Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),

Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.

But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.

As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.

For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

But when it was the good pleasure of God, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,

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

Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

When they saw the grace which was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who had the name of being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas their right hands as friends so that we might go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

Only it was their desire that we would give thought to the poor; which very thing I had much in mind to do.

And the rest of the Jews went after him, so that even Barnabas was overcome by their false ways.

Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.

But if, while we were desiring to get righteousness through Christ, we ourselves were seen to be sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? In no way!

For I, through the law, have become dead to the law, so that I might be living to God.

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.

Give me an answer to this one question, Did the Spirit come to you through the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.

What then is the law? It was an addition made because of sin, till the coming of the seed to whom the undertaking had been given; and it was ordered through angels by the hand of a go-between.

Is the law then against the words of God? in no way; because if there had been a law which was able to give life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.

Their interest in you is not good; but their desire is that you may be shut out, so that you may go after them.

Now the son by the servant-woman has his birth after the flesh; but the son by the free woman has his birth through the undertaking of God.

For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.

Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.

Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law.

But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it.
