and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you -- anathema let him be!

as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive -- anathema let him be!

And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,

for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it,

and I was advancing in Judaism above many equals in age in mine own race, being more abundantly zealous of my fathers' deliverances,

and when God was well pleased -- having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called me through His grace --

to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

nor did I go up to Jerusalem unto those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus,

and they were glorifying God in me.

Then, after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken with me also Titus;

but not even Titus, who is with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised --

And from those who were esteemed to be something -- whatever they were then, it maketh no difference to me -- the face of man God accepteth not, for -- to me those esteemed did add nothing,

for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations,

and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision may go,

for I through law, did die, that to God I may live;

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.

but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.

so that the law became our child-conductor -- to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,

that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive;

Become as I am -- because I also am as ye brethren, I beseech you; to me ye did no hurt,

and my trial that is in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me -- as Christ Jesus;

what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if possible, your eyes having plucked out, ye would have given to me;

they are zealous for you -- yet not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous;

and it is good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being present with you;

my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,

and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.

Tell me, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye not hear?

but what saith the Writing? 'Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;'

I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

and if one another ye do bite and devour, see -- that ye may not by one another be consumed.

And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete;

for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will -- these ye may not do;

if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk;

Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself -- lest thou also may be tempted;

Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow -- that also he shall reap,

and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding;

therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.

Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand;

as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,

for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory.

And for me, let it not be -- to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world;

Henceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body do bear.
