to reveal his Son in me so that I could preach him among the Gentiles, I did not go to ask advice from any human being,

I do not set aside God's grace, because if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing!

in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

But the scripture imprisoned everything and everyone under sin so that the promise could be given -- because of the faithfulness of Jesus Christ -- to those who believe.

Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith.

I wish I could be with you now and change my tone of voice, because I am perplexed about you.
