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

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

and they glorified God in me.

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;

But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;

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;

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;

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
