who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

to reveal his Sou in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I at once declined all conference with flesh and blood:

I acted thus indeed on account of false brethren, stealthily brought in, who stole in to spy out our freedom, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,

to whom we yielded in submission, not even for an hour, in order that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.

For, through law, I have died to law, that I might live to God.

He that supplies to you the Spirit, and works mighty deeds among you, does he this by works of law or by the hearing of faith?

So, then, the law was our pedagogue that led us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

that he might buy off those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption.
