor uncircumcision, but faith which works through love.

And those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and appetites.

Ever be bearing one another's burdens, and so be fulfilling the law of Christ.

Those who are trying to compel you to be circumcised are such as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

God forbid that I should glory in anything except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world has been crucified to me and I have been crucified to the world.

For in Jesus Christ neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
