For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel I preach is not man-made;

Brothers and sisters, I speak in terms of human relations: even though a last will and testament is just a human covenant, yet when it has been signed and made legally binding, no one sets it aside or adds to it [modifying it in some way].

But let every man make test of his work, and then will his cause for glory be in himself only, and not in his neighbour.

These men make much of you ??yes, but for dishonest ends; they want to debar you from us, so that you may make much of them.

but who know that a man is not made upright by doing what the Law commands, but by faith in Christ Jesus??ven we believed in Christ Jesus, so as to be made upright by faith in Christ and not by doing what the Law commands??or by doing what the Law commands no one can be made upright.

Why, then, the Law [what was its purpose]? It was added [after the promise to Abraham, to reveal to people their guilt] because of transgressions [that is, to make people conscious of the sinfulness of sin], and [the Law] was ordained through angels and delivered to Israel by the hand of a mediator [Moses, the mediator between God and Israel, to be in effect] until the Seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

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

Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),

Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.

Be not tricked; God is not made sport of: for whatever seed a man puts in, that will he get back as grain.
