Now even though it were myself or some angel from heaven, whoever preaches a gospel that contradicts the gospel I preached to you, God's curse be on him!

As I said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other thing unto you, than that ye have received, hold him accursed.

Am I now trying to win men's favor, or God's? Or, am I trying to be pleasing to men? If I were still trying to be pleasing to men, I would not be a slave of Christ at all.

Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin.

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

But they heard only, that he which persecuted us in time past, now preacheth the faith, which before he destroyed.

I went up under the guidance of a divine revelation. Now I laid before them the good news that I was in the habit of preaching among the heathen, but first I did so privately before the leaders, for fear that my course might be or might have been to no purpose.

Now [this was] because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, in order that they might enslave us,

Now those who were reputed to be important added nothing to my message. (What sort of people they were makes no difference to me, since God pays no attention to outward appearances.)

Now when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

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?

Now if, in our efforts to come into right standing with God through union with Christ, we have proved ourselves to be sinners like the heathen themselves, does that make Christ a party to our sin? Of course not.

Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor;

I am crucified with Christ. I live verily, yet now not I, but Christ liveth in me. For the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the son of God, which loved me, and gave himself for me.

Are ye so unwise, that after ye have begun in the spirit, ye would now end in the flesh?

Now when He supplies you with the Spirit and performs His wonder-works among you, does He do it because you do what the law commands, or because you believe the message that you heard --

Now the Scripture saw in advance that God would justify the Gentiles by faith and told the good news ahead of time to Abraham, saying, All the nations will be blessed through you.

Now it is evident that through the law no man is brought into right standing with God, for "The man in right standing with God will live by faith,"

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 his descendant. It does not say, "and to your descendants," in the plural, but in the singular, "and to your descendant," that is, Christ.

Now I am saying this: the law, that came after four hundred and thirty years, does not revoke a covenant previously ratified by God, in order to nullify the promise.

now if the right to the inheritance be from the law, it is no longer founded upon the promise; altho' God made a donation of it to Abraham by promise.

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

Now before faith came about, we were held in custody and confined under the Law in preparation for the faith that was to be revealed.

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

Now is there no Jew, neither gentile, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither man nor woman: but ye are all one thing in Christ Jesus.

Now, if, ye, are of Christ, by consequence ye are, Abraham's seed, according to promise, heirs.

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

Now because you are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts to cry out, "Abba! Father!"

Wherefore now art thou not a servant, but a son. If thou be the son, thou art also the heir of God through Christ.

When you did not know God, you did service to those, who in reality are no Gods; but now that you know God,

But now, seeing ye know God - yea rather are known of God - how is it that ye turn again unto the weak and beggarly ceremonies, whereunto again ye desire afresh to be in bondage?

Believers, I beg of you, become as I am [free from the bondage of Jewish ritualism and ordinances], for I have become as you are [a Gentile]. You did me no wrong [when I first came to you; do not do it now].

Where then is your sense of happiness now? For I testify about you that if it were possible, you would have pulled out your eyes and given them to me!

So have I now become your enemy for telling you the truth?

Now it is a fine thing to have special attention paid you, if it is done sincerely and unceasingly, and not only when I am with you.

I would I were with you now, and could change my voice, for I stand in a doubt of you.

Now the slave woman's son was conceived through human means, while the free woman's son was conceived through divine promise.

Now all this is an allegory, for these women are the two covenants; one from Mount Sinai, which is Hagar bearing children into bondage

- For mount Sinai is called Hagar in Arabia, and bordereth upon the city which is now Jerusalem - and is in bondage with her children.

Now we, brothers, like Isaac, are children born to fulfill the promise.

But as then he that was born carnally, persecuted him that was born spiritually; Even so is it now.

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

You [Christians] were running [the race of life] well; who hindered you [from making further progress] so that [now] you are no longer obeying the truth?

Now, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.

Now the practices of the lower nature are clear enough: Sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,

envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I now warn you, as I have done before, that those who practice such things shall not be heirs of the kingdom of God.

Now those who belong to the Messiah Jesus have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.

Now the one who is taught the word must share in all good [things] with the one who teaches.

For neither is circumcision anything [of any importance], nor uncircumcision, but [only] a new creation [which is the result of a new birth—a spiritual transformation—a new nature in Christ Jesus].

Now peace and mercy be on all who walk by this rule; that is, on the true Israel of God.

From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.
