There were traitors of false brothers, who had crept in to spy out the freedom we enjoy in Christ Jesus; they did aim at enslaving us again.

I simply want to ask you one thing: did you receive the Spirit by doing what the Law commands or by believing the gospel message?

Are you such fools? Did you begin with the spirit only to end now with the flesh?

and though my flesh was a trial to you, you did not scoff at me nor spurn me, you welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus. You congratulated yourselves.
