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

to reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not straightaway confer with flesh and blood,

nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles before me, but I went into Arabia and returned again to Damascus.

But I did not see another of the apostles except James the Lord's brother.

But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly toward the truth of the good-news, I said to Peter before all, If thou being a Jew, live as a Gentile and not as a Jew, why do thou compel the Gentiles to live as Jews?

I only want to learn this from you. Did ye receive the Spirit from works of law, or from a listening ear of faith?

Did ye suffer so many things in vain? If it is indeed in vain.

And ye did not disdain, nor did ye reject my trial in my flesh, but ye received me as an agent of God, as Christ Jesus.

envyings, murders, intoxications, revelings, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, as I also did forewarn, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
