Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead),

Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ

who gave himself for our sins, so that he might rescue us, according to the will of our God and Father, out of the evil age that has come,

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him who called you in the grace of Christ to another good-news,

which is not another, except there are some who confuse you, and who want to pervert the good-news of the Christ.

But even if we, or an agent from heaven, should preach a good-news to you contrary to what we preached to you, let him be accursed.

As we have said before, I now also say again, if any man preaches a good-news to you contrary to what ye received, let him be accursed.

For do I now trust men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I were still pleasing men I would not be a bondman of Christ.

For I make known to you, brothers, the good-news that was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

For ye heard of my former behavior in Judaism, that I persecuted the church of God to extraordinariness, and ravaged it.

But when it pleased God who separated me from my mother's belly, and called me through his grace,

Now what I write to you, behold before God, I do not lie.

but they were only hearing that the man who once persecuted us now preaches the good-news, the faith that he once ravaged.

And they glorified God in me.

And I went up according to revelation, and I declared to them the good-news that I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of repute, lest somehow I might be running or ran in vain.

to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, so that the truth of the good-news might continue with you.

But from those who were reputed to be something (what kind they were formerly, it makes no difference to me, God does not accept a personage of man), for those who were of repute added nothing to me,

but to the contrary, when they saw that I was entrusted with the good-news for men of uncircumcision, as Peter for men of circumcision

But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly toward the truth of the good-news, I said to Peter before all, If thou being a Jew, live as a Gentile and not as a Jew, why do thou compel the Gentiles to live as Jews?

For I, through law, died to law, so that I might live to God.

I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And what I now live in flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.

I do not disregard the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died in vain.

Just as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

And the scripture having foreseen that God makes the Gentiles righteous from faith, proclaimed the good-news in advance to Abraham: In thee all the nations will be blessed.

But that no man is made righteous by law before God, is evident, because, The righteous man will live from faith.

And I say this, a covenant previously confirmed by God in Christ, the law, which happened four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul in order to make the promise useless.

For if the inheritance is from law, it is no longer from promise. But God has given it to Abraham through promise.

Now a mediator is not of one, but God is one.

Is the law therefore against the promises of God? May it not happen! For if a law was given that could make alive, truly righteousness would be from law.

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

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born from a woman, born under law,

And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

But of course not knowing God then, ye were in bondage to those in nature who are not gods,

but now knowing God, but rather being known by God, how is it ye turn again to the weak and destitute elements to which ye desire again to be in bondage anew?

But ye know that through a weakness of the flesh I preached the good-news to you the first time.

And ye did not disdain, nor did ye reject my trial in my flesh, but ye received me as an agent of God, as Christ Jesus.

But to be zealous of is always good in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.

O that those who trouble you would even cut it all off.

envyings, murders, intoxications, revelings, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, as I also did forewarn, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But let him who is taught in the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

Be not misled, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows this he will also reap.

And let us not be weary doing good, for in our own time we will reap, not desponding.

So then as we have time, let us work what is good toward all men, and especially toward those belonging to a household of the faith.

As many as desire to make a good impression in flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only so that they may not be persecuted for the cross of the Christ.

And as many as will march by this standard, peace upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
