Now, as touching the things which I am writing to you, lo! before God, I am not guilty of falsehood: -

Knowing, however, that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, nor at all save through faith in Christ Jesus; even we, on Christ Jesus, believed, that we might be declared righteous - by faith in Christ, and not by works of law; because, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous.

For, I, through means of law, unto law, died, that, unto God, I might live: -

I do not set aside the favour of God; for, if, through law, is righteousness, then, Christ, without cause, died.

This only, am I wishing to learn from you: - by works of law, received ye, the Spirit? or by a believed report?

He then who was supplying unto you the Spirit, and energising mighty works among you, by works of law, or by a believed report did he it ?

For, as many as are of works of law, are, under a curse, - for it is written - Accursed, is everyone that continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them.

Moreover, that, in law, no one, is declared righteous with God, is evident, - because, The righteous one, by faith, shall live;

And, the law, is not of faith, but - he that hath done them, shall live in them,

Christ, hath redeemed, us, out of the curse of the law, having become, in our behalf, a curse; - because it is written - Cursed, is every one that hangeth upon a tree; -

And, this, I say - a covenant previously confirmed by God, the law which, after four hundred and thirty years, hath been brought into being, doth not annul, so as to do away with the promise.

For, if, by law, is the inheritance, it is, no longer, by promise; but, unto Abraham, through promise, hath God favoured it.

Why, then, the law? Because of the transgressions, it was added, until such time as the seed should come, unto whom the promise had been made, and was given in charge through messengers, at the hand of a mediator;

Is, the law, then, against the promises of God? Far be it! For, if a law had been given, which had been able to give life, verily, in law, would have been our righteousness;

Before the coming of the faith, however, under law, were we being kept in ward, being shut up unto the faith which should afterwards, be revealed.

So that, the law, hath proved, our tutor, training us, for Christ, in order that, by faith, we might be declared righteous;

But, when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, who came to be of a woman, who came to be under law, -

That, them who were under law, he might redeem, that, the sonship, we might duly receive; -

Tell me! ye who, under law, are wishing to be: The law, do ye not hear?

Yea, I bear solemn witness again, unto every man getting circumcised, - that he is, a debtor, to do, the whole law.

Ye have been set aside from Christ, ye who, by law, are to be declared righteous, - out of his favour, ye have fallen;

For, the whole law, in one word, is summed up - namely in this, - Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself.

And, if, by Spirit, ye are being led, ye are not under law.

meekness, self-control; - against such things as these, there is no law.

One another's burdens, be ye bearing, and, so, fill up the law of the Christ.

For, not even they who are getting circumcised, are, themselves, observing law, - but are wishing you to be circumcised, that, in your flesh, they may boast themselves.
