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

I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,

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

and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go to the nations, and they to the circumcision;

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

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.

Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated from him, as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.

But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.

As many as desire to have a fair appearance in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ.

But far be it from me to boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
