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!

I have said it before, and I now repeat it, if any one is preaching a gospel to you other than that which you have received, let him be accursed.

Think you that I am now trying to conciliate men or God? Or am I "seeking to please men"? If I were still seeking to please men, I should not be a slave of Christ.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel preached by me is not based on human thought.

(In what I am now writing, I call God to witness that I am telling the truth.)

only they used to hear it said, "He who was once persecuting us is now preaching the gospel of the very faith which he once tried to ruin."

Now I went up [there] because of a revelation and laid out to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles, but in private to the influential people, lest somehow I was running, or had run, in vain.

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 seeking to be declared righteous in Christ we, ourselves also, were found sinners, - is Christ, therefore, a minister, of sin? Far be it!

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

I have been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I who am living, but it is Christ who is living in me; and the life I am now living in the flesh, I am living in faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.

Are you so without sense? After beginning with the Spirit, will you now end with 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 that no man gets righteousness by the law in the eyes of God, is clear; because, The upright will be living by faith.

now the law does not justify by FAITH, but says, "he that DOES these things shall live by them."

Now it was to Abraham that the promises were spoken, and to his offspring. God did not say, "offsprings" as if speaking of many, but "and to your offspring," as of one; and this is Christ.

Now this I say: The law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not put an end to the agreement made before by God, so as to make the undertaking without effect.

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 implies more than one person, but God is only one.)

Now before faith came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners until the coming faith would be revealed.

but now that the Faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor-slave.

there is now no distinction of Jew or Greek, of bond or free, of male or female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

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

Now I say that as long as the heir is a child, he differs in no way from a slave, though he is the owner of everything.

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,

Now, however, when you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you are beginning to turn back to those weak and beggarly externalities, eager to be in bondage to them again?

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!

Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?

Now it is always good to be enthusiastic about good—and not just when I am with you.

How I wish I could be with you now, that I might change my tone; for I am perplexed about you.

Now the son by the servant-woman has his birth after the flesh; but the son by the free woman has his birth through the undertaking of God.

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

Now this Hagar is the mountain Sinai in Arabia, and is the image of the Jerusalem which now is: which is a servant with her children.

Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are the children of the undertaking of God.

but just as in old times the son born by the flesh used to persecute the son born by the power of the Spirit, so also it is 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 still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest; such, for instance, as fornication, impurity, indecency,

drunkenness, revellings, and such like, concerning which I forewarn you now, as heretofore I have done, that they who practise such vices, shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the 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 trouble me [by making it necessary for me to justify my authority as an apostle, and the absolute truth of the gospel], for I bear on my body the branding-marks of Jesus [the wounds, scars, and other outward evidence of persecutions—these testify to His ownership of me].
