But because of the false brethren who had been brought in unknown to us to spy out the freedom which we have in Jesus Christ, with the intention of enslaving us;

But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was entrusted to me, as the gospel of the circumcision was entrusted to Peter,

But when Cephas came to An''ti-och, I reproved him to his face, because he was to be blamed.

For before certain men came from James, Cephas ate with the Gentiles: but after they came, he withdrew and separated himself, because he was afraid of them who belonged to the circumcision.

Now a mediator does not represent one alone, but God is one.

But the scripture has included everything under sin, that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
