no man put it into my hands, no man taught me what it meant, I had it by a revelation of Jesus Christ.

Besides, the so-called 'authorities' (it makes no difference to me what their status used to be ??God pays no regard to the externals of men), these 'authorities' had no additions to make to my gospel.

but since we know a man is justified simply by faith in Jesus Christ and not by doing what the Law commands, we ourselves have believed in Christ Jesus so as to get justified by faith in Christ and not by doing what the Law commands ??for by doing what the Law commands no person shall be justified.

I really convict myself of transgression when I rebuild what I destroyed.

I simply want to ask you one thing: did you receive the Spirit by doing what the Law commands or by believing the gospel message?

When He supplies you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, is it because you do what the Law commands or because you believe the gospel message?

Then what about the Law? Well, it was interpolated for the purpose of producing transgressions till such time as the Offspring arrived to whom the Promise was made; also, it was transmitted by means of angels through the agency of an intermediary

What I mean is this. As long as an heir is under age, there is no difference between him and a servant, though he is lord of all the property;

Now, what has become of all that? (I can bear witness that you would have torn out your very eyes, if you could, and given me them.)

However, what does the scripture say? Put away the slave-woman and her son, for the son of the slave-woman shall not be heir along with the son of the free-woman.

Make no mistake ??God is not to be mocked ??a man will reap just what he sows;

Never let us grow tired of doing what is right, for if we do not faint we shall reap our harvest at the opportune season.

See what big letters I make, when I write you in my own hand!

For what counts is neither circumcision nor uncircumcision, it is the new creation.
