For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

I do not make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing."

For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."

Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, "The righteous will live by faith."

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"

For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not. For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.

But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.

I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,

Where 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.

They zealously seek you, but for no good purpose; they desire to alienate you, that you may be zealous for them.

but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the free woman.

These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to slavery, which is Hagar.

For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and represents Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in slavery with her children.

For it is written, "Rejoice, you barren who do not bear. Break forth and shout, you that do not travail. For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has a husband."

However what does the Scripture say? "Throw out the handmaid and her son, for the son of the handmaid will not inherit with the son of the free woman."

For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only do not use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

For each man will bear his own burden.

Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up.

As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

For even they who receive circumcision do not keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.

For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body.

having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,

do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the church,

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition,

For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things;

Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.

For this cause, I bow my knees before the Father,

for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ;

Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

And walk in love, even as Christ also loved us, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.

Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,

For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.

But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.

For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the savior of the body.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;

For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also does the church;

"For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world's rulers of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:

for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.

for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;

It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.

For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.

For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

since he longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you had heard that he was sick.

For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.

because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.

More than that, I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.

For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,

For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

Yes, I beg you also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
