Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),

which is not another gospel only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.

to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood:

Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:

to whom we gave place in the way of subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

But from those who were reputed to be somewhat (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth not man's person)-- they, I say, who were of repute imparted nothing to me:

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the 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 the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.

For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.

and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them.

Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Now this I say: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of none effect.

Now a mediator is not a mediator of one; but God is one.

Howbeit at that time, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to them that by nature are no gods:

and that which was a temptation to you in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but ye received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

But it is good to be zealously sought in a good matter at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: For more are the children of the desolate than of her that hath the husband.

Howbeit what saith the scripture? Cast out the handmaid and her son: for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman.

Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the freewoman.

For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.

Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?

This persuasion came not of him that calleth you.

For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.

But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.

But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of his neighbor.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

For not even they who receive circumcision do themselves keep the law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
