Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I seeking to please men? If still I were pleasing men, I should not be Christ's servant.

For I make known to you, brethren, that the Gospel which was proclaimed by me is not according to man;

for neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through revelation of Jesus Christ.

But from those reputed to be something (whatever they were, it matters not to me: God does not accept man's person): to me, in fact, those of repute added nothing;

yet knowing that a man is not justified by works of law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of law; because by works of law no flesh shall be justified.

Brethren, I am speaking after the manner of man: even a man's confirmed covenant no one sets aside, or adds thereto.

And I testify again to every man who is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

Brethren, even if a man be caught in any trespass, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness; considering yourself, lest you also be tempted.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sows, the same shall be also reap;

So, then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, but especially to those of the household of the faith.
