For the flesh craves that which is harmful to the Spirit, and the Spirit opposes the things of the flesh: and the two are contrary to one another, so that you are unable to do whatever you please.

For the works of the flesh are well-known, which are these: adultery, impurity, and lasciviousness,

For if man thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

For every man shall bear his own burden.

Do not be deceived; God is not deceived: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.

Let us not be weary in welldoing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Those who desire to boast in the things of the flesh, are the ones who compel you to be circumcised only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

For not even they who are circumcised obey the law; but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast over your flesh.

But as for me, I have nothing on which to boast, except the cross of our LORD Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me and I am crucified unto the world.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision is anything, nor uncircumcision, but it is a new creation that counts.

From henceforth let no man trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of our LORD Jesus Christ.

In whom, you also have heard the word of truth, which is the gospel for your salvation: in him you have believed, so you are sealed with the Holy Spirit that was promised,

Which is the pledge of our inheritance, for the salvation of those who are saved, and for the glory of his honour.

Never cease to give thanks for your sakes and to mention you in my prayers;

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

For it is by grace that you are saved through faith; not of your doing: it is the gift of God:

For we are his creation, created through Jesus Christ ultimately for good works, which God has before ordained that we should live in them.

For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the fence of separation between them;

You also are builded by him for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

FOR this cause I, Paul, am a prisoner of Jesus Christ for the sake of you Gentiles.
