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

and made progress in Judaism beyond many of the same age with me in my nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

to reveal his Son within me, that I might publish the glad tidings of him among the gentiles, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

and that because of the false brethren stealthily brought in, who crept in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring into bondage;

to whom not even for an hour did we yield by the required subjection, that the truth of the gospel might still remain with you.

but knowing that a man is not accepted as righteous by the works of the Law, but by faith in Christ Jesus, we also have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be accepted as righteous by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be accepted as righteous.

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

to the end that in Christ Jesus the blessing promised to Abraham might come to the gentiles, that we through faith might receive the Spirit which was promised.

But the promises were made to Abraham and "to his offspring." He doth not say, "and to offsprings," as speaking of many, but, as speaking of one, "and to thy offspring," which is Christ.

but the Scripture shut up all under sin, that the blessing promised through faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

So then the Law hath been our schoolmaster, to lead us to Christ, that we might be accepted as righteous through faith;

to redeem those under the Law, that we might be adopted as sons.

Stand firm in the liberty with which Christ made us free, and be not again bound fast to the yoke of bondage.
