Now as to the things I am writing to you, behold, before God, I am not lying.

For, if I am building up again, what I pulled down, I show myself to be a transgressor.

I have been crucified with Christ; and no longer am I living, but Christ is living in me; and, in so far as I am now living in flesh, I live in the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.

Brethren, I am speaking after the manner of man: even a man's confirmed covenant no one sets aside, or adds thereto.

for as many of you as were immersed into Christ, did put on Christ.

I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have toiled for you in vain.

Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am; because I also was as ye are. Ye wronged me in nothing;

But it is good to be zealously sought in a good thing at all times, and not only when I am present with you,

my little children, for whom I am in travail again, until Christ be formed in you!

And I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice; because I am perplexed about you.

envyings, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, as I also said before, that those practicing such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Henceforth let no one occasion trouble to me; for I am bearing in my body the brand-marks of Jesus.
