But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, a curse be on him!

For I did not receive it from a human source and I was not taught it, but it came by a revelation of Jesus Christ.

But when God, who from my mother’s womb set me apart and called me by his grace, was pleased

But I didn’t see any of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.

I went up according to a revelation and presented to them the gospel I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those recognized as leaders. I wanted to be sure I was not running, and had not been running, in vain.

But not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.

But we did not give up and submit to these people for even a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would be preserved for you.

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he stood condemned.

But when I saw that they were deviating from the truth of the gospel, I told Cephas in front of everyone, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel Gentiles to live like Jews?”

and yet because we know that a person is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we ourselves have believed in Christ Jesus. This was so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.

But if we ourselves are also found to be “sinners” while seeking to be justified by Christ, is Christ then a promoter of sin? Absolutely not!

I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

But the law is not based on faith; instead, the one who does these things will live by them.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say “and to seeds,” as though referring to many, but referring to one, and to your seed, who is Christ.

For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on the promise; but God has graciously given it to Abraham through the promise.

Now a mediator is not just for one person alone, but God is one.

But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin’s power, so that the promise might be given on the basis of faith in Jesus Christ to those who believe.

But since that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,

So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then God has made you an heir.

But in the past, since you didn’t know God, you were enslaved to things that by nature are not gods.
