I am amazed that you are so soon shifting your ground, and deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ,

and had called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach his gospel among the Gentiles, without consulting a human being,

But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves also have been found to be sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? Far from it!

I have been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I who am living, but it is Christ who is living in me; and the life I am now living in the flesh, I am living in faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.

but the Scripture has shut up the whole world in prison together under sin, in order that the promise due to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who have faith.

But when the fulness of time was come God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under law,

And because you are sons, God sent forth the spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Dear, dear Father!"

So each one of you is no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir, too, through God's grace.

but while the son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, the son by the free woman was born in fulfilment of a promise.

Now all this is an allegory, for these women are the two covenants; one from Mount Sinai, which is Hagar bearing children into bondage

(for the word Hagar stands for Mt. Sinai in Arabia and represents the present Jerusalem who with her children is in bondage.)

but just as in old times the son born by the flesh used to persecute the son born by the power of the Spirit, so also it is now.

But what does the Scripture say? Send away the slave-woman and her son; for the slave's son shall not be heir along with the son of the free woman.
