1  This <5124> is the third <5154> time I am coming <2064> (5736) to <4314> you <5209>. In <1909> the mouth <4750> of two <1417> or <2532> three <5140> witnesses <3144> shall <2476> <0> every <3956> word <4487> be established <2476> (5701).
2  I told you before <4280> (5758), and <2532> foretell you <4302> (5719), as if <5613> I were present <3918> (5752), the second <1208> time; and <2532> being absent <548> (5752) now <3568> I write <1125> (5719) to them which heretofore have sinned <4258> (5761), and <2532> to all <3956> other <3062>, that <3754>, if <1437> I come <2064> (5632) again <1519> <3825>, I will <5339> <0> not <3756> spare <5339> (5695):
3  Since <1893> ye seek <2212> (5719) a proof <1382> of Christ <5547> speaking <2980> (5723) in <1722> me <1698>, which <3739> to <1519> you-ward <5209> is <770> <0> not <3756> weak <770> (5719), but <235> is mighty <1414> (5719) in <1722> you <5213>.
4  For <1063> <2532> though <1487> he was crucified <4717> (5681) through <1537> weakness <769>, yet <235> he liveth <2198> (5719) by <1537> the power <1411> of God <2316>. For <1063> we <2249> also <2532> are weak <770> (5719) in <1722> him <846>, but <235> we shall live <2198> (5695) with <4862> him <846> by <1537> the power <1411> of God <2316> toward <1519> you <5209>.
5  Examine <3985> (5720) yourselves <1438>, whether <1487> ye be <2075> (5748) in <1722> the faith <4102>; prove <1381> (5720) your own selves <1438>. <2228> Know ye <1921> (5719) not <3756> your own selves <1438>, how that <3754> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> is <2076> (5748) in <1722> you <5213>, except <1509> ye be <2075> (5748) reprobates <5100> <96>?
6  But <1161> I trust <1679> (5719) that <3754> ye shall know <1097> (5695) that <3754> we <2249> are <2070> (5748) not <3756> reprobates <96>.
7  Now <1161> I pray <2172> (5736) to <4314> God <2316> that ye <5209> do <3361> <4160> (5658) no <3367> evil <2556>; not <3756> that <2443> we <2249> should appear <5316> (5652) approved <1384>, but <235> that <2443> ye <5210> should do <4160> (5725) that which is honest <2570>, though <1161> we <2249> be <5600> (5753) as <5613> reprobates <96>.
8  For <1063> we can do <1410> (5736) nothing <3756> <5100> against <2596> the truth <225>, but <235> for <5228> the truth <225>.
9  For <1063> we <2249> are glad <5463> (5719), when <3752> we are weak <770> (5725), and <1161> ye <5210> are <5600> (5753) strong <1415>: and <1161> this <5124> also <2532> we wish <2172> (5736), even your <5216> perfection <2676>.
10  Therefore <5124> <1223> I write <1125> (5719) these things <5023> being absent <548> (5752), lest <3363> being present <3918> (5752) I should use <5530> (5667) sharpness <664>, according <2596> to the power <1849> which <3739> the Lord <2962> hath given <1325> (5656) me <3427> to <1519> edification <3619>, and <2532> not <3756> to <1519> destruction <2506>.
11  Finally <3063>, brethren <80>, farewell <5463> (5720). Be perfect <2675> (5744), be of good comfort <3870> (5744), be of one <846> mind <5426> (5720), live in peace <1514> (5720); and <2532> the God <2316> of love <26> and <2532> peace <1515> shall be <2071> (5704) with <3326> you <5216>.
12  Greet <782> (5663) one another <240> with <1722> an holy <40> kiss <5370>.
13  All <3956> the saints <40> salute <782> (5736) you <5209>.
14  The grace <5485> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and <2532> the love <26> of God <2316>, and <2532> the communion <2842> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, be with <3326> you <5216> all <3956>. Amen <281>. <<The second <1208> epistle to <4314> the Corinthians <2881> was written <1125> (5648) from <575> Philippi <5375>, a city of Macedonia <3109>, by <1223> Titus <5103> and <2532> Lucas <3065>.>>
1  Paul <3972>, an apostle <652>, (not <3756> of <575> men <444>, neither <3761> by <1223> man <444>, but <235> by <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and <2532> God <2316> the Father <3962>, who <3588> raised <1453> (5660) him <846> from <1537> the dead <3498>;)
2  And <2532> all <3956> the brethren <80> which are with <4862> me <1698>, unto the churches <1577> of Galatia <1053>:
3  Grace <5485> be to you <5213> and <2532> peace <1515> from <575> God <2316> the Father <3962>, and <2532> from our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>,
4  Who <3588> gave <1325> (5631) himself <1438> for <5228> our <2257> sins <266>, that <3704> he might deliver <1807> (5643) us <2248> from <1537> this present <1764> (5761) evil <4190> world <165>, according <2596> to the will <2307> of God <2316> and <2532> our <2257> Father <3962>:
5  To whom <3739> be glory <1391> for <1519> ever <165> and ever <165>. Amen <281>.
6  I marvel <2296> (5719) that <3754> ye are <3346> <0> so <3779> soon <5030> removed <3346> (5727) from <575> him that called <2564> (5660) you <5209> into <1722> the grace <5485> of Christ <5547> unto <1519> another <2087> gospel <2098>:
7  Which <3739> is <2076> (5748) not <3756> another <243>; but there be <1526> (5748) some <5100> that <1508> trouble <5015> (5723) you <5209>, and <2532> would <2309> (5723) pervert <3344> (5658) the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>.
8  But <235> though <2532> <1437> we <2249>, or <2228> an angel <32> from <1537> heaven <3772>, preach any other gospel <2097> (5735) unto you <5213> than <3844> that which <3739> we have preached <2097> (5668) unto you <5213>, let him be <2077> (5749) accursed <331>.
9  As <5613> we said before <4280> (5758), so <2532> say I <3004> (5719) now <737> again <3825>, If any <1536> man preach <2097> <0> any other <3844> <0> gospel <2097> (5731) unto you <5209> than <3844> that <3739> ye have received <3880> (5627), let him be <2077> (5749) accursed <331>.
10  For <1063> do I <3982> <0> now <737> persuade <3982> (5719) men <444>, or <2228> God <2316>? or <2228> do I seek <2212> (5719) to please <700> (5721) men <444>? for <1063> if <1487> I <700> <0> yet <2089> pleased <700> (5707) men <444>, I should <302> not <3756> be <2252> (5713) the servant <1401> of Christ <5547>.
11  But <1161> I certify <1107> (5719) you <5213>, brethren <80>, that <3754> the gospel <2098> which <3588> was preached <2097> (5685) of <5259> me <1700> is <2076> (5748) not <3756> after <2596> man <444>.
12  For <1063> I <1473> neither <3761> received <3880> (5627) it <846> of <3844> man <444>, neither <3777> was I taught <1321> (5681) it, but <235> by <1223> the revelation <602> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
13  For <1063> ye have heard <191> (5656) of my <1699> conversation <391> in time past <4218> in <1722> the Jews' religion <2454>, how that <3754> beyond <2596> measure <5236> I persecuted <1377> (5707) the church <1577> of God <2316>, and <2532> wasted <4199> (5707) it <846>:
14  And <2532> profited <4298> (5707) in <1722> the Jews' religion <2454> above <5228> many <4183> my equals <4915> in <1722> mine own <3450> nation <1085>, being <5225> (5723) more exceedingly <4056> zealous <2207> of the traditions <3862> of my <3450> fathers <3967>.
15  But <1161> when <3753> it pleased <2106> (5656) God <2316>, who <3588> separated <873> (5660) me <3165> from <1537> my <3450> mother's <3384> womb <2836>, and <2532> called <2564> (5660) me by <1223> his <848> grace <5485>,
16  To reveal <601> (5658) his <848> Son <5207> in <1722> me <1698>, that <2443> I might preach <2097> (5735) him <846> among <1722> the heathen <1484>; immediately <2112> I conferred <4323> (5639) not <3756> with flesh <4561> and <2532> blood <129>:
17  Neither <3761> went I up <424> (5627) to <1519> Jerusalem <2414> to <4314> them which were apostles <652> before <4253> me <1700>; but <235> I went <565> (5627) into <1519> Arabia <688>, and <2532> returned <5290> (5656) again <3825> unto <1519> Damascus <1154>.
18  Then <1899> after <3326> three <5140> years <2094> I went up <424> (5627) to <1519> Jerusalem <2414> to see <2477> (5658) Peter <4074>, and <2532> abode <1961> (5656) with <4314> him <846> fifteen <1178> days <2250>.
19  But <1161> other <2087> of the apostles <652> saw I <1492> (5627) none <3756>, save <1508> James <2385> the Lord's <2962> brother <80>.
20  Now <1161> the things which <3739> I write <1125> (5719) unto you <5213>, behold <2400> (5628), before <1799> God <2316>, <3754> I lie <5574> (5736) not <3756>.
21  Afterwards <1899> I came <2064> (5627) into <1519> the regions <2824> of Syria <4947> and <2532> Cilicia <2791>;
22  And <1161> was <2252> (5713) unknown <50> (5746) by face <4383> unto the churches <1577> of Judaea <2449> which <3588> were in <1722> Christ <5547>:
23  But <1161> they had <2258> (5713) heard <191> (5723) only <3440>, That <3754> he which persecuted <1377> (5723) us <2248> in times past <4218> now <3568> preacheth <2097> (5731) the faith <4102> which <3739> once <4218> he destroyed <4199> (5707).
24  And <2532> they glorified <1392> (5707) God <2316> in <1722> me <1698>.
1  Then <1899> fourteen <1180> years <2094> after <1223> I went up <305> (5627) again <3825> to <1519> Jerusalem <2414> with <3326> Barnabas <921>, and took <4838> <0> Titus <5103> with me <4838> (5631) also <2532>.
2  And <1161> I went up <305> (5627) by <2596> revelation <602>, and <2532> communicated <394> (5639) unto them <846> that gospel <2098> which <3739> I preach <2784> (5719) among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>, but <1161> privately <2596> <2398> to them which were of reputation <1380> (5723), lest by any means <3381> <4458> I should run <5143> (5725), or <2228> had run <5143> (5627), in <1519> vain <2756>.
3  But <235> neither <3761> Titus <5103>, who <3588> was with <4862> me <1698>, being <5607> (5752) a Greek <1672>, was compelled <315> (5681) to be circumcised <4059> (5683):
4  And <1161> that because of <1223> false brethren <5569> unawares brought in <3920>, who <3748> came in privily <3922> (5627) to spy out <2684> (5658) our <2257> liberty <1657> which <3739> we have <2192> (5719) in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, that <2443> they might bring <2615> <0> us <2248> into bondage <2615> (5672):
5  To whom <3739> we gave place <1502> (5656) by subjection <5292>, no, not <3761> for <4314> an hour <5610>; that <2443> the truth <225> of the gospel <2098> might continue <1265> (5661) with <4314> you <5209>.
6  But <1161> of <575> these who seemed <1380> (5723) to be <1511> (5750) somewhat <5100>, (whatsoever <3697> <4218> they were <2258> (5713), it maketh <1308> <0> no <3762> matter <1308> (5719) to me <3427>: God <2316> accepteth <2983> (5719) no <3756> man's <444> person <4383>:) for <1063> they who seemed <1380> (5723) to be somewhat in conference added <4323> (5639) nothing <3762> to me <1698>:
7  But <235> contrariwise <5121>, when they saw <1492> (5631) that <3754> the gospel <2098> of the uncircumcision <203> was committed unto me <4100> (5769), as <2531> the gospel of the circumcision <4061> was unto Peter <4074>;
8  (For <1063> he that wrought effectually <1754> (5660) in Peter <4074> to <1519> the apostleship <651> of the circumcision <4061>, the same <2532> was mighty <1754> (5656) in me <1698> toward <1519> the Gentiles <1484>:)
9  And <2532> when James <2385>, <2532> Cephas <2786>, and <2532> John <2491>, who <3588> seemed <1380> (5723) to be <1511> (5750) pillars <4769>, perceived <1097> (5631) the grace <5485> that was given <1325> (5685) unto me <3427>, they gave <1325> (5656) to me <1698> and <2532> Barnabas <921> the right hands <1188> of fellowship <2842>; that <2443> we <2249> should go unto <1519> the heathen <1484>, and <1161> they unto <1519> the circumcision <4061>.
10  Only <3440> they would that <2443> we should remember <3421> (5725) the poor <4434>; the same <5124> which <3739> I <4704> <0> also <2532> was forward <4704> (5656) to do <4160> (5658).
11  But <1161> when <3753> Peter <4074> was come <2064> (5627) to <1519> Antioch <490>, I withstood <436> (5627) him <846> to <2596> the face <4383>, because <3754> he was <2258> (5713) to be blamed <2607> (5772).
12  For <1063> before <4253> that certain <5100> came <2064> (5629) from <575> James <2385>, he did eat <4906> (5707) with <3326> the Gentiles <1484>: but <1161> when <3753> they were come <2064> (5627), he withdrew <5288> (5707) and <2532> separated <873> (5707) himself <1438>, fearing <5399> (5740) them which were of <1537> the circumcision <4061>.
13  And <2532> the other <3062> Jews <2453> dissembled <4942> (5681) likewise <2532> with him <846>; insomuch <5620> that Barnabas <921> also <2532> was carried away <4879> (5681) with their <846> dissimulation <5272>.
14  But <235> when <3753> I saw <1492> (5627) that <3754> they walked <3716> <0> not <3756> uprightly <3716> (5719) according to <4314> the truth <225> of the gospel <2098>, I said <2036> (5627) unto Peter <4074> before <1715> them all <3956>, If <1487> thou <4771>, being <5225> (5723) a Jew <2453>, livest <2198> (5719) after the manner of Gentiles <1483>, and <2532> not <3756> as do the Jews <2452>, why <5101> compellest thou <315> (5719) the Gentiles <1484> to live as do the Jews <2450> (5721)?
15  We <2249> who are Jews <2453> by nature <5449>, and <2532> not <3756> sinners <268> of <1537> the Gentiles <1484>,
16  Knowing <1492> (5761) that <3754> a man <444> is <1344> <0> not <3756> justified <1344> (5743) by <1537> the works <2041> of the law <3551>, but <3362> by <1223> the faith <4102> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, even <2532> we <2249> have believed <4100> (5656) in <1519> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, that <2443> we might be justified <1344> (5686) by <1537> the faith <4102> of Christ <5547>, and <2532> not <3756> by <1537> the works <2041> of the law <3551>: for <1360> by <1537> the works <2041> of the law <3551> shall <1344> <0> no <3756> <3956> flesh <4561> be justified <1344> (5701).
17  But <1161> if <1487>, while we seek <2212> (5723) to be justified <1344> (5683) by <1722> Christ <5547>, we <2147> <0> ourselves <846> also <2532> are found <2147> (5681) sinners <268>, is therefore <687> Christ <5547> the minister <1249> of sin <266>? God forbid <3361> <1096> (5636).
18  For <1063> if <1487> I build <3618> (5719) again <3825> the things <5023> which <3739> I destroyed <2647> (5656), I make <4921> (5719) myself <1683> a transgressor <3848>.
19  For <1063> I <1473> through <1223> the law <3551> am dead <599> (5627) to the law <3551>, that <2443> I might live <2198> (5661) unto God <2316>.
20  I am crucified <4957> (5769) with Christ <5547>: nevertheless <1161> I live <2198> (5719); yet <2089> not <3765> I <1473>, but <1161> Christ <5547> liveth <2198> (5719) in <1722> me <1698>: and <1161> the life which <3739> I <2198> <0> now <3568> live <2198> (5719) in <1722> the flesh <4561> I live <2198> (5719) by <1722> the faith <4102> of the Son <5207> of God <2316>, who <3588> loved <25> (5660) me <3165>, and <2532> gave <3860> (5631) himself <1438> for <5228> me <1700>.
21  I do <114> <0> not <3756> frustrate <114> (5719) the grace <5485> of God <2316>: for <1063> if <1487> righteousness <1343> come by <1223> the law <3551>, then <686> Christ <5547> is dead <599> (5627) in vain <1432>.
1  O <5599> foolish <453> Galatians <1052>, who <5101> hath bewitched <940> (5656) you <5209>, that ye should <3982> <0> not <3361> obey <3982> (5745) the truth <225>, before <2596> whose <3739> eyes <3788> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> hath been evidently set forth <4270> (5648), crucified <4717> (5772) among <1722> you <5213>?
2  This <5124> only <3440> would <2309> (5719) I learn <3129> (5629) of <575> you <5216>, Received ye <2983> (5627) the Spirit <4151> by <1537> the works <2041> of the law <3551>, or <2228> by <1537> the hearing <189> of faith <4102>?
3  Are ye <2075> (5748) so <3779> foolish <453>? having begun <1728> (5666) in the Spirit <4151>, are ye <2005> <0> now <3568> made perfect <2005> (5727) by the flesh <4561>?
4  Have ye suffered <3958> (5627) so many things <5118> in vain <1500>? if it be yet <1489> <2532> in vain <1500>.
5  He therefore <3767> that ministereth <2023> (5723) to you <5213> the Spirit <4151>, and <2532> worketh <1754> (5723) miracles <1411> among <1722> you <5213>, doeth he it by <1537> the works <2041> of the law <3551>, or <2228> by <1537> the hearing <189> of faith <4102>?
6  Even as <2531> Abraham <11> believed <4100> (5656) God <2316>, and <2532> it was accounted <3049> (5681) to him <846> for <1519> righteousness <1343>.
7  Know ye <1097> (5719) (5720) therefore <686> that <3754> they which are of <1537> faith <4102>, the same <3778> are <1526> (5748) the children <5207> of Abraham <11>.
8  And <1161> the scripture <1124>, foreseeing <4275> (5631) that <3754> God <2316> would justify <1344> (5719) the heathen <1484> through <1537> faith <4102>, preached before the gospel <4283> (5662) unto Abraham <11>, saying, <3754> In <1722> thee <4671> shall <1757> <0> all <3956> nations <1484> be blessed <1757> (5701).
9  So then <5620> they which be of <1537> faith <4102> are blessed <2127> (5743) with <4862> faithful <4103> Abraham <11>.
10  For <1063> as many as <3745> are <1526> (5748) of <1537> the works <2041> of the law <3551> are <1526> (5748) under <5259> the curse <2671>: for <1063> it is written <1125> (5769), Cursed <1944> is every one <3956> that <3739> continueth <1696> (5719) not <3756> in <1722> all things <3956> which <3588> are written <1125> (5772) in <1722> the book <975> of the law <3551> to do <4160> (5658) them <846>.
11  But <1161> that <3754> no man <3762> is justified <1344> (5743) by <1722> the law <3551> in the sight <3844> of God <2316>, it is evident <1212>: for <3754>, The just <1342> shall live <2198> (5695) by <1537> faith <4102>.
12  And <1161> the law <3551> is <2076> (5748) not <3756> of <1537> faith <4102>: but <235>, The man <444> that doeth <4160> (5660) them <846> shall live <2198> (5695) in <1722> them <846>.
13  Christ <5547> hath redeemed <1805> (5656) us <2248> from <1537> the curse <2671> of the law <3551>, being made <1096> (5637) a curse <2671> for <5228> us <2257>: for <1063> it is written <1125> (5769), Cursed <1944> is every one <3956> that hangeth <2910> (5734) on <1909> a tree <3586>:
14  That <2443> the blessing <2129> of Abraham <11> might come <1096> (5638) on <1519> the Gentiles <1484> through <1722> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>; that <2443> we might receive <2983> (5632) the promise <1860> of the Spirit <4151> through <1223> faith <4102>.
15  Brethren <80>, I speak <3004> (5719) after the manner of <2596> men <444>; Though it be but <3676> a man's <444> covenant <1242>, yet if it be confirmed <2964> (5772), no man <3762> disannulleth <114> (5719), or <2228> addeth thereto <1928> (5736).
16  Now <1161> to Abraham <11> and <2532> his <846> seed <4690> were <4483> <0> the promises <1860> made <4483> (5681). He saith <3004> (5719) not <3756>, And <2532> to seeds <4690>, as <5613> of <1909> many <4183>; but <235> as <5613> of <1909> one <1520>, And <2532> to thy <4675> seed <4690>, which <3739> is <2076> (5748) Christ <5547>.
17  And <1161> this <5124> I say <3004> (5719), that the covenant <1242>, that was confirmed before <4300> (5772) of <5259> God <2316> in <1519> Christ <5547>, the law <3551>, which was <1096> (5756) four hundred <5071> and <2532> thirty <5144> years <2094> after <3326>, cannot <3756> disannul <208> (5719), that <1519> it should make <2673> <0> the promise <1860> of none effect <2673> (5658).
18  For <1063> if <1487> the inheritance <2817> be of <1537> the law <3551>, it is no more <2089> <3765> of <1537> promise <1860>: but <1161> God <2316> gave <5483> (5766) it to Abraham <11> by <1223> promise <1860>.
19  Wherefore <5101> then <3767> serveth the law <3551>? It was added <4369> (5681) because of <5484> transgressions <3847>, till <891> the seed <4690> should come <2064> (5632) to whom <3739> the promise was made <1861> (5766); and it was ordained <1299> (5651) by <1223> angels <32> in <1722> the hand <5495> of a mediator <3316>.
20  Now <1161> a mediator <3316> is <2076> (5748) not <3756> a mediator of one <1520>, but <1161> God <2316> is <2076> (5748) one <1520>.
21  Is the law <3551> then <3767> against <2596> the promises <1860> of God <2316>? God forbid <3361> <1096> (5636): for <1063> if <1487> there had been <1325> <0> a law <3551> given <1325> (5681) which <3588> could <1410> (5740) have given life <2227> (5658), verily <3689> righteousness <1343> should <302> have been <2258> (5713) by <1537> the law <3551>.
22  But <235> the scripture <1124> hath concluded <4788> (5656) all <3956> under <5259> sin <266>, that <2443> the promise <1860> by <1537> faith <4102> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> might be given <1325> (5686) to them that believe <4100> (5723).
23  But <1161> before <4253> faith <4102> came <2064> (5629), we were kept <5432> (5712) under <5259> the law <3551>, shut up <4788> (5772) unto <1519> the faith <4102> which should afterwards <3195> (5723) be revealed <601> (5683).
24  Wherefore <5620> the law <3551> was <1096> (5754) our <2257> schoolmaster <3807> to bring us unto <1519> Christ <5547>, that <2443> we might be justified <1344> (5686) by <1537> faith <4102>.
25  But <1161> after that faith <4102> is come <2064> (5631), we are <2070> (5748) no longer <2089> <3765> under <5259> a schoolmaster <3807>.
26  For <1063> ye are <2075> (5748) all <3956> the children <5207> of God <2316> by <1223> faith <4102> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
27  For <1063> as many of you as <3745> have been baptized <907> (5681) into <1519> Christ <5547> have put on <1746> (5668) Christ <5547>.
28  There is <1762> (5748) neither <3756> Jew <2453> nor <3761> Greek <1672>, there is <1762> (5748) neither <3756> bond <1401> nor <3761> free <1658>, there is <1762> (5748) neither <3756> male <730> nor <2532> female <2338>: for <1063> ye <5210> are <2075> (5748) all <3956> one <1520> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
29  And <1161> if <1487> ye <5210> be Christ's <5547>, then <686> are ye <2075> (5748) Abraham's <11> seed <4690>, and <2532> heirs <2818> according <2596> to the promise <1860>.
1  Now <1161> I say <3004> (5719), That the heir <2818>, as long as <1909> <3745> <5550> he is <2076> (5748) a child <3516>, differeth <1308> (5719) nothing <3762> from a servant <1401>, though he be <5607> (5752) lord <2962> of all <3956>;
2  But <235> is <2076> (5748) under <5259> tutors <2012> and <2532> governors <3623> until <891> the time appointed <4287> of the father <3962>.
3  Even <2532> so <3779> we <2249>, when <3753> we were <2258> (5713) children <3516>, were <2258> (5713) in bondage <1402> (5772) under <5259> the elements <4747> of the world <2889>:
4  But <1161> when <3753> the fulness <4138> of the time <5550> was come <2064> (5627), God <2316> sent forth <1821> (5656) his <848> Son <5207>, made <1096> (5637) of <1537> a woman <1135>, made <1096> (5637) under <5259> the law <3551>,
5  To <2443> redeem <1805> (5661) them that were under <5259> the law <3551>, that <2443> we might receive <618> (5632) the adoption of sons <5206>.
6  And <1161> because <3754> ye are <2075> (5748) sons <5207>, God <2316> hath sent forth <1821> (5656) the Spirit <4151> of his <848> Son <5207> into <1519> your <5216> hearts <2588>, crying <2896> (5723), Abba <5>, Father <3962>.
7  Wherefore <5620> thou art <1488> (5748) no more <2089> <3765> a servant <1401>, but <235> a son <5207>; and <1161> if <1487> a son <5207>, then <2532> an heir <2818> of God <2316> through <1223> Christ <5547>.
8  Howbeit <235> then <5119> <3303>, when ye knew <1492> (5761) not <3756> God <2316>, ye did service <1398> (5656) unto them which by nature <5449> are <5607> (5752) no <3361> gods <2316>.
9  But <1161> now <3568>, after that ye have known <1097> (5631) God <2316>, or <1161> rather <3123> are known <1097> (5685) of <5259> God <2316>, how <4459> turn ye <1994> (5719) again <3825> to <1909> the weak <772> and <2532> beggarly <4434> elements <4747>, whereunto <3739> ye desire <2309> (5719) again <3825> <509> to be in bondage <1398> (5721)?
10  Ye observe <3906> (5731) days <2250>, and <2532> months <3376>, and <2532> times <2540>, and <2532> years <1763>.
11  I am afraid <5399> (5736) of you <5209>, lest <3381> <4458> I have bestowed <2872> <0> upon <1519> you <5209> labour <2872> (5758) in vain <1500>.
12  Brethren <80>, I beseech <1189> (5736) you <5216>, be <1096> (5737) as <5613> I <1473> am; for <3754> I <2504> am as <5613> ye <5210> are: ye have not injured <91> (5656) me <3165> at all <3762>.
13  <1161> Ye know <1492> (5758) how <3754> through <1223> infirmity <769> of the flesh <4561> I preached the gospel <2097> (5668) unto you <5213> at the first <4386>.
14  And <2532> my <3450> temptation <3986> which was in <1722> my <3450> flesh <4561> ye despised <1848> (5656) not <3756>, nor <3761> rejected <1609> (5656); but <235> received <1209> (5662) me <3165> as <5613> an angel <32> of God <2316>, even as <5613> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
15  Where <5101> is <2258> (5713) then <3767> the blessedness <3108> ye <5216> spake of? for <1063> I bear <3140> <0> you <5213> record <3140> (5719), that <3754>, if <1487> it had been possible <1415>, ye would have plucked out <1846> (5660) your <5216> own eyes <3788>, and have given them <302> <1325> (5656) to me <3427>.
16  Am I <1096> <0> therefore <5620> become <1096> (5754) your <5216> enemy <2190>, because I tell <226> <0> you <5213> the truth <226> (5723)?
17  They zealously affect <2206> (5719) you <5209>, but not <3756> well <2573>; yea <235>, they would <2309> (5719) exclude <1576> (5658) you <5209>, that <2443> ye might affect <2206> (5725) them <846>.
18  But <1161> it is good <2570> to be zealously affected <2206> (5745) always <3842> in <1722> a good <2570> thing, and <2532> not <3361> only <3440> when <1722> I <3165> am present <3918> (5750) with <4314> you <5209>.
19  My <3450> little children <5040>, of whom <3739> I travail in birth <5605> (5719) again <3825> until <891> Christ <5547> be formed <3445> (5686) in <1722> you <5213>,
20  <1161> I desire <2309> (5707) to be present <3918> (5750) with <4314> you <5209> now <737>, and <2532> to change <236> (5658) my <3450> voice <5456>; for <3754> I stand in doubt <639> (5731) of <1722> you <5213>.
21  Tell <3004> (5720) me <3427>, ye that desire <2309> (5723) to be <1511> (5750) under <5259> the law <3551>, do ye <191> <0> not <3756> hear <191> (5719) the law <3551>?
22  For <1063> it is written <1125> (5769), that <3754> Abraham <11> had <2192> (5627) two <1417> sons <5207>, the one <1520> by <1537> a bondmaid <3814>, <2532> the other <1520> by <1537> a freewoman <1658>.
23  But <235> he <3303> who was of <1537> the bondwoman <3814> was born <1080> (5769) after <2596> the flesh <4561>; but <1161> he of <1537> the freewoman <1658> was by <1223> promise <1860>.
24  Which things <3748> are <2076> (5748) an allegory <238> (5746): for <1063> these <3778> are <1526> (5748) the two <1417> covenants <1242>; the one <3391> <3303> from <575> the mount <3735> Sinai <4614>, which gendereth <1080> (5723) to <1519> bondage <1397>, which <3748> is <2076> (5748) Agar <28>.
25  For <1063> this Agar <28> is <2076> (5748) mount <3735> Sinai <4614> in <1722> Arabia <688>, and <1161> answereth <4960> (5719) to Jerusalem <2419> which <3588> now is <3568>, and <1161> is in bondage <1398> (5719) with <3326> her <848> children <5043>.
26  But <1161> Jerusalem <2419> which is above <507> is <2076> (5748) free <1658>, which <3748> is <2076> (5748) the mother <3384> of us <2257> all <3956>.
27  For <1063> it is written <1125> (5769), Rejoice <2165> (5682), thou barren <4723> that bearest <5088> (5723) not <3756>; break forth <4486> (5657) and <2532> cry <994> (5657), thou that travailest <5605> (5723) not <3756>: for <3754> the desolate <2048> hath many more <4183> children <5043> than <3123> <2228> she which hath <2192> (5723) an husband <435>.
28  Now <1161> we <2249>, brethren <80>, as <2596> <0> Isaac <2464> was <2596>, are <2070> (5748) the children <5043> of promise <1860>.
29  But <235> as <5618> then <5119> he that was born <1080> (5685) after <2596> the flesh <4561> persecuted <1377> (5707) him that was born after <2596> the Spirit <4151>, even <2532> so <3779> it is now <3568>.
30  Nevertheless <235> what <5101> saith <3004> (5719) the scripture <1124>? Cast out <1544> (5628) the bondwoman <3814> and <2532> her <846> son <5207>: for <1063> the son <5207> of the bondwoman <3814> shall <2816> <0> not <3364> be heir <2816> (5661) with <3326> the son <5207> of the freewoman <1658>.
31  So then <686>, brethren <80>, we are <2070> (5748) not <3756> children <5043> of the bondwoman <3814>, but <235> of the free <1658>.
1  Stand fast <4739> (5720) therefore <3767> in the liberty <1657> wherewith <3739> Christ <5547> hath made <1659> <0> us <2248> free <1659> (5656), and <2532> be <1758> <0> not <3361> entangled <1758> (5744) again <3825> with the yoke <2218> of bondage <1397>.
2  Behold <2396> (5657), I <1473> Paul <3972> say <3004> (5719) unto you <5213>, that <3754> if <1437> ye be circumcised <4059> (5747), Christ <5547> shall profit <5623> (5692) you <5209> nothing <3762>.
3  For <1161> I testify <3143> (5736) again <3825> to every <3956> man <444> that is circumcised <4059> (5746), that <3754> he is <2076> (5748) a debtor <3781> to do <4160> (5658) the whole <3650> law <3551>.
4  Christ <5547> is become of no effect unto you <575> <2673> (5681), whosoever of you <3748> are justified <1344> (5743) by <1722> the law <3551>; ye are fallen from <1601> (5656) grace <5485>.
5  For <1063> we <2249> through the Spirit <4151> wait for <553> (5736) the hope <1680> of righteousness <1343> by <1537> faith <4102>.
6  For <1063> in <1722> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> neither <3777> circumcision <4061> availeth <2480> (5719) any thing <5100>, nor <3777> uncircumcision <203>; but <235> faith <4102> which worketh <1754> (5734) by <1223> love <26>.
7  Ye did run <5143> (5707) well <2573>; who <5101> did hinder <348> (5656) (5625) <1465> you <5209> that ye should <3982> <0> not <3361> obey <3982> (5745) the truth <225>?
8  This persuasion <3988> cometh not <3756> of <1537> him that calleth <2564> (5723) you <5209>.
9  A little <3398> leaven <2219> leaveneth <2220> (5719) the whole <3650> lump <5445>.
10  I <1473> have confidence <3982> (5754) in <1519> you <5209> through <1722> the Lord <2962>, that <3754> ye will be <5426> <0> none <3762> otherwise <243> minded <5426> (5692): but <1161> he that troubleth <5015> (5723) you <5209> shall bear <941> (5692) his judgment <2917>, whosoever <3748> he be <302> <5600> (5753).
11  And <1161> I <1473>, brethren <80>, if <1487> I <2784> <0> yet <2089> preach <2784> (5719) circumcision <4061>, why <5101> do I <1377> <0> yet <2089> suffer persecution <1377> (5743)? then <686> is <2673> <0> the offence <4625> of the cross <4716> ceased <2673> (5769).
12  I would <3785> they were <609> <0> even <2532> cut off <609> (5698) which trouble <387> (5723) you <5209>.
13  For <1063>, brethren <80>, ye <5210> have been called <2564> (5681) unto <1909> liberty <1657>; only <3440> use not <3361> liberty <1657> for <1519> an occasion <874> to the flesh <4561>, but <235> by <1223> love <26> serve <1398> (5720) one another <240>.
14  For <1063> all <3956> the law <3551> is fulfilled <4137> (5743) in <1722> one <1520> word <3056>, even in <1722> this; Thou shalt love <25> (5692) thy <4675> neighbour <4139> as <5613> thyself <1438>.
15  But <1161> if <1487> ye bite <1143> (5719) and <2532> devour <2719> (5719) one another <240>, take heed <991> (5720) that ye be <335> <0> not <3361> consumed <355> (5686) one <240> <0> of <5259> another <240>.
16  This I say <3004> (5719) then <1161>, Walk <4043> (5720) in the Spirit <4151>, and <2532> ye shall <5055> <0> not <3364> fulfil <5055> (5661) the lust <1939> of the flesh <4561>.
17  For <1063> the flesh <4561> lusteth <1937> (5719) against <2596> the Spirit <4151>, and <1161> the Spirit <4151> against <2596> the flesh <4561>: and <1161> these <5023> are contrary <480> (5736) the one to the other <240>: so that <2443> ye cannot <3363> do <4160> (5725) the things <5023> that ye would <302> <2309> (5725).
18  But <1161> if <1487> ye be led <71> (5743) of the Spirit <4151>, ye are <2075> (5748) not <3756> under <5259> the law <3551>.
19  Now <1161> the works <2041> of the flesh <4561> are <2076> (5748) manifest <5318>, which <3748> are <2076> (5748) these; Adultery <3430>, fornication <4202>, uncleanness <167>, lasciviousness <766>,
20  Idolatry <1495>, witchcraft <5331>, hatred <2189>, variance <2054>, emulations <2205>, wrath <2372>, strife <2052>, seditions <1370>, heresies <139>,
21  Envyings <5355>, murders <5408>, drunkenness <3178>, revellings <2970>, and <2532> such <5125> like <3664>: of the which <3739> I tell <4302> <0> you <5213> before <4302> (5719), as <2531> I have <4277> <0> also <2532> told you in time past <4277> (5627), that <3754> they which do <4238> (5723) such things <5108> shall <2816> <0> not <3756> inherit <2816> (5692) the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.
22  But <1161> the fruit <2590> of the Spirit <4151> is <2076> (5748) love <26>, joy <5479>, peace <1515>, longsuffering <3115>, gentleness <5544>, goodness <19>, faith <4102>,
23  Meekness <4236>, temperance <1466>: against <2596> such <5108> there is <2076> (5748) no <3756> law <3551>.
24  And <1161> they that are <3588> Christ's <5547> have crucified <4717> (5656) the flesh <4561> with <4862> the affections <3804> and <2532> lusts <1939>.
25  If <1487> we live <2198> (5719) in the Spirit <4151>, let us <4748> <0> also <2532> walk <4748> (5725) in the Spirit <4151>.
26  Let us <1096> <0> not <3361> be <1096> (5741) desirous of vain glory <2755>, provoking <4292> (5734) one another <240>, envying <5354> (5723) one another <240>.
1  Brethren <80>, if <1437> <2532> a man <444> be overtaken <4301> (5686) in <1722> a <5100> fault <3900>, ye <5210> which <3588> are spiritual <4152>, restore <2675> (5720) such an one <5108> in <1722> the spirit <4151> of meekness <4236>; considering <4648> (5723) thyself <4572>, lest <3361> thou <4771> also <2532> be tempted <3985> (5686).
2  Bear ye <941> (5720) one another's <240> burdens <922>, and <2532> so <3779> fulfil <378> (5657) the law <3551> of Christ <5547>.
3  For <1063> if a man <1536> think himself <1380> (5719) to be <1511> (5750) something <5100>, when he is <5607> (5752) nothing <3367>, he deceiveth <5422> (5719) himself <1438>.
4  But <1161> let <1381> <0> every man <1538> prove <1381> (5720) his own <1438> work <2041>, and <2532> then <5119> shall he have <2192> (5692) rejoicing <2745> in <1519> himself <1438> alone <3441>, and <2532> not <3756> in <1519> another <2087>.
5  For <1063> every man <1538> shall bear <941> (5692) his own <2398> burden <5413>.
6  Let <1161> him that is taught <2727> (5746) in the word <3056> communicate <2841> (5720) unto him that teacheth <2727> (5723) in <1722> all <3956> good things <18>.
7  Be <4105> <0> not <3361> deceived <4105> (5744); God <2316> is <3456> <0> not <3756> mocked <3456> (5743): for <1063> whatsoever <1437> a man <444> soweth <4687> (5725), that <5124> shall he <2325> <0> also <2532> reap <2325> (5692).
8  For <3754> he that soweth <4687> (5723) to <1519> his <1438> flesh <4561> shall <2325> <0> of <1537> the flesh <4561> reap <2325> (5692) corruption <5356>; but <1161> he that soweth <4687> (5723) to <1519> the Spirit <4151> shall <2325> <0> of <1537> the Spirit <4151> reap <2325> (5692) life <2222> everlasting <166>.
9  And <1161> let us <1573> <0> not <3361> be weary <1573> (5725) in well <2570> doing <4160> (5723): for <1063> in due <2398> season <2540> we shall reap <2325> (5692), if we faint <1590> (5746) not <3361>.
10  As <5613> we have <2192> (5719) therefore <686> <3767> opportunity <2540>, let us do <2038> (5741) good <18> unto <4314> all <3956> men, especially <1161> <3122> unto <4314> them who are of the household <3609> of faith <4102>.
11  Ye see <1492> (5628) how large <4080> a letter <1121> I have written <1125> (5656) unto you <5213> with mine own <1699> hand <5495>.
12  As many as <3745> desire <2309> (5719) to make a fair shew <2146> (5658) in <1722> the flesh <4561>, they <3778> constrain <315> (5719) you <5209> to be circumcised <4059> (5745); only <3440> lest <3363> they should suffer persecution <1377> (5747) for the cross <4716> of Christ <5547>.
13  For <1063> neither <3761> they themselves <846> who are circumcised <4059> (5746) keep <5442> (5719) the law <3551>; but <235> desire <2309> (5719) to have <4059> <0> you <5209> circumcised <4059> (5745), that <2443> they may glory <2744> (5667) in <1722> your <5212> flesh <4561>.
14  But <1161> God forbid <3361> <1096> (5636) that I <1698> should glory <2744> (5738), save <1508> in <1722> the cross <4716> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, by <1223> whom <3739> the world <2889> is crucified <4717> (5769) unto me <1698>, and I <2504> unto the world <2889>.
15  For <1063> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> neither <3777> circumcision <4061> availeth <2480> (5719) any thing <5100>, nor <3777> uncircumcision <203>, but <235> a new <2537> creature <2937>.
16  And <2532> as many as <3745> walk <4748> (5692) according to <2583> <0> this <5129> rule <2583>, peace <1515> be on <1909> them <846>, and <2532> mercy <1656>, and <2532> upon <1909> the Israel <2474> of God <2316>.
17  From henceforth <3064> let <3930> <0> no man <3367> trouble <3930> (5720) me <2873> <3427>: for <1063> I <1473> bear <941> (5719) in <1722> my <3450> body <4983> the marks <4742> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>.
18  Brethren <80>, the grace <5485> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> be with <3326> your <5216> spirit <4151>. Amen <281>. <<To <4314> the Galatians <1052> written <1125> (5648) from <575> Rome <4516>.>>
