Grace be to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

I wonder that you have so quickly turned away from him that called you in the grace of Christ to another gospel,

But when God who gave me being and called me by his grace,

but on the contrary seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter was of the circumcision,??8 for he that operated in Peter for the apostleship of the circumcision, operated also in me for the gentiles,??9 and knowing the grace given me, James and Cephas and John, who were manifest pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship that we should go to the gentiles and they to the circumcision;

I do not reject the grace of God; for if rightousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

You have departed from Christ, whoever of you are justified by the law, you have fallen from the grace.

And I, brothers, if I preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then has the offense of the cross ceased.

Those who wish to make a fair appearance in the flesh compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

But far be it from me to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me and I to the world.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers; amen.
