who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

I marvel that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ for a different gospel,

As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is proclaiming to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be accursed!

to reveal His Son in me so that I might proclaim Him as good news among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,

And I went up because of a revelation, and I laid out to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, lest somehow I might be running, or had run, in vain.

But we did not yield in subjection to them for even a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.

and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.

For through the Law I died to the Law, so that I might live to God.

Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

Did you suffer so many things for nothing—if indeed it was for nothing?

So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

so know that those who are of faith, those are sons of Abraham.

So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.

in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

And what I am saying is this: the Law, which came 430 years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to abolish the promise.

But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

Therefore the Law has become our tutor unto Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.

So also we, while we were children, were enslaved under the elemental things of the world.

so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
