For ye have heard of my conduct formerly in Judaism; that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and was destroying it,

and made progress in Judaism beyond many of the same age with me in my nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus;

Stand firm in the liberty with which Christ made us free, and be not again bound fast to the yoke of bondage.

yea, I testify again to every one who becometh circumcised, that he is bound to keep the whole Law.
