which is not another; only there are some who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the Gospel of Christ.

But even if we or an angel out of Heaven should proclaim a Gospel to you other than that which we delivered to you, let him be accursed!

As we have said before, even now also I say again, if any one is delivering a Gospel to you, contrary to that which ye received, let him be accursed.

For I make known to you, brethren, that the Gospel which was proclaimed by me is not according to man;

and I was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judaea, which were in Christ;

but they were only hearing, "He who was once persecuting us now proclaims the faith which once he was destroying."

And I went up according to revelation, and laid before them the Gospel which I preach among the Gentiles; but privately to those of repute, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

and that was because of the false brethren secretly introduced, who, indeed, crept in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

And, perceiving the grace which was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas right-hands of fellowship, that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

only they desired that we should remember the poor, which very thing I was also eager to do.

This only do I wish to learn of you: Did ye receive the Spirit by works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his Seed. He saith not, "And to seeds," as of many; but as of One, "and to your Seed"; which is Christ.

But this I say: A covenant previously confirmed by God, the law, which came into existence four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate, that it should make the promise of no effect.

Is the law, then, against the promises of God? It could not be! For, if a law had been given, which was able to make alive, truly righteousness would have been by law;

But then, indeed, when ye knew not God, ye served those which by nature are no gods;

but, after having known God, or rather having been known by God, how are ye turning back again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which ye desire to be in bondage again?

Which things are an allegory; for these women are two covenants; one, indeed, from mount Sinai, bringing forth into servitude, which is Hagar

But the Jerusalem which is above is free, which, indeed, is our mother;

For the flesh covets against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary one to the other, that ye may not do the things which ye wish.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

envyings, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, as I also said before, that those practicing such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.

As many as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

For neither do those themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

But it could not be that I should glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has become crucified to me, and I to the world.
