Book 48 Galatians48:001:001 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus 48:001:002 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of 48:001:003 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our 48:001:004 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from 48:001:005 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 48:001:006 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you 48:001:007 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and 48:001:008 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other 48:001:009 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any 48:001:010 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? 48:001:011 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was 48:001:012 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but 48:001:013 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' 48:001:014 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in 48:001:015 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's 48:001:016 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the 48:001:017 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles 48:001:018 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, 48:001:019 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's 48:001:020 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I 48:001:021 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; 48:001:022 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were 48:001:023 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times 48:001:024 And they glorified God in me. 48:002:001 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with 48:002:002 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that 48:002:003 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was 48:002:004 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who 48:002:005 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that 48:002:006 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, 48:002:007 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the 48:002:008 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship 48:002:009 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, 48:002:010 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same 48:002:011 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the 48:002:012 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the 48:002:013 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that 48:002:014 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the 48:002:015 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 48:002:016 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, 48:002:017 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves 48:002:018 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make 48:002:019 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live 48:002:020 I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but 48:002:021 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come 48:003:001 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should 48:003:002 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the 48:003:003 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made 48:003:004 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. 48:003:005 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh 48:003:006 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for 48:003:007 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are 48:003:008 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the 48:003:009 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful 48:003:010 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the 48:003:011 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, 48:003:012 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them 48:003:013 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made 48:003:014 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles 48:003:015 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a 48:003:016 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith 48:003:017 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before 48:003:018 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of 48:003:019 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of 48:003:020 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. 48:003:021 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for 48:003:022 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the 48:003:023 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up 48:003:024 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto 48:003:025 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a 48:003:026 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 48:003:027 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put 48:003:028 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor 48:003:029 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs 48:004:001 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth 48:004:002 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of 48:004:003 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the 48:004:004 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his 48:004:005 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive 48:004:006 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his 48:004:007 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, 48:004:008 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them 48:004:009 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of 48:004:010 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 48:004:011 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in 48:004:012 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye 48:004:013 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the 48:004:014 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor 48:004:015 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you 48:004:016 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the 48:004:017 They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would 48:004:018 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good 48:004:019 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until 48:004:020 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; 48:004:021 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear 48:004:022 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a 48:004:023 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but 48:004:024 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; 48:004:025 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to 48:004:026 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of 48:004:027 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; 48:004:028 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. 48:004:029 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him 48:004:030 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman 48:004:031 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but 48:005:001 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made 48:005:002 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ 48:005:003 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he 48:005:004 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are 48:005:005 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness 48:005:006 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, 48:005:007 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey 48:005:008 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. 48:005:009 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 48:005:010 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be 48:005:011 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet 48:005:012 I would they were even cut off which trouble you. 48:005:013 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not 48:005:014 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou 48:005:015 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be 48:005:016 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil 48:005:017 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit 48:005:018 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 48:005:019 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; 48:005:020 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, 48:005:021 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of 48:005:022 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, 48:005:023 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 48:005:024 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the 48:005:025 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 48:005:026 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, 48:006:001 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are 48:006:002 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of 48:006:003 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is 48:006:004 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have 48:006:005 For every man shall bear his own burden. 48:006:006 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that 48:006:007 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man 48:006:008 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap 48:006:009 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we 48:006:010 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, 48:006:011 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine 48:006:012 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they 48:006:013 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; 48:006:014 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our 48:006:015 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, 48:006:016 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, 48:006:017 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body 48:006:018 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your |
