Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor through man, but through 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,

I marvel that you so soon are being moved away from Him who called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel,

which is not another, but some are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ.

For now do I persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it except by a revelation of Jesus Christ.

and was unknown by face to the churches of Judea in Christ.

But because of those false brothers stealing in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus; they desiring to enslave us;

knowing that a man is not justified by works of the Law, but through faith in Jesus Christ; even we believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith in Christ, and not by works of the Law. For all flesh will not be justified by works of law.

But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we also were found to be sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Let it not be said!

I have been crucified with Christ, and I live; yet no longer I, but Christ lives in me. And that life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith toward the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself on my behalf.

I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died without cause.

O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you not to obey the truth, to whom before your eyes Jesus Christ was written among you crucified?

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone having been hanged on a tree");

so that the blessing of Abraham might be to the nations in Jesus Christ, and that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

And to Abraham and to his Seed the promises were spoken. It does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, "And to your Seed," which is Christ.

And I say this, A covenant having been ratified by God in Christ, the Law (coming into being four hundred and thirty years after) does not annul the promise, so as to abolish it.

But the Scripture shut up all under sin, so that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

So that the Law has become a trainer of us until Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

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

For as many as were baptized into Christ, you put on Christ.

There cannot be Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

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

So that you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.

and you did not despise my temptation in my flesh, nor did you spurn it. But you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.

My children, for whom I again travail until Christ should be formed in you,

Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and do not again be held with the yoke of bondage.

Behold, I, Paul, say to you that if you are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

you who are justified by Law are deprived of all effect from Christ; you fell from grace.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any strength, but faith working through love.

But those belonging to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the Law of Christ.

As many as desire to look well in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

But may it never be for me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any strength, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

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