who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,

It was because of a revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

For through the Law I died to the Law, so that I might live to God.

in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
