But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,

I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,

But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

They only asked us to remember the poor -- which very thing I was also zealous to do.

And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?

Even as Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness."

What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn't despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.

Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.

But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
