As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed.

For do I now seek the favor of men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

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

But they had heard only, That he who persecuted us in times past now preaches the faith which once he destroyed.

To whom we yielded in subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

But of these who seemed to be somebody, (whatsoever they were, it makes no matter to me: God accepts no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somebody in conference added nothing to me:

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

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Are you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh?

Know you therefore that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannuls, or adds thereto.

Now to Abraham and his descendant were the promises made. He says not, And to descendants, as of many; but as of one, And to your descendant, who is Christ.

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before by God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of no effect.

For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

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

But after faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

Therefore you are no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

But then, when you knew not God, you did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

But now, after you have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?

You know how through weakness of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.

I desire to be present with you now, and to change my tone; for I stand in doubt of you.

For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; you are fallen from grace.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, impurity, licentiousness,

Meekness, self-control: against such there is no law.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
