Paul, an apostle not from men nor by men but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead,

not that [there] is a different [gospel], except there are some who are disturbing you and wanting to distort the gospel of Christ.

For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught [it], but [I received it] through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days,

Now I went up [there] because of a revelation and laid out to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles, but in private to the influential people, lest somehow I was running, or had run, in vain.

(for the one who was at work through Peter for [his] apostleship to the circumcision was at work also through me for the Gentiles),

and the rest of the Jews also joined in [this] hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with them in [their] hypocrisy.

For through the law I died to the law, in order that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ,

I do not declare invalid the grace of God, for if righteousness [is] through the law, then Christ died to no purpose.

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

For if the inheritance [is] from the law, [it is] no longer from the promise, but God graciously gave [it] to Abraham through the promise.

Why then the law? It was added on account of transgressions, until the descendant should come to whom it had been promised, having been ordered through angels by the hand of a mediator.

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

so that you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, also an heir through God.

But the one by the female slave was born according to human descent, and the one by the free woman through the promise,

For through the Spirit by faith we eagerly await the hope of righteousness.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not let your freedom [become] an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

gentleness, self control. Against such things [there] is no law.

But [as] for me, may it never be [that I] boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
