other assemblies I did rob, having taken wages, for your ministration;

and being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for my lack did the brethren supply -- having come from Macedonia -- and in everything burdenless to you I did keep myself, and will keep.

from Jews five times forty stripes save one I did receive;

Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me,

I have become a fool -- boasting; ye -- ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles -- even if I am nothing.

And be it so, I -- I did not burden you, but being crafty, with guile I did take you;

any one of those whom I have sent unto you -- by him did I take advantage of you?

I entreated Titus, and did send with him the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? in the same spirit did we not walk? -- did we not in the same steps?

lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise.

because of this, these things -- being absent -- I write, that being present, I may not treat any sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.

Paul, an apostle -- not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of the dead --

who did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father,

I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;

but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you -- anathema let him be!

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!

for now men do I persuade, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if yet men I did please -- Christ's servant I should not be.

for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught it, but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,

for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it,

nor did I go up to Jerusalem unto those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus,

and other of the apostles I did not see, except James, the brother of the Lord.

and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run;

and that because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,

And from those who were esteemed to be something -- whatever they were then, it maketh no difference to me -- the face of man God accepteth not, for -- to me those esteemed did add nothing,

for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations,

and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision may go,

and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.

having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

for I through law, did die, that to God I may live;

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth -- before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

this only do I wish to learn from you -- by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?

so many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.

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

and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham --

and the law is not by faith, but -- 'The man who did them shall live in them.'

Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

for if by law be the inheritance, it is no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant it.

but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.

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

and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,

and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, 'Abba, Father!'

I am afraid of you, lest in vain I did labour toward you.

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

and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,

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;

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

In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free -- stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;

Ye were running well; who did hinder you -- not to obey the truth?

and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;

Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,

to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,

in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,

for our being to the praise of His glory, even those who did first hope in the Christ,

which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him -- head over all things to the assembly,

Also you -- being dead in the trespasses and the sins,

in which once ye did walk according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience,

among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath -- as also the others,

even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,)

and did raise us up together, and did seat us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle wall of the enclosure did break down,

and having come, he did proclaim good news -- peace to you -- the far-off and the nigh,

if, indeed, ye did hear of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,

and to cause all to see what is the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ,

who, having ceased to feel, themselves did give up to the lasciviousness, for the working of all uncleanness in greediness;

and ye did not so learn the Christ,

if so be ye did hear him, and in him were taught, as truth is in Jesus;

and become one to another kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, according as also God in Christ did forgive you.

and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,

wherefore he saith, 'Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.'

The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly,

whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that ye might know the things concerning us, and that he might comfort your hearts.

having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform it till a day of Jesus Christ,

but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,

wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that is above every name,

the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

and the proof of him ye know, that as a child serveth a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news;

for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.

The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;

if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead.

Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;

and I ask also thee, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who in the good news did strive along with me, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

the things that also ye did learn, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, those do, and the God of the peace shall be with you.

not that in respect of want I say it, for I did learn in the things in which I am -- to be content;

but ye did well, having communicated with my tribulation;

and ye have known, even ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly did communicate with me in regard to giving and receiving except ye only;

who also did declare to us your love in the Spirit.

Giving thanks to the Father who did make us meet for the participation of the inheritance of the saints in the light,

who did rescue us out of the authority of the darkness, and did translate us into the reign of the Son of His love,

And himself is the head of the body -- the assembly -- who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all things -- himself -- first,

because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle,

And you -- once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile,

of which I -- I did become a ministrant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God,

to whom God did will to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations -- which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,

as, then, ye did receive Christ Jesus the Lord, in him walk ye,

being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with him through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead.
