We have said it before, and I repeat it now--If any one tells you a 'Good News' other than that which you received, may he be accursed!

But when God, who had set me apart even before my birth, and who called me by his love,

But I was still unknown even by sight to the Christian Churches in Judea;

But, when I saw that they were not dealing straightforwardly with the Truth of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, "If you, who were born a Jew, adopt Gentile customs, instead of Jewish, why are you trying to compel the Gentile converts to adopt Jewish customs?"

Now it was to Abraham that the promises were made, 'and to his offspring.' It was not said 'to his offsprings,' as if many persons were meant, but the words were 'to thy offspring,' showing that one person was meant--and that was Christ.

My point is this--An agreement already confirmed by God cannot be canceled by the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, so as to cause the promise to be set aside.

Does that set the Law in opposition to God's promises? Heaven forbid! For, if a Law had been given capable of bestowing Life, then righteousness would have actually owed its existence to Law.

It is for freedom that Christ set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not again be held under the yoke of slavery.
