Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, -

For am I, even now, persuading, men, or God? Or am I seeking to please, men? If I had been still pleasing, men, Christ's servant, had I not been!

For I make known unto you, brethren, as to the glad-message which was announced by me, that it is not after man;

For neither, from man, did I accept it, nor was taught it , - but through a revealing of Jesus Christ.

For ye have heard, as to my own manner of life, at one time, in Judaism, how that, exceedingly, was I persecuting the assembly of God, and laying it waste,

Unto whom, not even for an hour, gave we place by the required submission, - in order that, the truth of the glad-message, might still abide with you.

For, he that energised in Peter, into an apostleship to the circumcision, energised also in me, for the nations, -

For, before that certain came from James, with them of the nations, used he to eat; whereas, when they came, he used to withdraw, and keep himself separate, fearing them of the circumcision;

Now, if in seeking to be declared righteous in Christ we, ourselves also, were found sinners, - is Christ, therefore, a minister, of sin? Far be it!

For, if, the things that I pulled down, these, again, I build, a transgressor, I prove, myself, to be.

For, I, through means of law, unto law, died, that, unto God, I might live: -

With Christ, have I been crucified; and, living no longer, am, I, but, living in me, is, Christ, - while, so far as I now do live in flesh, by faith, I live - The faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up in my behalf.

I do not set aside the favour of God; for, if, through law, is righteousness, then, Christ, without cause, died.

And, the scripture, foreseeing, that, by faith, God would declare the nations righteous, fore-announced the good news unto Abraham, saying, All the nations shall be blessed in thee.

For, as many as are of works of law, are, under a curse, - for it is written - Accursed, is everyone that continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them.

And, this, I say - a covenant previously confirmed by God, the law which, after four hundred and thirty years, hath been brought into being, doth not annul, so as to do away with the promise.

For, if, by law, is the inheritance, it is, no longer, by promise; but, unto Abraham, through promise, hath God favoured it.

Is, the law, then, against the promises of God? Far be it! For, if a law had been given, which had been able to give life, verily, in law, would have been our righteousness;

So that, the law, hath proved, our tutor, training us, for Christ, in order that, by faith, we might be declared righteous;

For ye, all, are, sons of God, through the faith in Christ Jesus;

For ye, as many as, into Christ, have been immersed, have put Christ, on:

There cannot be Jew or Greek, there cannot be bond or free, there cannot be male and female, for, all ye, are one, in Christ Jesus:

But I say: - for as long a time as, the heir, is an infant, he differeth, nothing, from a servant, though, lord of all,

But is, under guardians, and stewards, until the day fore-appointed of the father:

I am afraid of you - lest by any means, in vain, I should have toiled for you!

Where, then, is the happiness ye accounted yours? For I bear you witness - that, if possible, your eyes, ye would have dug out, and given unto me.

They shew a zeal for you, not honourably, but wish, to shut you out, in order that ye may be zealous for, them.

My dear children! for whom I, again, am in birth-pains, until Christ be formed within you; -

For it is written, that, Abraham, had two sons - one by the bondmaid, and one by the free woman;

But, he that was of the bondmaid, after the flesh, had been born, whereas, he that was of the free woman, through means of a promise.

Which things, indeed, may bear another meaning; for, the same, are two covenants, - one, indeed, from Mount Sinai, into bondage, bringing forth, the which is Hagar, -

And, the Hagar, is Mount Sinai, in Arabia, - she answereth, however, unto the present Jerusalem, for she is in bondage with her children;

But, the Jerusalem above, is free, - the which is our mother;

For it is written - Be gladdened, O barren one! that wast not giving birth, break forth and shout, thou that wast not in birth-pains, - because, more, are the children of the deserted one, than of her that had the husband.

But, what saith the scripture? Cast out the serving woman and her son; for in nowise shall the son of the serving woman inherit with the son of the free.

Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a serving woman, but of the free: -

With her freedom, Christ hath made you, free. Stand fast, therefore, and do not, again, with a yoke of servitude, be held fast!

For, we, in Spirit, by faith, for a hope of righteousness, are ardently waiting, -

For, in Christ Jesus, neither, circumcision, availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith, through love, energising.

I, am persuaded regarding you, in the Lord - that, for nothing else, ye will have any regard; but, he that is troubling you, shall bear the sentence, - whosoever he may be.

For, ye, on a footing of freedom, were called, brethren, - only, turn not your freedom into an occasion to the flesh, but, by means of your love, be serving one another;

For, the whole law, in one word, is summed up - namely in this, - Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself.

For, the flesh, coveted against the Spirit, but, the Spirit, against the flesh, - for, these, unto one another, are opposed, lest, whatsoever things ye chance to desire, these, ye should be doing!

For, if any one thinketh he is something, when he is, nothing, he deceiveth himself;

But, his own work, let each one be putting to the proof, and, then, for himself alone, the matter of boasting, shall he have, and not for some other,

For, each one, his own proper load, shall bear: -

Be not deceiving yourselves! God, is not to be mocked; for, whatsoever a man soweth, the same, shall he also reap, -

And, in doing that which is honourable, let us not be fainthearted; for, in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.

As many as are wishing to make a good show in flesh, the same, are compelling you to get circumcised, - only that, for the cross of Christ Jesus, they may not be suffering persecution!

For, not even they who are getting circumcised, are, themselves, observing law, - but are wishing you to be circumcised, that, in your flesh, they may boast themselves.

With me, however, far be it! to be boasting, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, - whereby, unto me, a world hath been crucified, and, I, unto a world;

For neither circumcision is anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; -

For the rest, annoyances, unto me, let no one be offering; for, I, the brandmarks of Jesus, in my body, am bearing.
