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

Favour unto you and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ, -

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, -

For am I, even now, persuading, men, or God? Or am I seeking to please, men? If I had been still pleasing, men, Christ's servant, had I not been!

For ye have heard, as to my own manner of life, at one time, in Judaism, how that, exceedingly, was I persecuting the assembly of God, and laying it waste,

But, when God, who set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his favour, was well-pleased

Now, as touching the things which I am writing to you, lo! before God, I am not guilty of falsehood: -

And they were glorifying, God, in me.

Moreover, from them who were reputed to be something, - whatsoever at one time, they were, maketh no difference to me, God accepteth not a man's person, - unto me, in fact, they who were of repute added nothing further;

For, I, through means of law, unto law, died, that, unto God, I might live: -

With Christ, have I been crucified; and, living no longer, am, I, but, living in me, is, Christ, - while, so far as I now do live in flesh, by faith, I live - The faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up in my behalf.

I do not set aside the favour of God; for, if, through law, is righteousness, then, Christ, without cause, died.

Even as Abraham - believed in God, and it was reckoned unto him as righteousness.

And, the scripture, foreseeing, that, by faith, God would declare the nations righteous, fore-announced the good news unto Abraham, saying, All the nations shall be blessed in thee.

Moreover, that, in law, no one, is declared righteous with God, is evident, - because, The righteous one, by faith, shall live;

And, this, I say - a covenant previously confirmed by God, the law which, after four hundred and thirty years, hath been brought into being, doth not annul, so as to do away with the promise.

For, if, by law, is the inheritance, it is, no longer, by promise; but, unto Abraham, through promise, hath God favoured it.

Now, a mediator, is not a mediator of one, but, God, is, one.

Is, the law, then, against the promises of God? Far be it! For, if a law had been given, which had been able to give life, verily, in law, would have been our righteousness;

For ye, all, are, sons of God, through the faith in Christ Jesus;

But, when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, who came to be of a woman, who came to be under law, -

And, because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, exclaiming, Abba! Oh Father!

So that, no longer, art thou a servant, but a son; and, if a son, an heir also, through God.

But, at that time - not knowing God, ye were in servitude unto them who, by nature, are not Gods;

Whereas, now, having acknowledged God, - or rather, having been acknowledged by God, how turn ye back again unto the weak and beggarly elementary principles, unto which, over again, ye are wishing, to come into servitude?

And, your trial, in my flesh, ye despised not, neither spat ye in disgust , but, as a messenger of God, ye welcomed me - as Christ Jesus.

envyings, drunkenness, revellings; - and such things as these: as to which I forewarn you, even as I have forewarned you, - that, they who such things as these do practise, shall not inherit, God's kingdom.

Howbeit, let him who is being orally instructed in the word, have fellowship with him that is so instructing him, in all good things.

Be not deceiving yourselves! God, is not to be mocked; for, whatsoever a man soweth, the same, shall he also reap, -

Hence, then, as we have opportunity, let us be working what is good, towards all, - but, especially, towards the family of the faith.

As many as are wishing to make a good show in flesh, the same, are compelling you to get circumcised, - only that, for the cross of Christ Jesus, they may not be suffering persecution!

And, as many as, by this rule, shall walk, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
