as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive -- anathema let him be!

and that because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,

but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with that of the circumcision,

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,'

the law, then, is against the promises of God? -- let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,

and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,

what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if possible, your eyes having plucked out, ye would have given to me;

so that your enemy have I become, being true to you?

I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

and his own work let each one prove, and then in regard to himself alone the glorying he shall have, and not in regard to the other,

therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.

Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand;
