Nowe the things which I write vnto you, beholde, I witnes before God, that I lie not.

And they glorified God for me.

But by them which seemed to be great, I was not taught (whatsoeuer they were in time passed, I am nothing the better: God accepteth no mans person) for they that are the chiefe, did adde nothing to me aboue that I had.

If then while we seeke to be made righteous by Christ, we our selues are found sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sinne? God forbid.

For I through the Lawe am dead to the Lawe, that I might liue vnto God.

I am crucified with Christ, but I liue, yet not I any more, but Christ liueth in me: and in that that I now liue in the flesh, I liue by the faith in the Sonne of God, who hath loued me, and giuen him selfe for me.

I doe not abrogate the grace of God: for if righteousnes be by the Lawe, then Christ dyed without a cause.

Yea rather as Abraham beleeued God, and it was imputed to him for righteousnes.

Nowe a Mediatour is not a Mediatour of one: but God is one.

Is the Lawe then against the promises of God? God forbid: For if there had bene a Lawe giuen which coulde haue giuen life, surely righteousnes should haue bene by the Lawe.

For ye are al the sonnes of God by faith, in Christ Iesus.

But when the fulnesse of time was come, God sent forth his Sonne made of a woman, and made vnder the Lawe,

And because ye are sonnes, God hath sent foorth the Spirit of his Sonne into your heartes, which crieth, Abba, Father.

Wherefore, thou art no more a seruant, but a sonne: now if thou be a sone, thou art also the heire of God through Christ.

But euen then, when ye knewe not God, yee did seruice vnto them, which by nature are not gods:

But now seeing ye knowe God, yea, rather are knowen of God, howe turne ye againe vnto impotent and beggerly rudiments, whereunto as from the beginning ye wil be in bondage againe?
