agreeing to that which is written, "He that gathered much had never the more abundance, and he that gathered little, had nevertheless."

Thanks be unto God, which put in the heart of Titus the same good mind toward you.

We have sent with them a brother of ours, whom we have oft times proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent. The great confidence which I have in you

hath caused me this to do: partly for Titus' sake - which is my fellow, and helper as concerning you - partly because of others which are our brethren, and the messengers of the congregations, and the glory of Christ.

This yet remember, how that he which soweth little, shall reap little: and he that soweth plenteously shall reap plenteously.

ye may be made rich in all singleness, which causeth through us, thanksgiving unto God.

which praise God for the obedience of your professing the gospel of Christ, and for your singleness, in distributing to them, and to all men.

I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and softness of Christ, which when I am present among you, am of no reputation, but am bold toward you being absent.

I beseech you that I need not to be bold when I am present - with that same confidence, wherewith I am supposed to be bold - against some which repute us as though we walked carnally.

And though I should boast myself somewhat more of our authority which the Lord hath given us to edify and not to destroy you, it should not be to my shame.

For we cannot find in our hearts to make ourselves of the number of them, or to compare ourselves to them, which laud themselves. Nevertheless, while they measure themselves with themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they understand nought.

But we will not rejoice above measure: but according to the quantity of the measure which God hath distributed unto us, a measure that reacheth even unto you.

and to preach the gospel in those regions which are beyond you, and not to rejoice of that which is by another man's measure prepared already.

For if he that cometh to you preach another Jesus than him whom we preached, or if ye receive another spirit than that which ye have received, either another gospel than that ye have received; ye might right well have been content.

And when I was present with you and had need, I was grievous to no man. For that which was lacking unto me, the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I kept myself that I should not be grievous to you: and so will I keep myself.

Nevertheless what I do, that will I do to cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they might be found like unto us in that wherein they rejoice:

And beside the things which outwardly happen unto me, I am cumbered daily and do care for all congregations.

The God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

I know a man in Christ above fourteen years agone - whether he were in the body I cannot tell, or whether he were out of the body I cannot tell; God knoweth - which was taken up into the third heaven.

how that he was taken up into paradise, and heard words not to be spoken, which no man can utter.

Did I defraud you by any of them which I sent unto you?

I fear lest when I come again, God bring me low among you, and I be constrained to bewail many of them which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness, and fornication, and wantonness which they have committed.

I told you before, and tell you before, and as I said when I was present with you the second time, so write I now, being absent, to them which in time past have sinned, and to all others: that if I come again, I will not spare;

seeing that ye seek experience of Christ which speaketh in me, which among you is not weak, but is mighty in you.

I desire before God that ye do none evil, not that we should seem commendable: but that ye should do that which is honest, and let us be counted as lewd persons.

Therefore write I these things being absent, lest when I am present I should use sharpness according to the power which the Lord hath given me, to edify, and not to destroy.

Paul an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and by God the father which raised him from death,

and all the brethren which are with me. Unto the congregations of Galatia.

which gave himself for our sins, to deliver us from this present evil world, through the will of God our father,

which is nothing else, but that there be some which trouble you, and intend to pervert the gospel of Christ.

Nevertheless, though we ourselves, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, hold him as accursed.

I certify you brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me, was not after the manner of men,

and prevailed in the Jews' law, above many of my companions, which were of mine own nation, and was a much more fervent maintainer of the traditions of the elders.

But when it pleased God, which separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

neither returned to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me: but went my ways into Arabia, and came again unto Damascus.

The things which I write, behold, God knoweth I lie not.

and was unknown, as touching my person, unto the congregations of Jewry, which were in Christ.

But they heard only, that he which persecuted us in time past, now preacheth the faith, which before he destroyed.

Yea, and I went up by revelation, and commended with them of the gospel, which I preach among the gentiles - but between ourselves with them which were counted chief, lest it should have been thought that I should run, or had run in vain.

Also Titus which was with me, though he were a Greek, yet was not compelled to be circumcised;

and that because of incomers, being false brethren, which came in among others to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage.

Of them which seemed to be great - what they were in time passed it maketh no matter to me: God looketh on no man's person - nevertheless they seemed great, added nothing to me:

and therefore when James, Cephas, and John, which seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the righthands, and agreed with us that we should preach among the heathen, and they among the Jews:

warning only that we should remember the poor, which thing also I was diligent to do.

For yer that certain came from James, he ate with the gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision,

We which are Jews by nature and not sinners of the gentiles,

For if I build again that which I destroyed, then make I myself a trespasser.

I am crucified with Christ. I live verily, yet now not I, but Christ liveth in me. For the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the son of God, which loved me, and gave himself for me.

Which ministered to you the spirit, and worketh miracles among you: doth he it through the deeds of the law? Or by preaching of the faith?

Understand, therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

So then, they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

For as many as are under the deeds of the law, are under malediction. For it is written, "Cursed is every man that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to fulfil them."

To Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, "in the seeds," as in many: But, "in thy seed," as in one, which is Christ.

This I say, that the law which began afterward, beyond four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul the testament, that was confirmed afore of God unto Christ ward, to make the promise of none effect.

Wherefore then serveth the law? The law was added because of transgression - till the seed came, to which the promise was made - and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Is the law, then, against the promise of God? God forbid. Howbeit, if there had been a law given which could have given life: then no doubt righteousness should have come by the law.

Before that faith came, we were kept and shut up under the law, unto the faith which should afterward be declared.

For ye are all the sons of God, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

to redeem them which were under the law: that we through election might receive the inheritance that belongeth unto the natural sons.

Because ye are sons, God hath sent the spirit of his son into our hearts, which crieth "Abba, father."

Notwithstanding, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them, which by nature were no gods:

And my temptation which I suffered by reason of my flesh, ye despised not, neither abhorred, but received me as an angel of God: yea as Christ Jesus.

Yea, and he which was of the bondwoman, was born after the flesh: but he which was of the freewoman, was born by promise.

Which things betoken mystery. For these women are two testaments, the one from the mount Sinai, which gendreth unto bondage, which is Hagar.

- For mount Sinai is called Hagar in Arabia, and bordereth upon the city which is now Jerusalem - and is in bondage with her children.

But Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is the mother of us all.

For it is written, "Rejoice thou barren, that bearest no children: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not. For the desolate hath many more children, than she which hath a husband."

I testify again to every man which is circumcised that he is bound to keep the whole law.

For in Jesus Christ, neither is circumcision anything worth, neither yet uncircumcision: but faith, which by love is mighty in operation.

Brethren, if I yet preach circumcision: why do I then yet suffer persecution? For then had the offense which the cross giveth, ceased.

I would to God they were separated from you, which trouble you.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, which is this, "Thou shalt love thine neighbour as thyself."

For the flesh lusteth contrary to the spirit, and the spirit contrary to the flesh. These are contrary one to the other, so that ye cannot do that which ye would.

The deeds of the flesh are manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, wantonness,

envying, murder, drunkenness, gluttony, and such like. Of the which I tell you before, as I have told you in time past, that they which commit such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Brethren, if any man be fallen by chance into any fault, ye which are spiritual, help to amend him, in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

While we have, therefore, time; let us do good unto all men, and specially, unto them which are of the household of faith.

For they themselves which are circumcised keep not the law: but desire to have you circumcised that they might rejoice in your flesh.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God. To the saints which are at Ephesus, and to them which believe on Jesus Christ.

Blessed be God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which hath blessed us with all manner of spiritual blessings in heavenly things by Christ,

which grace he shed on us abundantly in all wisdom, and prudence.

the same in himself to have it declared when the time were full come: that all things, both the things which are in heaven, and also the things which are in earth, should be gathered together, even in Christ. That is to say, in him

in whom we are made heirs, and were thereto predestinate according to the purpose of him which worketh all things after the purpose of his own will:

that we should be unto the praise of his glory, which before believed in Christ.

which is the earnest of our inheritance, to redeem the possession purchased, and that unto the laud of his glory.

Wherefore even I - after that I heard of the faith which ye have in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints -

and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us ward, which believe according to the working of that his mighty power,

which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him on his righthand in heavenly things,

which is his body, and fullness of him, that filleth all in all things.

in the which, in time past, ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the governor that ruleth in the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of unbelief,

among which we also had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of our flesh, and fulfilled the will of the flesh, and of the mind: and were naturally the children of wrath, even as well as others.

But God, which is rich in mercy through his great love wherewith he loved us,

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, unto the which God ordained us before, that we should walk in them.

Wherefore, remember that ye, being in time past gentiles in the flesh, and were called "uncircumcision" to them which are called "circumcision" in the flesh - which circumcision is made by hands -

But now in Christ Jesus, ye which a while ago were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken down the wall in the midst, that was a stop between us,

and came, and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

For this cause, I Paul the servant of Jesus Christ am in bonds for your sakes, which are heathen -

If ye have heard of the ministration of the grace of God which is given me to you ward -

which mystery in times past was not opened unto the sons of men as it is now declared unto his holy apostles and prophets by the spirit:
