And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from my fathers.

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,

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and was there with him fifteen days.

Then I came to the parts of Syria and Cilicia.

Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me.

I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.

Be certain, then, that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

For it is in the Writings, You who have never given birth, be glad; give cries of joy, you who have had no birth-pains; for the children of her who has been given up by her husband are more than those of the woman who has a husband.

Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.

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