who gave himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:

and I made a proficiency in Judaism above many of the same age with me in my own nation, being excessively zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach Him among the gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

and that because of the false brethren clandestinely introduced, who had crept in as spies upon our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

to whom we yielded no submission, not even for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

that I might live unto God.

Are ye so void of understanding? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, having been made a curse for us: for it is written, "Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:"

that the blessing of Abraham might come on the gentiles by Christ Jesus; that we through faith might receive the promise of the Spirit.

Now the promises were made to Abraham, and to his seed. He doth not say, "and to seeds," as of many; but as of one, "and to thy seed," which is Christ.

What then availeth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come, to whom the promise was made; and it was delivered by angels in the hand of a mediator.

But the scripture hath shut up all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

So that the law was our guide to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son born of a woman made under the law,

that He might redeem those that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again in the yoke of bondage.
