which gave himself for our sins, to deliver us from this present evil world, through the will of God our father,

to whom be praise for ever and ever Amen.

For ye have heard of my conversation in times past in the Jews' ways, how that beyond measure I persecuted the congregation of God, and spoiled it:

for to declare his son by me, that I should preach him among the heathen: Immediately I commended not of the matter with flesh and blood,

To whom we gave no room - no, not for the space of a hour - as concerning to be brought into subjection: and that because that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

For he that was mighty in Peter in the apostleship over the circumcision, the same was mighty in me among the gentiles -

And when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him in the face, for he was worthy to be blamed.

For yer that certain came from James, he ate with the gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision,

For if I build again that which I destroyed, then make I myself a trespasser.

I am crucified with Christ. I live verily, yet now not I, but Christ liveth in me. For the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the son of God, which loved me, and gave himself for me.

I despise not the grace of God: For if righteousness come of the law, then is Christ died in vain.

Even as Abraham "believed God, and it was ascribed to him for righteousness."

For the scripture saw aforehand, that God would justify the heathen through faith, and therefore showed beforehand glad tidings unto Abraham: "In thee shall all nations be blessed."

For as many as are under the deeds of the law, are under malediction. For it is written, "Cursed is every man that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to fulfil them."

That no man is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident. For the just shall live by faith.

But Christ hath delivered us from the curse of the law, and was made accursed for us - for it is written, "Cursed is everyone that hangeth on tree" -

This I say, that the law which began afterward, beyond four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul the testament, that was confirmed afore of God unto Christ ward, to make the promise of none effect.

For if the inheritance come of the law, it cometh not of promise: but God gave it unto Abraham by promise.

For ye are all the sons of God, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

For all ye that are baptised, have put on Christ.

Now is there no Jew, neither gentile, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither man nor woman: but ye are all one thing in Christ Jesus.

I am in fear of you, lest I have bestowed on you labour in vain.

Brethren, I beseech you, be ye as I am: for I am as ye are. Ye have not hurt me at all.

How happy were ye then? For I bear you record that if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.

I would I were with you now, and could change my voice, for I stand in a doubt of you.

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a free woman.

Which things betoken mystery. For these women are two testaments, the one from the mount Sinai, which gendreth unto bondage, which is Hagar.

- For mount Sinai is called Hagar in Arabia, and bordereth upon the city which is now Jerusalem - and is in bondage with her children.

But Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is the mother of us all.

For it is written, "Rejoice thou barren, that bearest no children: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not. For the desolate hath many more children, than she which hath a husband."

Nevertheless, what saith the scripture? "Put away the bondwoman and her son. For the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman."

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and wrap not yourselves again in the yoke of bondage.

We look for, and hope in the spirit, to be justified through faith.

For in Jesus Christ, neither is circumcision anything worth, neither yet uncircumcision: but faith, which by love is mighty in operation.

Brethren, if I yet preach circumcision: why do I then yet suffer persecution? For then had the offense which the cross giveth, ceased.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, which is this, "Thou shalt love thine neighbour as thyself."

For the flesh lusteth contrary to the spirit, and the spirit contrary to the flesh. These are contrary one to the other, so that ye cannot do that which ye would.

For every man shall bear his own burden.

Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap.

Let us not be weary of well doing. For when the time is come we shall reap without weariness.

For they themselves which are circumcised keep not the law: but desire to have you circumcised that they might rejoice in your flesh.

For in Christ Jesus nether circumcision availeth any thing at all nor uncircumcision: but a new creature.

From henceforth, let no man put me to business. For I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
