Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from among the dead,

which is not another one; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.

For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.

But I let you know, brethren, as to the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.

was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,

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

to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.

But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;

But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?

We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of the nations,

but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law nor but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of the faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness is by law, then Christ has died for nothing.

For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them;

but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.

But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ.

Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

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

But then indeed, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods;

Be as I am, for I also am as ye, brethren, I beseech you: ye have not at all wronged me.

and my temptation, which was in my flesh, ye did not slight nor reject with contempt; but ye received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.

They are not rightly zealous after you, but desire to shut you out from us, that ye may be zealous after them.

But it is right to be zealous at all times in what is right, and not only when I am present with you --

Tell me, ye who are desirous of being under law, do ye not listen to the law?

For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break out and cry, thou that travailest not; because the children of the desolate are more numerous than those of her that has a husband.

But what says the scripture? Cast out the maid servant and her son; for the son of the maid servant shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.

So then, brethren, we are not maid servant's children, but children of the free woman.

Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.

Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?

The persuasibleness is not of him that calls you.

For ye have been called to liberty, brethren; only do not turn liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;

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

envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.

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

but let each prove his own work, and then he will have his boast in what belongs to himself alone, and not in what belongs to another.

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

but let us not lose heart in doing good; for in due time, if we do not faint, we shall reap.

As many as desire to have a fair appearance in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ.
