Unto whom be the glory unto the ages of ages: Amen!

But, even if, we, or, a messenger out of heaven, announce a glad-message unto youaside from that which we announced unto you, accursed, let him be!

As we have said before, even now, again, I say: If anyone is announcing unto you a glad-message aside from that which ye accepted, accursed, let him be!

For I make known unto you, brethren, as to the glad-message which was announced by me, that it is not after man;

And was still unknown, by face, unto the assemblies of Judaea which were in Christ, -

And I went up by revelation, and laid before them the glad-message which I proclaim among the nations; privately, however, to them of repute, - lest, by any means, in vain, I should be running, or had run.

But, not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised; -

Unto whom, not even for an hour, gave we place by the required submission, - in order that, the truth of the glad-message, might still abide with you.

Moreover, from them who were reputed to be something, - whatsoever at one time, they were, maketh no difference to me, God accepteth not a man's person, - unto me, in fact, they who were of repute added nothing further;

And when they perceived the favour which had been given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave, the right hand of fellowship, unto me and Barnabas, in order that, we, should go unto the nations, and, they, unto the circumcision: -

And the rest of the Jews alsoused hypocrisy with him, so that, even Barnabas, was carried away by their hypocrisy.

We, by nature Jews, and not sinners from among the nations,

Knowing, however, that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, nor at all save through faith in Christ Jesus; even we, on Christ Jesus, believed, that we might be declared righteous - by faith in Christ, and not by works of law; because, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous.

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!

For, if, the things that I pulled down, these, again, I build, a transgressor, I prove, myself, to be.

With Christ, have I been crucified; and, living no longer, am, I, but, living in me, is, Christ, - while, so far as I now do live in flesh, by faith, I live - The faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up in my behalf.

This only, am I wishing to learn from you: - by works of law, received ye, the Spirit? or by a believed report?

So thoughtless, are ye? Having made a beginning in Spirit, are ye, now, in flesh, to be made complete?

He then who was supplying unto you the Spirit, and energising mighty works among you, by works of law, or by a believed report did he it ?

Be taking note, therefore - that, they who are of faith, the same, are, sons, of Abraham;

And, the scripture, foreseeing, that, by faith, God would declare the nations righteous, fore-announced the good news unto Abraham, saying, All the nations shall be blessed in thee.

Moreover, that, in law, no one, is declared righteous with God, is evident, - because, The righteous one, by faith, shall live;

And, this, I say - a covenant previously confirmed by God, the law which, after four hundred and thirty years, hath been brought into being, doth not annul, so as to do away with the promise.

For, if, by law, is the inheritance, it is, no longer, by promise; but, unto Abraham, through promise, hath God favoured it.

Is, the law, then, against the promises of God? Far be it! For, if a law had been given, which had been able to give life, verily, in law, would have been our righteousness;

But the Scripture, did shut up, all things, under sin, that, the promise by faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to them who have faith,

Before the coming of the faith, however, under law, were we being kept in ward, being shut up unto the faith which should afterwards, be revealed.

So that, the law, hath proved, our tutor, training us, for Christ, in order that, by faith, we might be declared righteous;

There cannot be Jew or Greek, there cannot be bond or free, there cannot be male and female, for, all ye, are one, in Christ Jesus:

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

But, when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, who came to be of a woman, who came to be under law, -

But, at that time - not knowing God, ye were in servitude unto them who, by nature, are not Gods;

Whereas, now, having acknowledged God, - or rather, having been acknowledged by God, how turn ye back again unto the weak and beggarly elementary principles, unto which, over again, ye are wishing, to come into servitude?

I am afraid of you - lest by any means, in vain, I should have toiled for you!

Howbeit ye know that, by reason of a weakness of the flesh, I myself announced the glad-message unto you, formerly;

So then, your enemy, have I become, by dealing truthfully with you?

They shew a zeal for you, not honourably, but wish, to shut you out, in order that ye may be zealous for, them.

My dear children! for whom I, again, am in birth-pains, until Christ be formed within you; -

I could wish, however, to be present with you, even now, and to change my voice, - because I am perplexed regarding you.

Tell me! ye who, under law, are wishing to be: The law, do ye not hear?

For it is written, that, Abraham, had two sons - one by the bondmaid, and one by the free woman;

For it is written - Be gladdened, O barren one! that wast not giving birth, break forth and shout, thou that wast not in birth-pains, - because, more, are the children of the deserted one, than of her that had the husband.

With her freedom, Christ hath made you, free. Stand fast, therefore, and do not, again, with a yoke of servitude, be held fast!

See! I, Paul, say unto you - if ye be getting circumcised, Christ will profit you, nothing.

Ye have been set aside from Christ, ye who, by law, are to be declared righteous, - out of his favour, ye have fallen;

For, we, in Spirit, by faith, for a hope of righteousness, are ardently waiting, -

Ye were running well: - who hath hindered you, that, by truth, ye are not to be persuaded?

I, am persuaded regarding you, in the Lord - that, for nothing else, ye will have any regard; but, he that is troubling you, shall bear the sentence, - whosoever he may be.

For, ye, on a footing of freedom, were called, brethren, - only, turn not your freedom into an occasion to the flesh, but, by means of your love, be serving one another;

If, however, one another, ye bite and devour, take heed lest, by one another, ye be consumed!

I say, moreover - by Spirit, be walking, and, fleshly coveting, ye will in nowise fulfil;

For, the flesh, coveted against the Spirit, but, the Spirit, against the flesh, - for, these, unto one another, are opposed, lest, whatsoever things ye chance to desire, these, ye should be doing!

And, if, by Spirit, ye are being led, ye are not under law.

If we live by Spirit, by Spirit, let us also walk.

Brethren! if a man should even be overtaken in any fault, ye, the spiritual, be restoring such a one, in a spirit of meekness, looking to thyself, lest, even thou, be put to the test.

One another's burdens, be ye bearing, and, so, fill up the law of the Christ.

But, his own work, let each one be putting to the proof, and, then, for himself alone, the matter of boasting, shall he have, and not for some other,

Be not deceiving yourselves! God, is not to be mocked; for, whatsoever a man soweth, the same, shall he also reap, -

And, in doing that which is honourable, let us not be fainthearted; for, in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.

Hence, then, as we have opportunity, let us be working what is good, towards all, - but, especially, towards the family of the faith.

As many as are wishing to make a good show in flesh, the same, are compelling you to get circumcised, - only that, for the cross of Christ Jesus, they may not be suffering persecution!

For, not even they who are getting circumcised, are, themselves, observing law, - but are wishing you to be circumcised, that, in your flesh, they may boast themselves.

With me, however, far be it! to be boasting, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, - whereby, unto me, a world hath been crucified, and, I, unto a world;

And, as many as, by this rule, shall walk, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

For the rest, annoyances, unto me, let no one be offering; for, I, the brandmarks of Jesus, in my body, am bearing.

The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
