For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.

But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased

I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ;

I went up because of a revelation; and I set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did this privately to those who were of reputation, for fear that I was running or had run my race in vain.

But even Titus, who was with me, was not compelled to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.

But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had slipped in to spy out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.

and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.

The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?

Did you suffer so many things in vainif it really was in vain?

Even so Abraham "believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness."

Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

But the Scripture has bound everyone under sin, so that that what was promised by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

So the law was our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

you know it was because of an illness in the flesh that I preached the gospel to you at first;

and though my fleshly condition was a trial to you, you did not despise or scorn me, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus himself.

But the son by the slave was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.

But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now.

It was for freedom that Christ has set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
