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

Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world according to the will of God and our Father,

I marvel that you so soon are being moved away from Him who called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel,

But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed.

For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it except by a revelation of Jesus Christ.

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and having called me by His grace,

But from those who seemed to be something (what kind they were then does not matter to me; God does not accept the face of man), for those seeming important conferred nothing to me.

For before some came from James, he ate with the nations. But when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision.

This only I would learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone having been hanged on a tree");

But I say, Over so long a time the heir is an infant, he does not differ from a slave, though being lord of all;

which things are being allegorized; for these are the two covenants, one indeed from Mount Sinai bringing forth to slavery, which is Hagar.

But the Jerusalem from above is free, who is the mother of us all.

you who are justified by Law are deprived of all effect from Christ; you fell from grace.

This persuasion is not from Him who calls you.

For he sowing to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh. But he sowing to the Spirit will reap life everlasting from the Spirit.
