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 .
