As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.

Because I say to you, my brothers, that the good news of which I was the preacher is not man's.

Brothers, as men would say, even a man's agreement, when it has been made certain, may not be put on one side, or have additions made to it.

Now to Abraham were the undertakings given, and to his seed. He says not, And to seeds, as of a great number; but as of one, he says, And to your seed, which is Christ.

Now this I say: The law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not put an end to the agreement made before by God, so as to make the undertaking without effect.

But I say that as long as the son is a child, he is in no way different from a servant, though he is lord of all;

Say, you whose desire it is to be under the law, do you not give ear to the law?

What then do the Writings say? Send away the servant-woman and her son; for the son of the servant-woman will not have a part in the heritage with the son of the free woman.

See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.
