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

I wonder that ye are so soon removed from him who called you by the grace of Christ to another gospel: which is not another;

For do I now persuade you to obey men or God? Or do I seek to please men? if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

But I assure you, brethren, that the gospel preached by me is not of human invention.

to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach Him among the gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

(Now in what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.)

and was not known in person to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ.

But I went up according to a divine revelation, and laid before them the gospel which I preach among the gentiles: though privately to those of note, least I should run, or had run in vain.

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

to whom we yielded no submission, not even for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

And as to those who seemed to be men of note, whatever they were, it is all one to me, (God accepteth no man's person) for even these eminent persons added nothing more to me.

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all,---If thou, who art a Jew, livest sometimes after the manner of the gentiles, and not like the Jews, why dost thou now in a manner compel the gentiles to judaize?

We, who are Jews by birth, and not sinners of the gentiles,

knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

I do not frustate the grace of God: for if righteousness be by the law, then Christ died in vain.

O senseless Galatians, who hath so bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth? you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth as crucified.

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

now the law is not of faith, but saith, "The man that doth them, shall live in them."

Now the promises were made to Abraham, and to his seed. He doth not say, "and to seeds," as of many; but as of one, "and to thy seed," which is Christ.

Now a mediator is not the mediator of one only; and God is but one.

Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? not at all: for if a law had been given, which could have confered life, certainly righteousness would have been by the law.

But then indeed, when ye knew not God, ye served those which in reality are no gods.

Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I also was as ye are: and ye have not injured me at all.

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

They are zealous for you, but not as they ought: for they would exclude us, that ye may be zealous for them:

But it is good to be zealously affected always in that which is good, and not only when I am present with you.

Tell me, you that are so desirous to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

For it is written, Rejoice thou barren, that for a while didst not bear, break forth and cry aloud for joy, thou that didst not travail with child; for many more are the children of the desolate than of her that hath an husband."

But what saith the scripture? "Cast out the servant and her son: for the son of the servant shall not inherit with the son of the free-woman."

Now we, my brethren, are not children of the servant, but of the free-woman.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again in the yoke of bondage.

This persuasion came not from him that called you: but a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass.

that ye will not think otherwise: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgement, whosoever he be.

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only abuse not this liberty for an occasion to indulge the flesh, but by mutual love serve one another.

But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not destroyed by one another.

I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the desire of the flesh:

for the flesh desireth things contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit things contrary to the flesh: and these are opposite to each other; so that ye do not those things which ye would.

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

heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and the like: of which I forewarn you, as I have also told you before, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Let us not be vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

But let every one try his own work, and then he will have matter of glorying in himself alone, and not in another.

Be not deceived, God is not to be mocked: for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

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

They, who want to make a fair appearance in the flesh, would constrain you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

For they, who are circumcised, do not themselves keep the law: but they would have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
