who gave himself for our sins, so that he might rescue us, according to the will of our God and Father, out of the evil age that has come,

For do I now trust men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I were still pleasing men I would not be a bondman of Christ.

For I make known to you, brothers, the good-news that was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

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

For ye heard of my former behavior in Judaism, that I persecuted the church of God to extraordinariness, and ravaged it.

to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, so that the truth of the good-news might continue with you.

But from those who were reputed to be something (what kind they were formerly, it makes no difference to me, God does not accept a personage of man), for those who were of repute added nothing to me,

but to the contrary, when they saw that I was entrusted with the good-news for men of uncircumcision, as Peter for men of circumcision

(for he who was working in Peter for the apostleship for men of circumcision was also working in me for the Gentiles),

and James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, when they understood the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship. So that we were for the Gentiles, and they for me

For before certain men came from James he ate together with the Gentiles, but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing men of circumcision.

For if I build again these things that I torn down, I demonstrate myself a transgressor.

For I, through law, died to law, so that I might live to God.

I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And what I now live in flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.

I do not disregard the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died in vain.

Just as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

For as many as are from works of law are under a curse, for it is written, Cursed is every man who does not continue in all things written in the book of the law, to do them.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, Cursed is every man who hangs on a tree.

So that the blessing of Abraham might occur for the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

And I say this, a covenant previously confirmed by God in Christ, the law, which happened four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul in order to make the promise useless.

For if the inheritance is from law, it is no longer from promise. But God has given it to Abraham through promise.

Is the law therefore against the promises of God? May it not happen! For if a law was given that could make alive, truly righteousness would be from law.

But before faith came we were kept in custody under law, having been confined for faith that was going to be revealed.

So that the law became our schoolmaster for Christ, so that we might be made righteous from faith.

For ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

For as many as were immersed into Christ have put on Christ.

There is no Jew nor Greek, there is no bondman nor freeman, there is no male and female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

But I say the heir, for as long a time as he is a child, differs nothing from a bondman though he is lord of all.

Where then is your satisfaction? For I testify to you, that if possible, having plucked your eyes out, ye would have given them to me.

They are zealous for you but not honorably. They want to exclude you, so that ye may be zealous for them.

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one from the servant girl, and one from the freewoman.

Which things are allegorized, for these are two covenants, indeed one from mount Sinai giving birth for bondage, which is Hagar.

For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and it corresponds to the present Jerusalem, and is in bondage with her children.

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

For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren woman not giving birth. Burst forth and shout, thou not suffering birth pains, because many more are the children of the desolate than of her who has the husband.

Nevertheless, what does the scripture say? Send away the servant girl and her son, for the son of the servant girl will, no, not inherit with the son of the freewoman.

For we, in a Spirit of faith, wait for a hope of righteousness.

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

For ye, brothers, were called to liberty, only not liberty for an opportunity to the flesh, but be servants to each other through love.

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in the, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.

For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit is against the flesh. For these are hostile to each other, so that whatever these things are ye may want, ye may not do.

For if some man presumes to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

For each man will bear his own burden.

Be not misled, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows this he will also reap.

And let us not be weary doing good, for in our own time we will reap, not desponding.

As many as desire to make a good impression in flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only so that they may not be persecuted for the cross of the Christ.

For not even those who have been circumcised themselves keep law, but they want you to be circumcised, so that they may boast in thy flesh.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

Finally, let no man cause troubles for me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
