But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel other than what we have preached to you, a curse be on him!

As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him!

For you have heard about my former way of life in Judaism: I persecuted God’s church to an extreme degree and tried to destroy it.

I went up according to a revelation and presented to them the gospel I preach among the Gentiles—but privately to those recognized as leaders—so that I might not be running, or have run the race, in vain.

This issue arose because of false brothers smuggled in, who came in secretly to spy on the freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.

know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. And we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.

For through the law I have died to the law, so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ

then understand that those who have faith are Abraham’s sons.

So those who have faith are blessed with Abraham, who had faith.

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ like a garment.

But now, since you know God, or rather have become known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and bankrupt elemental forces? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?

I beg you, brothers: Become like me, for I also became like you. You have not wronged me;

What happened to this sense of being blessed you had? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.

Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?

You who are trying to be justified by the law are alienated from Christ; you have fallen from grace.

I have confidence in the Lord you will not accept any other view. But whoever it is that is confusing you will pay the penalty.

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

But each person should examine his own work, and then he will have a reason for boasting in himself alone, and not in respect to someone else.

For each person will have to carry his own load.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, we must work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.

Look at what large letters I use as I write to you in my own handwriting.
