You

And I hope you will realize that we have not failed the test.

Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not that we will appear to have stood the test, but that you will do what is right, even if we appear to have failed.

Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not that we will appear to have stood the test, but that you will do what is right, even if we appear to have failed.

In fact, we rejoice when we are weak but you are strong, and our prayer is for your perfection.

This is why I write these things while absent, so that when I am present I will not need to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.

Finally, brothers, rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

All the saints send you greetings.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—

I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—

…which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse!

As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!

As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!

For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.

For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.

I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.

I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.

We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.

When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.

I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?

Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?

Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?

The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”

You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.

And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.

And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”

So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.

So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.

So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.

Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.

Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.

But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?

You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!

I fear for you, that my efforts for you may have been in vain.

I beg you, brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong.

You know that it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you.

You know that it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you.

And although my illness was a trial to you, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus Himself.

What then has become of your blessing? For I can testify that, if it were possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.

Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?

Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them.

Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them.

Nevertheless, it is good to be zealous if it serves a noble purpose—at any time, and not only when I am with you.

My children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,

…how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you.

Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not understand what the law says?

Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not understand what the law says?

For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”

Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.

Take notice: I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.

You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

You were running so well. Who has obstructed you from obeying the truth?

You were running so well. Who has obstructed you from obeying the truth?

Such persuasion does not come from the One who calls you.

I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

As for those who are agitating you, I wish they would proceed to emasculate themselves!

For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love.

But if you keep on biting and devouring one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.

But if you keep on biting and devouring one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

…and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.

Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!

Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.

For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
