I am astonished that you are so quickly removed from him who called you in the grace of Christ into another gospel;

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days;

but I saw no other of the apostles, except James the brother of the Lord.

And the rest of the Jews also reciprocated with him; so that even Barnabas was led away by their dissimulation.

But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, If you being a Jew are living like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how do you compel the Gentiles to judaize?

But if seeking to be justified in Christ, we may also be found sinners, then is Christ the minister of sin? it could not be so.

Are you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect in the flesh?

Have you suffered so many things in vain? if indeed in vain.

For so many as are of works of law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who does not abide in all things which have been written in the book of the law, to do the same.

But the promises were spoken to Abraham and his seed. He does not say, And unto seeds, as of many; but as of one; And thy seed, which is Christ.

And I say this; The law which was given after four hundred and thirty years, does not disannul the covenant which had been before confirmed of God, so as to make the promise of none effect.

Then was the law against the promises of God? it could not be so. For if the law was given being able to create life, truly justification would have been by law:

for so many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Behold I Paul say unto you, that, if you may be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

And I say, Walk about in the Spirit, and do not perfect the lust of carnality.

For carnality wars against the Spirit, and the Spirit against carnality; for these are antagonistical to one another; so that you may not do the things which you may wish.

envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and things like unto these: which I tell you beforehand, as I did previously say to you, that those doing such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Bear the burdens of one another, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man may sow, that shall he also reap:

You see with how large letters I have written unto you with my own hand.

So many as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised; only that they do not suffer persecution on account of the cross of Christ.

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