I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different "good news";

As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you a "good news" other than that which you received, let him be cursed.

But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,

But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.

But from those who were reputed to be important (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God does not show partiality to man)?they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcision

And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, how can you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?

Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?

So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, "To seeds," as of many, but as of one, "To your seed," which is Christ.

Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.

But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all;

So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.

So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God.

So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

However what does the Scripture say? "Throw out the handmaid and her son, for the son of the handmaid will not inherit with the son of the free woman."

So then, brothers, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the free woman.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.

Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also are not tempted.

Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.

As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God's Israel.
