You have heard of my former conduct when I was attached to the Jewish religion??ow furiously I used to persecute the church of God and ravage it,

And when God, who had set me apart from my birth and had called me in his mercy, saw fit

On the contrary, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the good news for the heathen, just as Peter had been intrusted with it for the Jews??8 for he who actuated Peter to be an apostle to the Jews also actuated me to be one to the heathen??9 and when they recognized the favor God had shown me, James, Cephas, and John, who were regarded as pillars of the church, pledged Barnabas and me their co-operation, with the understanding that we should work among the heathen and they among the Jews.

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, for his own conduct condemned him.

But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the good news, I said to Cephas, right before them all, "If you live like a heathen, and not like a Jew, though you are a Jew yourself, why should you try to make the heathen live like Jews?"

I really convict myself of wrongdoing when I start to rebuild what I tore down.

You senseless Galatians! Who has bewitched you, when you had Jesus Christ shown crucified right before your eyes?

When he supplies you with the Spirit and works wonders among you, is it because you do what the Law commands, or because you believe the message you heard?

So when we were minors, we were slaves to material ways of looking at things,

but when the proper time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, and made subject to law,

But it is a finer thing to be made much of honestly and constantly??ot just when I can be with you,

For if anyone thinks he is somebody when he is really nobody, he is deceiving himself.

See what large letters I make, when I write to you with my own hand!
