PAUL the apostle (not [sent] from men, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ, and our Father who raised him from the dead),

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

I marvel that ye are so quickly departed from him that called you, by the grace of Christ into another gospel

which is not another; but there are certain persons who trouble you, and desire to pervert the gospel of Christ.

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

For I neither received it from man, nor was taught, but by immediate revelation from Jesus Christ.

and I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea, which are in Christ:

but this I did because of false brethren artfully introduced, who came to pry into our liberty which we hold in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law; because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

For if seeking to be justified by Christ, we also ourselves should be found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? God forbid.

I am crucified with Christ, yet I live; though no more I, but Christ liveth in me: and my present life in the flesh, is a life by faith in the Son of God, who hath loved me, and delivered up himself for me.

I do not set at nought the grace of God; for if righteousness came by the law, truly Christ hath died in vain.

O INFATUATED Galatians, who hath bewitched you that ye should not obey the truth? To whom Jesus Christ has been described, as before your eyes, crucified among you.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, "Cursed is every one who is hanged on a tree:"

that unto the Gentiles the benediction pronounced on Abraham might come by Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

But to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, To seeds, as unto many persons; but as to an individual, and to thy seed, which is Christ.

Now this I say, the covenant confirmed of God to Christ, the law, which was given three hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, so as to vacate the promise.

But the scripture hath shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

Wherefore the law was our conductor, as of children, to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

For ye are all the sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

For as many of you as have been baptised into Christ, have been invested with Christ.

There is no more Jew or Gentile, there is no more slave or freeman, there is no more male or female: but ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

But if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Therefore thou art no more a slave, but a son, and if a son, an heir also of God through Christ.

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

My little children of whom I travail in birth again, until Christ be formed in you,

STAND fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made you free, and be not again held under a yoke of bondage.

Behold, I Paul declare to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ will be of no advantage to you.

Ye have vacated all expectations from Christ, as many of you as are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith exerting its energy by love.

But they who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and irregular appetites.

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

As many as wish to make a fair appearance in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world,

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear the marks of our Lord Jesus Christ in my body.

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