We have said it before, and I repeat it now--If any one tells you a 'Good News' other than that which you received, may he be accursed!

(As to what I am now writing to you, I call God to witness that I am speaking the truth).

All that they had heard was--'The man who once persecuted us is now telling the Good News of the very Faith of which he once made havoc.'

Can you be so foolish? After beginning with what is spiritual, do you now end with what is external?

Now it was to Abraham that the promises were made, 'and to his offspring.' It was not said 'to his offsprings,' as if many persons were meant, but the words were 'to thy offspring,' showing that one person was meant--and that was Christ.

Now mediation implies more than one person, but God is one only.

But now that faith has come we no longer need a guide.

But now that you have found God--or, rather, have been found by him--how is it that you are turning back to that poor and feeble puerile teaching, to which yet once again you are wanting to become slaves?

But I could wish to be with you now and speak in a different tone, for I am perplexed about you.

Yet at that time the child born in the course of nature persecuted the child born by the power of the Spirit; and it is the same now.
