Paul, an apostle sent not from men or by any man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead --

spiritual blessing and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

for I did not get it from any man; I was not taught it, but I got it through a revelation given by Jesus Christ.

they did not try it even for the sake of the false brothers who had been smuggled in, who stole in to spy out the freedom we enjoy in Christ Jesus, so as to make us slaves again.

because we know that a man does not come into right standing with God by doing what the law commands, but by simple trust in Christ, we too have trusted in Christ Jesus, in order to come into right standing with God by simple trust in Christ and not by doing what the law commands, because by doing what the law commands no man can come into right standing with God.

O senseless Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose very eyes Jesus Christ was pictured as the crucified One?

that the blessing promised to Abraham might through Jesus Christ come to the heathen, so that through faith we might receive the promised Spirit.

For all of you are sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

There is no room for Jew or Greek, no room for slave or freeman, no room for male or female, for you are all one through union with Christ Jesus.

but still you did not scorn the test my illness made of you, nor did you spurn me for it; on the contrary, you welcomed me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself.

For in union with Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor lack of it counts for anything; but only faith that is spurred on to action by love.

And those who belong to Jesus the Christ have crucified the lower nature with its passions and evil cravings.

These men who are trying to force you to let yourselves be circumcised simply want to make a fine outward show, only to keep you from being persecuted for the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But may it never be mine to boast of anything but the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me and I to the world!

Let nobody trouble me after this, for I carry on my body the scars that mark me as Jesus' slave.

The spiritual blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
