Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from among the dead,

who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father;

to whom be glory to the ages of ages. Amen.

But when God, who set me apart even from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

nor went I up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.

only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:

(but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised;)

and it was on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.

But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;

and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go to the nations, and they to the circumcision;

I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but in that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you; to whom, as before your very eyes, Jesus Christ has been portrayed, crucified among you?

He therefore who ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, is it on the principle of works of law, or of the report of faith?

So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them;

Why then the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the seed came to whom the promise was made, ordained through angels in the hand of a mediator.

But then indeed, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods;

my children, of whom I again travail in birth until Christ shall have been formed in you:

Tell me, ye who are desirous of being under law, do ye not listen to the law?

And I witness again to every man who is circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.

Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?

I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.

envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.

Brethren, if even a man be taken in some fault, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself lest thou also be tempted.

But far be it from me to boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
