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

for neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through revelation of Jesus Christ.

to whom not even for an hour did we yield in subjection, that the truth of the Gospel might continue with you.

This only do I wish to learn of you: Did ye receive the Spirit by works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if, indeed, it be even in vain.

Now the law is not of faith; but "He who did them shall live in them."

for as many of you as were immersed into Christ, did put on Christ.

For freedom did Christ make us free; stand fast, therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.
