You foolish Galatians! Who has hypnotized you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was vividly portrayed as crucified?

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written: Everyone who is hung on a tree is cursed.

Brothers, I’m using a human illustration. No one sets aside or makes additions to even a human covenant that has been ratified.

But the Scripture has imprisoned everything under sin’s power, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

But since that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,

And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”

I am fearful for you, that perhaps my labor for you has been wasted.

For it is written:

Rejoice, childless woman,
who does not give birth.
Burst into song and shout,
you who are not in labor,
for the children of the desolate are many,
more numerous than those
of the woman who has a husband.

Christ has liberated us to be free. Stand firm then and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery.

Now brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.

But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The world has been crucified to me through the cross, and I to the world.
