Having given himself for our sins, that he might take us away out of this present evil time, according to the will of God and our Father:

To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of flesh and blood,

And they were glorifying God [as the Author and Source of what had taken place and all that had been accomplished] in me.

Then, after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken with me also Titus;

and I went up according to revelation, and communicated to them that gospel, which I preach among the Gentiles; but privately to those who were of note, lest the pains, that I have already taken, or may hereafter take in the gospel, should be in vain.

But from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were has no weight with me: God does not take man's person into account): those who seemed to be important gave nothing new to me;

Only, we were to remember the poor, and that I have taken pains to do.

For before certain men came from James, he did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

To take an illustration, brothers, from daily life: even a human agreement, once ratified, no one annuls or alters.

So the law has been a servant to take us to Christ, so that we might have righteousness by faith.

(for all of you who had yourselves baptized into Christ have taken on the character of Christ).

To ransom those who were subject to Law, so that we might take our position as sons.

I beg you, brothers, take my point of view, just as I took yours. You did me no injustice then.

Where then is that happy condition of yours? because I give you witness, that, if possible, you would have taken out your eyes and given them to me.

This story may be taken as an allegory. The women stand for two Covenants. One Covenant, given from Mount Sinai, produces a race of slaves and is represented by Hagar

Take note! I, Paul, tell you that if you get yourselves circumcised, Christ will not benefit you at all.

By our union with the Lord I have confidence in you that you will take no other view of the matter. The man who is unsettling you will certainly pay the penalty for it, no matter who it turns out to be.

But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.

But if you are always biting and devouring one another, take heed lest you be utterly consumed one by another.

Brothers, if a man is taken in any wrongdoing, you who are of the Spirit will put such a one right in a spirit of love; keeping watch on yourself, for fear that you yourself may be tested.

Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.

Let each one examine his own work. Then he can take pride in himself and not compare himself with someone else.

For not even those who practice circumcision comply with [the requirements of] the law of Moses, yet they want you to be circumcised so they can take credit for this physical evidence [of your compliance with the law of Moses].
