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

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

who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father;

For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.

For ye have heard what was my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;

But when God, who set me apart even from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.

and they glorified God in me.

But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;

For I, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.

I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but in that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness is by law, then Christ has died for nothing.

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

and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.

but that by law no one is justified with God is evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;

Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

For if the inheritance be on the principle of law, it is no longer on the principle of promise; but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise.

But a mediator is not of one, but God is one.

Is then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law;

for ye are all God's sons by faith in Christ Jesus.

but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, come of woman, come under law,

But because ye are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

So thou art no longer bondman, but son; but if son, heir also through God.

But then indeed, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods;

but now, knowing God, but rather being known by God, how do ye turn again to the weak and beggarly principles to which ye desire to be again anew in bondage?

and my temptation, which was in my flesh, ye did not slight nor reject with contempt; but ye received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.

I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.

envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.

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

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

but let us not lose heart in doing good; for in due time, if we do not faint, we shall reap.

So then, as we have occasion, let us do good towards all, and specially towards those of the household of faith.

And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
