GA-11 Paul an apostle not of men neither by man but by Jesus
Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead .
GA-12 And all the brethren which are with me unto the churches
of Galatia .
GA-13 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father and from
our Lord Jesus Christ .
GA-14 Who gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us
from this present evil world according to the will of God and
our Father .
GA-15 To whom be glory for ever and ever Amen .
GA-16 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called
you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel .
GA-17 Which is not another but there be some that trouble you
and would pervert the gospel of Christ .
GA-18 But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other
gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you let
him be accursed .
GA-19 As we said before so say I now again If any man preach
any other gospel unto you than that ye have received let him be
accursed .
GA-110 For do I now persuade men or God or do I seek to please
men for if I yet pleased men I should not be the servant of
Christ .
GA-111 But I certify you brethren that the gospel which was
preached of me is not after man .
GA-112 For I neither received it of man neither was I taught it
but by the revelation of Jesus Christ .
GA-113 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the
Jews' religion how that beyond measure I persecuted the church
of God and wasted it .
GA-114 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals
in mine own nation being more exceedingly zealous of the
traditions of my fathers .
GA-115 But when it pleased God who separated me from my
mother's womb and called me by his grace .
GA-116 To reveal his Son in me that I might preach him among
the heathen immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood .
GA-117 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were
apostles before me but I went into Arabia and returned again
unto Damascus .
GA-118 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see
Peter and abode with him fifteen days .
GA-119 But other of the apostles saw I none save James the
Lord's brother .
GA-120 Now the things which I write unto you behold before God
I lie not .
GA-121 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia .
GA-122 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea
which were in Christ .
GA-123 But they had heard only That he which persecuted us in
times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed .
GA-124 And they glorified God in me .
* GA-21 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem
with Barnabas and took Titus with me also .
GA-22 And I went up by revelation and communicated unto them
that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles but privately to
them which were of reputation lest by any means I should run or
had run in vain .
GA-23 But neither Titus who was with me being a Greek was
compelled to be circumcised .
GA-24 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in
who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in
Christ Jesus that they might bring us into bondage .
GA-25 To whom we gave place by subjection no not for an hour
that the truth of the gospel might continue with you .
GA-26 But of these who seemed to be somewhat whatsoever they
were it maketh no matter to me God accepteth no man's person for
they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me
.
GA-27 But contrariwise when they saw that the gospel of the
uncircumcision was committed unto me as the gospel of the
circumcision was unto Peter .
GA-28 For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the
apostleship of the circumcision the same was mighty in me toward
the Gentiles .
GA-29 And when James Cephas and John who seemed to be pillars
perceived the grace that was given unto me they gave to me and
Barnabas the right hands of fellowship that we should go unto
the heathen and they unto the circumcision .
GA-210 Only they would that we should remember the poor the
same which I also was forward to do .
GA-211 But when Peter was come to Antioch I withstood him to
the face because he was to be blamed .
GA-212 For before that certain came from James he did eat with
the Gentiles but when they were come he withdrew and separated
himself fearing them which were of the circumcision .
GA-213 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him insomuch
that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation .
GA-214 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according
to the truth of the gospel I said unto Peter before them all If
thou being a Jew livest after the manner of Gentiles and not as
do the Jews why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the
Jews .
GA-215 We who are Jews by nature and not sinners of the
Gentiles .
GA-216 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the
law but by the faith of Jesus Christ even we have believed in
Jesus Christ that we might be justified by the faith of Christ
and not by the works of the law for by the works of the law
shall no flesh be justified .
GA-217 But if while we seek to be justified by Christ we
ourselves also are found sinners is therefore Christ the
minister of sin God forbid .
GA-218 For if I build again the things which I destroyed I make
myself a transgressor .
GA-219 For I through the law am dead to the law that I might
live unto God .
GA-220 I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live yet not I
but Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the
flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and
gave himself for me .
GA-221 I do not frustrate the grace of God for if righteousness
come by the law then Christ is dead in vain .
* GA-31 O foolish Galatians who hath bewitched you that ye
should not obey the truth before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath
been evidently set forth crucified among you .
GA-32 This only would I learn of you Received ye the Spirit by
the works of the law or by the hearing of faith .
GA-33 Are ye so foolish having begun in the Spirit are ye now
made perfect by the flesh .
GA-34 Have ye suffered so many things in vain if it be yet in
vain .
GA-35 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit and
worketh miracles among you doeth he it by the works of the law
or by the hearing of faith .
GA-36 Even as Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him
for righteousness .
GA-37 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith the same
are the children of Abraham .
GA-38 And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the
heathen through faith preached before the gospel unto Abraham
saying In thee shall all nations be blessed .
GA-39 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful
Abraham .
GA-310 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the
curse for it is written Cursed is every one that continueth not
in all things which are written in the book of the law to do
them .
GA-311 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of
God it is evident for The just shall live by faith .
GA-312 And the law is not of faith but The man that doeth them
shall live in them .
GA-313 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law being
made a curse for us for it is written Cursed is every one that
hangeth on a tree .
GA-314 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles
through Jesus Christ that we might receive the promise of the
Spirit through faith .
GA-315 Brethren I speak after the manner of men Though it be
but a man's covenant yet if it be confirmed no man disannulleth
or addeth thereto .
GA-316 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made He
saith not And to seeds as of many but as of one And to thy seed
which is Christ .
GA-317 And this I say that the covenant that was confirmed
before of God in Christ the law which was four hundred and
thirty years after cannot disannul that it should make the
promise of none effect .
GA-318 For if the inheritance be of the law it is no more of
promise but God gave it to Abraham by promise .
GA-319 Wherefore then serveth the law It was added because of
transgressions till the seed should come to whom the promise was
made and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator .
GA-320 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one but God is one .
GA-321 Is the law then against the promises of God God forbid
for if there had been a law given which could have given life
verily righteousness should have been by the law .
GA-322 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin that the
promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that
believe .
GA-323 But before faith came we were kept under the law shut up
unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed .
GA-324 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto
Christ that we might be justified by faith .
GA-325 But after that faith is come we are no longer under a
schoolmaster .
GA-326 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ
Jesus .
GA-327 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ
have put on Christ .
GA-328 There is neither Jew nor Greek there is neither bond nor
free there is neither male nor female for ye are all one in
Christ Jesus .
GA-329 And if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed and
heirs according to the promise .
* GA-41 Now I say That the heir as long as he is a child
differeth nothing from a servant though he be lord of all .
GA-42 But is under tutors and governors until the time
appointed of the father .
GA-43 Even so we when we were children were in bondage under
the elements of the world .
GA-44 But when the fulness of the time was come God sent forth
his Son made of a woman made under the law .
GA-45 To redeem them that were under the law that we might
receive the adoption of sons .
GA-46 And because ye are sons God hath sent forth the Spirit of
his Son into your hearts crying Abba Father .
GA-47 Wherefore thou art no more a servant but a son and if a
son then an heir of God through Christ .
GA-48 Howbeit then when ye knew not God ye did service unto
them which by nature are no gods .
GA-49 But now after that ye have known God or rather are known
of God how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements
whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage .
GA-410 Ye observe days and months and times and years .
GA-411 I am afraid of you lest I have bestowed upon you labour
in vain .
GA-412 Brethren I beseech you be as I am for I am as ye are ye
have not injured me at all .
GA-413 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached
the gospel unto you at the first .
GA-414 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not
nor rejected but received me as an angel of God even as Christ
Jesus .
GA-415 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of for I bear you
record that if it had been possible ye would have plucked out
your own eyes and have given them to me .
GA-416 Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the
truth .
GA-417 They zealously affect you but not well yea they would
exclude you that ye might affect them .
GA-418 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good
thing and not only when I am present with you .
GA-419 My little children of whom I travail in birth again
until Christ be formed in you .
GA-420 I desire to be present with you now and to change my
voice for I stand in doubt of you .
GA-421 Tell me ye that desire to be under the law do ye not
hear the law .
GA-422 For it is written that Abraham had two sons the one by a
bondmaid the other by a freewoman .
GA-423 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh
but he of the freewoman was by promise .
GA-424 Which things are an allegory for these are the two
covenants the one from the mount Sinai which gendereth to
bondage which is Agar .
GA-425 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to
Jerusalem which now is and is in bondage with her children .
GA-426 But Jerusalem which is above is free which is the mother
of us all .
GA-427 For it is written Rejoice thou barren that bearest not
break forth and cry thou that travailest not for the desolate
hath many more children than she which hath an husband .
GA-428 Now we brethren as Isaac was are the children of promise
.
GA-429 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted
him that was born after the Spirit even so it is now .
GA-430 Nevertheless what saith the scripture Cast out the
bondwoman and her son for the son of the bondwoman shall not be
heir with the son of the freewoman .
GA-431 So then brethren we are not children of the bondwoman
but of the free .
* GA-51 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ
hath made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of
bondage .
GA-52 Behold I Paul say unto you that if ye be circumcised
Christ shall profit you nothing .
GA-53 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised that
he is a debtor to do the whole law .
GA-54 Christ is become of no effect unto you whosoever of you
are justified by the law ye are fallen from grace .
GA-55 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of
righteousness by faith .
GA-56 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any
thing nor uncircumcision but faith which worketh by love .
GA-57 Ye did run well who did hinder you that ye should not
obey the truth .
GA-58 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you .
GA-59 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump .
GA-510 I have confidence in you through the Lord that ye will
be none otherwise minded but he that troubleth you shall bear
his judgment whosoever he be .
GA-511 And I brethren if I yet preach circumcision why do I yet
suffer persecution then is the offence of the cross ceased .
GA-512 I would they were even cut off which trouble you .
GA-513 For brethren ye have been called unto liberty only use
not liberty for an occasion to the flesh but by love serve one
another .
GA-514 For all the law is fulfilled in one word even in this
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself .
GA-515 But if ye bite and devour one another take heed that ye
be not consumed one of another .
GA-516 This I say then Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not
fulfil the lust of the flesh .
GA-517 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit and the Spirit
against the flesh and these are contrary the one to the other so
that ye cannot do the things that ye would .
GA-518 But if ye be led of the Spirit ye are not under the law .
GA-519 Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are these
Adultery fornication uncleanness lasciviousness .
GA-520 Idolatry witchcraft hatred variance emulations wrath
strife seditions heresies .
GA-521 Envyings murders drunkenness revellings and such like of
the which I tell you before as I have also told you in time past
that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of
God .
GA-522 But the fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace
longsuffering gentleness goodness faith .
GA-523 Meekness temperance against such there is no law .
GA-524 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with
the affections and lusts .
GA-525 If we live in the Spirit let us also walk in the Spirit .
GA-526 Let us not be desirous of vain glory provoking one
another envying one another .
* GA-61 Brethren if a man be overtaken in a fault ye which are
spiritual restore such an one in the spirit of meekness
considering thyself lest thou also be tempted .
GA-62 Bear ye one another's burdens and so fulfil the law of
Christ .
GA-63 For if a man think himself to be something when he is
nothing he deceiveth himself .
GA-64 But let every man prove his own work and then shall he
have rejoicing in himself alone and not in another .
GA-65 For every man shall bear his own burden .
GA-66 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him
that teacheth in all good things .
GA-67 Be not deceived God is not mocked for whatsoever a man
soweth that shall he also reap .
GA-68 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit
reap life everlasting .
GA-69 And let us not be weary in well doing for in due season
we shall reap if we faint not .
GA-610 As we have therefore opportunity let us do good unto all
men especially unto them who are of the household of faith .
GA-611 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with
mine own hand .
GA-612 As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh they
constrain you to be circumcised only lest they should suffer
persecution for the cross of Christ .
GA-613 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the
law but desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in
your flesh .
GA-614 But God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of
our Lord Jesus Christ by whom the world is crucified unto me and
I unto the world .
GA-615 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any
thing nor uncircumcision but a new creature .
GA-616 And as many as walk according to this rule peace be on
them and mercy and upon the Israel of God .
GA-617 From henceforth let no man trouble me for I bear in my
body the marks of the Lord Jesus .
GA-618 Brethren the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your
spirit Amen .
