For do I now trust men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I were still pleasing men I would not be a bondman of Christ.

Why then the law? It was added on account of transgressions, until the seed would come to whom it was promised, which was arranged through heavenly agents in the hand of a mediator.

Is the law therefore against the promises of God? May it not happen! For if a law was given that could make alive, truly righteousness would be from law.

Where then is your satisfaction? For I testify to you, that if possible, having plucked your eyes out, ye would have given them to me.

O that those who trouble you would even cut it all off.
