I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

But ye have not so learned Christ;

If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;

According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.

Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
