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

I marvel that ye are so soon turning from him that called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel;

But when it pleased him who set me apart from my very birth, and called me through his grace,

and when they knew the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcised;

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness come through the Law, then did Christ die for nought.

Ye are entirely separated from Christ, who seek to obtain righteousness through the Law; ye have fallen away from grace.

But as for me, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then hath the cross ceased to be a stumblingblock.

As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, these are constraining you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

But God forbid that I should glory, 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.
