For ye have heard, as to my own manner of life, at one time, in Judaism, how that, exceedingly, was I persecuting the assembly of God, and laying it waste,

But, when I saw that they were not walking with straightforwardness as regardeth the truth of the glad-message, I said unto Cephas, before all: If, thou, although, a Jew, like them of the nations, and not like the Jews, dost live, how dost thou compel, them of the nations, to live like Jews?

For, I, through means of law, unto law, died, that, unto God, I might live: -

With Christ, have I been crucified; and, living no longer, am, I, but, living in me, is, Christ, - while, so far as I now do live in flesh, by faith, I live - The faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up in my behalf.

Moreover, that, in law, no one, is declared righteous with God, is evident, - because, The righteous one, by faith, shall live;

And, the law, is not of faith, but - he that hath done them, shall live in them,

Is, the law, then, against the promises of God? Far be it! For, if a law had been given, which had been able to give life, verily, in law, would have been our righteousness;

For, in Christ Jesus, neither, circumcision, availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith, through love, energising.

For, ye, on a footing of freedom, were called, brethren, - only, turn not your freedom into an occasion to the flesh, but, by means of your love, be serving one another;

For, the whole law, in one word, is summed up - namely in this, - Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself.

But, the fruit of the Spirit, is - love, joy, peace, long-suffering, graciousness, goodness, faithfulness,

If we live by Spirit, by Spirit, let us also walk.

Because, he that soweth into his own flesh, out of the flesh, shall reap corruption, whereas, he that soweth into the Spirit, out of the Spirit, shall reap age-abiding life.
