as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive -- anathema let him be!

but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with that of the circumcision,

according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;

for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,'

Brethren, as a man I say it, even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to,

and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to thy seed,' which is Christ;

for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;

And I say, so long time as the heir is a babe, he differeth nothing from a servant -- being lord of all,

Become as I am -- because I also am as ye brethren, I beseech you; to me ye did no hurt,

and my trial that is in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me -- as Christ Jesus;

And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise,

but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now;

for all the law in one word is fulfilled -- in this: 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;'

envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.

therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.

as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,

and as many as by this rule do walk -- peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God!
