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

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

who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from the present evil life according to the will of God even our Father,

For do I now obey man, or God? or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I could not have been a servant of Christ.

For you heard of my conduct formerly in Judaism, that I greatly persecuted the church of God and destroyed it;

But when God who gave me being and called me by his grace,

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

and they glorified God in me.

For by a law I have died to the law, that I may live to God.

I am crucified with Christ; and I no longer live myself, but Christ lives in me; and the present life which I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

I do not reject the grace of God; for if rightousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

As Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness.

And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, promised before to Abraham, In you shall all the nations be blessed.

And it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, because the just shall live by faith,

And this I say; that the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot abrogate the covenant previously established by God, to make the promise of no effect.

For if the inheritance is by the law, it is no longer by the promise. But God gave it to Abraham by the promise.

But there is no mediator of one; but God is one.

Is the law then against the promises of God? By no means. For if a law had been given, able to give life, righteousness would really have been by the law;

For you are all children of God by the faith in Jesus Christ;

but when the fullness of time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

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

But formerly, not knowing God you served beings which are not really Gods;

but now knowing God, or rather being known by God, how do you turn again to the weak and imperfect rudiments, which you wish again to serve?

and my trial in my flesh you despised not nor rejected, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.

It is good to be zealous for a good object always, and not only when I am present with you.

I would that they were cut off that disturb you.

murders, drunkenness, revellings and the like, of which I tell you before, as I have also previously told you, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Let him that is taught the word communicate with him that teaches of all good things.

Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what a man sows, that shall he also reap;

As we have opportunity, therefore, let us do good to all, but especially to the members of the family of the faith.

And whoever walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on the Israel of God.
