Having given himself for our sins, that he might take us away out of this present evil time, according to the will of God and our Father:

To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of flesh and blood,

And they were glorifying God [as the Author and Source of what had taken place and all that had been accomplished] in me.

Then, after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken with me also Titus;

It was in obedience to a revelation that I went; and I laid before the Apostles the Good News that I am proclaiming among the Gentiles. I did this privately before those who are thought highly of, for fear that I might possibly be taking, or might have already taken, a course which would prove useless.

But from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were has no weight with me: God does not take man's person into account): those who seemed to be important gave nothing new to me;

Only, we were to remember the poor, and that I have taken pains to do.

For before certain men came from James, he did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

To take an illustration, Brothers, from daily life--No one sets aside even an agreement between two men, when once it has been confirmed, nor does he add conditions to it.

So the law has been a servant to take us to Christ, so that we might have righteousness by faith.

This story may be taken as an allegory. The women stand for two Covenants. One Covenant, given from Mount Sinai, produces a race of slaves and is represented by Hagar

Take note! I, Paul, tell you that if you get yourselves circumcised, Christ will not benefit you at all.

I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view [contrary to mine on the matter]; but the one who is disturbing you, whoever he is, will have to bear the penalty.

But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.

But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

Brethren, if even a man be taken in some fault, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself lest thou also be tempted.

Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.

But let each man test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.

For not even those who practice circumcision comply with [the requirements of] the law of Moses, yet they want you to be circumcised so they can take credit for this physical evidence [of your compliance with the law of Moses].
