who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father;

I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,

which is not another one; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.

But I let you know, brethren, as to the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.

For ye have heard what was my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;

was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,

only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:

and it was on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.

but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of the circumcision,

(for he that wrought in Peter for the apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles,)

and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go to the nations, and they to the circumcision;

only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.

for before that certain came from James, he ate with those of the nations; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision;

and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation.

But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?

but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law nor but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of the faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.

For I, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.

I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but in that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons;

and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.

So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

but that by law no one is justified with God is evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;

but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.

that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.

So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.

that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive sonship.

But ye know that in weakness of the flesh I announced the glad tidings to you at the first;

What then was your blessedness? for I bear you witness that, if possible, plucking out your own eyes ye would have given them to me.

They are not rightly zealous after you, but desire to shut you out from us, that ye may be zealous after them.

For it is written that Abraham had two sons; one of the maid servant, and one of the free woman.

But he that was of the maid servant was born according to flesh, and he that was of the free woman through the promise.

For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break out and cry, thou that travailest not; because the children of the desolate are more numerous than those of her that has a husband.

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

Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

And I witness again to every man who is circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.

Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?

The persuasibleness is not of him that calls you.

I have confidence as to you in the Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt of it, whosoever he may be.

I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.

but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;

envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.

But they that are of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.

Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teaches in all good things.

Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatever a man shall sow, that also shall he reap.

For he that sows to his own flesh, shall reap corruption from the flesh; but he that sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit shall reap eternal life:

As many as desire to have a fair appearance in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ.

For neither do they that are circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
