It was in obedience to a revelation that I went; and I laid before the Apostles the Good News that I am proclaiming among the Gentiles. I did this privately before those who are thought highly of, for fear that I might possibly be taking, or might have already taken, a course which would prove useless.

The rest of the Jewish converts were guilty of the same hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led away by it.

Thus the Law has proved a guide to lead us to Christ, in order that we may be pronounced righteous as the result of faith.

This is what I have to say--Let your steps be guided by the Spirit, and then you will never gratify the cravings of your earthly nature.

Since our Life is due to the Spirit, let us rule our conduct also by the Spirit.

Do not let us grow vain, and provoke or envy one another.

Let every one test his own work, and then his cause for satisfaction will be in himself and not in a comparison of himself with his neighbor;

For every one must bear his own load.

Let us never tire of doing right, for at the proper season we shall reap our harvest, if we do not grow weary.

Therefore, I say, as the opportunity occurs, let us treat every one with kindness, and especially members of the Household of the Faith.

For the future let no one trouble me; for I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body.
