As we have said before, and now I say again, if any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be condemned to hell!

Am I now trying to gain the approval of people, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ!

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

They were only hearing, "The one who once persecuted us is now proclaiming the good news of the faith he once tried to destroy."

Now this matter arose because of the false brothers with false pretenses who slipped in unnoticed to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, to make us slaves.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Are you so foolish? Although you began with the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by human effort?

Now it is clear no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous one will live by faith.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. Scripture does not say, "and to the descendants," referring to many, but "and to your descendant," referring to one, who is Christ.

Now an intermediary is not for one party alone, but God is 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 faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

Now I mean that the heir, as long as he is a minor, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything.

But now that you have come to know God (or rather to be known by God), how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless basic forces? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?

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!

I wish I could be with you now and change my tone of voice, because I am perplexed about you.

Now Hagar represents Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

But just as at that time the one born by natural descent persecuted the one born according to the Spirit, so it is now.

Now, brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity,

Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it.

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