They only heard it said, "He who was once our persecutor is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he formerly made havoc."

Now when Peter visited Antioch, I remonstrated with him to his face, because he had incurred just censure.

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, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me; and the life which I now live in the body I live through faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up to death on my behalf.

Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now going to reach perfection through what is external?

(Now the promises were given to Abraham and to his seed. God did not say 'and to seeds,' as if speaking of many, but 'and to your seed,' since He spoke of only one--and this is Christ.)

But now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor-slave.

Now I say that so long as an heir is a child, he in no respect differs from a slave, although he is the owner of everything,

Now, however, having come to know God--or rather to be known by Him--how is it you are again turning back to weak and worthless rudimentary notions to which you are once more willing to be enslaved?

Yet just as, at that time, the child born in the common course of nature persecuted the one whose birth was due to the power of the Spirit, so it is now.

Now you know full well the doings of our lower natures. Fornication, impurity, indecency, idol-worship, sorcery;

Against such things as these there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their lower nature with its passions and appetites.
