But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,

So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elements, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?

but you know that because of weakness of the flesh I preached the gospel to you the first time.

That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn't despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.

but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.

But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

So then, brothers, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the free woman.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling-block of the cross has been removed.

For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don't consume one another.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

But let each man test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.
