but on the contrary, seeing that I am intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, like Peter of the circumcision, for the one having wrought with Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision also wrought with me unto the Gentiles: and having known the grace of God which was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who seem to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

Therefore, O king, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision: but first to those in Damascus, and also in Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles, I was preaching that they should repent and turn to God, doing things worthy of repentance.

Then having received help from God, I have stood unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said were about to come to pass: how that Christ must suffer, how being the first from the resurrection of the dead, he is to proclaim light both to the people, and the Gentiles.

And God, who knows the heart, witnessed to them, giving to them the Holy Ghost, as also to us; and made no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

And the whole multitude became silent, and continued to hear Barnabas and Paul, relating how many miracles and wonders God wrought among the Gentiles through them. And after they became silent, James responded, saying, Men, brethren, hear me. Symeon hath related how God in the first place interposed to take a people from the Gentiles, in His name. And to this corresponds the words of the prophet; as has been written, After these things I will return, and will build again the throne of David, which has fallen down; and will build again the ruins of the same, and will set it up again: in order that the residue of men may seek out the Lord, even all the Gentiles, on whom my name has been called upon them, says the Lord, who doeth these things known from the beginning. Therefore I judge, that we should not burden those from the Gentiles turning to God: but to command them to abstain from things offered to idols, and from fornication, and from strangulation, and from blood.

Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, themselves also proclaiming the same things by speech. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no more burden than these necessary things, to abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which keeping yourselves, you will do well. Fare ye well. Then indeed they, having been sent away, came down into Antioch, and convening the multitude, they delivered the letter. And having read it, they rejoiced over the consolation.

Then after fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking also Titus with me; but I went up according to revelation; and I presented to them the gospel which I am preaching among the Gentiles, but privately to the prominent ones, lest perhaps I am running, or did run, in vain. But neither was Titus the one with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised:read more.
but on account of the false brethren having crept in, who came in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order that they shall bring us into bondage: to whom I rendered not submission for an hour; in order that the truth of the gospel may abide with you.

Christ has set you free with freedom, Therefore stand, and be not again entangled with the yoke of bondage. Behold I Paul say unto you, that, if you may be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. And again I witness to every man who is circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.read more.

Whether is he the God of the Jews only? is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yea, also of the Gentiles:

Then I say; Whether did they stumble that they may fall? it could not be so: but by their fall, salvation came to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy. But if the fall of them was the riches of the world, and the depletion of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? But I speak to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry:read more.
if perchance I may provoke my flesh, and save some of them. For if the casting away of them was the reconciling of the world, what will their reception be, but life from the dead? But if the first fruit was holy, the lump is also: if the root was holy, the branches are also. And if certain ones of the branches were broken off, and you being a wild olive-tree are grafted in among them, and have become a partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive-tree; boast not against the branches: but if you boast, you are not bearing the root, but the root you. Then you will say, The branches were broken off, that I may be grafted in. Beautifully; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith, Think not high things, but fear. For if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

But if you belong to Christ then you are the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.

After these things I saw, and behold a great multitude, which no one was able to number, out of every nation, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands;

And I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven having the eternal gospel to preach to those dwelling upon the earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people,

There is no longer Jew nor Greek, nor bond nor free, nor male and female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that is working out evil, both the Jew first, and the Greek; but glory and honor and peace to every one doing good; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For there is no respect of persons with God.

Then therefore you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and members of the household of God, having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone,

where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: but Christ is all things, and in all.

And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: and it behooves me to bring them and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

For thus the Lord has commanded us, I have placed thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shalt be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth. And the Gentiles hearing, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and so many as had been ordained unto eternal life believed:

whom he called, even us, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles: as he says in Hosea, I will call them my people, who are not my people; and her beloved, who is not beloved: and it shall come to pass, in the place in which it was said to them, You are not my people, there they shall be called the sons of the living God:

but to you who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

As Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Then know that those who are of faith, the same are the sons of Abraham. But the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, That in thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed.read more.
Therefore those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. For so many as are of works of law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who does not abide in all things which have been written in the book of the law, to do the same. But that no one is justified by law in the sight of God, is evident: because, The just shall live by faith: though the law is not of faith; but the one having done these things shall live in them. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: because it has been written; Cursed is every one having been hung on the wood: in order that the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus may come to the Gentiles; in order that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Then does this blessedness come on the circumcision, or on the uncircumcision? for we say That faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness. Then how was it imputed? to him, being in circumcision or uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. And he received the sign of circumcision, and the seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had in uncircumcision: that he should be the father of all who believed, through uncircumcision; and righteousness should be imputed to them;read more.
and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision or uncircumcision avails anything; but faith working through divine love.
