nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before me, but right away I departed to Arabia, and then returned to Damascus.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and get information from him, and I stayed with him fifteen days.

Then after fourteen years I went up to Jerusalem again with Barnabas, taking Titus along too.

But if I build up again those things I once destroyed, I demonstrate that I am one who breaks God's law.

And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who calls "Abba! Father!"

And I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.

For the whole law can be summed up in a single commandment, namely, "You must love your neighbor as yourself."

So we must not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.

For those who are circumcised do not obey the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh.
