For if the inheritance be of the Lawe, it is no more by the promise, but God gaue it freely vnto Abraham by promise.

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.

For all ye that are baptized into Christ, haue put on Christ.

There is neither Iewe nor Grecian: there is neither bonde nor free: there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Iesus.

Be ye as I (for I am euen as you) brethren, I beseech you: ye haue not hurt me at all.

What was then your felicitie? for I beare you recorde, that if it had bene possible, ye would haue plucked out your owne eyes, and haue giuen them vnto me.

And I would I were with you nowe, that I might change my voyce: for I am in doubt of you.

For it is written, that Abraham had two sonnes, one by a seruant, and one by a free woman.

By the which things another thing is ment: for these mothers are the two testaments, the one which is Agar of mount Sina, which gendreth vnto bondage.

(For Agar or Sina is a mountaine in Arabia, and it answereth to Hierusalem which nowe is) and she is in bondage with her children.

For it is written, Reioyce thou barren that bearest no children: breake forth, & cry, thou that trauailest not: for the desolate hath many moe children, then she which hath an husband.

But what sayth the Scripture? Put out the seruant and her sonne: for the sonne of the seruant shall not be heire with the sonne of the free woman.

For I testifie againe to euery man, which is circumcised, that he is bound to keepe the whole Lawe.

For we through the Spirit waite for the hope of righteousnes through faith.

For in Iesus Christ neither circumcision auaileth any thing, neither vncircumcision, but faith which worketh by loue.

For brethren, ye haue bene called vnto libertie: onely vse not your libertie as an occasion vnto the flesh, but by loue serue one another.

For all the Lawe is fulfilled in one worde, which is this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary one to another, so that ye can not doe the same things that ye would.

For they that are Christes, haue crucified the flesh with the affections and the lustes.
