only, of the poor that we should be mindful, which also I was diligent -- this very thing -- to do.

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

this only do I wish to learn from you -- by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?

and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to thy seed,' which is Christ;

Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator --

and now, having known God -- and rather being known by God -- how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude?

they are zealous for you -- yet not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous;

which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, which is Hagar;

and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all,

In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free -- stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;

And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.

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

And for me, let it not be -- to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world;
