who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from the present evil life according to the will of God even our Father,

I wonder that you have so quickly turned away from him that called you in the grace of Christ to another gospel,

For I certify you, brothers, of the gospel preached by me, that it is not according to man;

For you heard of my conduct formerly in Judaism, that I greatly persecuted the church of God and destroyed it;

was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the gentiles, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

only they heard that he who persecuted us formerly, now preached the faith which he formerly destroyed;

we did not yield to them by subjection, for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

but on the contrary seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter was of the circumcision,??8 for he that operated in Peter for the apostleship of the circumcision, operated also in me for the gentiles,??9 and knowing the grace given me, James and Cephas and John, who were manifest pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship that we should go to the gentiles and they to the circumcision;

only [they wished] that we should remember the poor, which I was also forward to do.

and the other Jews also dissembled with him, so that Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.

But when I saw that they walked not correctly, according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before all, If you being a Jew live after the manner of the gentiles, and not after the manner of the Jews, why do you compel the gentiles to practise Judaism?

knowing that a man is not justified by works of the law but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed in Jesus Christ, that we may be justified by faith and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

For by a law I have died to the law, that I may live to God.

He then that imparts to you the Spirit, and exercises miraculous powers among you, does he do it by works of the law, or by the doctrine of faith?

Know, therefore, that those of faith, these are children of Abraham.

And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, promised before to Abraham, In you shall all the nations be blessed.

For as many as are of works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things written in the book of the law to do them.

And it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, because the just shall live by faith,

but the law is not of faith, but he that does these things shall live by them.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree,

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

And this I say; that the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot abrogate the covenant previously established by God, to make the promise of no effect.

but the Scripture has shut up all under sin, that the promise of the faith of Jesus Christ may be given to them that believe.

So that the law was our schoolmaster to lead to Christ, that we might be justified by faith;

But I say, that as long as the heir is a child, he differs not from a servant, though he is lord of all,

that he might redeem those under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

So that you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, also an heir of God.

What then was your blessedness? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have dug out your eyes and have given them to me.

They are zealous for you, but not well, but they wish to exclude you that you may be zealous for them.

Tell me, you that wish to be under the law, do you not hear the law?

For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by a servant woman, and the other by a free woman.

for it is written, Rejoice, barren woman, that did not bear, break forth and cry, woman that had no pain, for the children of the desolate are more numerous than those of her who had a husband.

But as then he that was born of the flesh persecuted him that was born of the Spirit, so also now.

Behold, I Paul tell you, that if you are circumcised Christ will not profit you.

For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is bound to perform the whole law.

This persuasion is not of him that calls you.

I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will not be of another mind; but he that troubles you shall bear his sin, whoever he is.

I would that they were cut off that disturb you.

But if you bite and devour one another, see that you be not consumed one by another.

For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are opposed one to another, so that you do not what you wish.

murders, drunkenness, revellings and the like, of which I tell you before, as I have also previously told you, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Brothers, if a man is overtaken with any fault, do you that are spiritual restore such a one with a spirit of meekness, considering yourself; lest you also be tried.

Let him that is taught the word communicate with him that teaches of all good things.

Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what a man sows, that shall he also reap;

for he that sows for his flesh, shall of the flesh reap destruction; but he that sows for the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life eternal.

Those who wish to make a fair appearance in the flesh compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

For the circumcised themselves do not keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised that they may glory in your flesh.
