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),

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.

For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:

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,

For before certain men came from James, he did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

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

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?

Did you undergo such a number of things to no purpose? if it is in fact to no purpose.

For all those of you who were given baptism into Christ did put on Christ.

And you did not have a poor opinion of me because of the trouble in my flesh, or put shame on it; but you took me to your hearts as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

This ready belief did not come from him who had made you his.

Envy, uncontrolled drinking and feasting, and such things: of which I give you word clearly, even as I did in the past, that they who do such things will have no part in the kingdom of God.
