For am I, even now, persuading, men, or God? Or am I seeking to please, men? If I had been still pleasing, men, Christ's servant, had I not been!

For I make known unto you, brethren, as to the glad-message which was announced by me, that it is not after man;

For neither, from man, did I accept it, nor was taught it , - but through a revealing of Jesus Christ.

For ye have heard, as to my own manner of life, at one time, in Judaism, how that, exceedingly, was I persecuting the assembly of God, and laying it waste,

Unto whom, not even for an hour, gave we place by the required submission, - in order that, the truth of the glad-message, might still abide with you.

For, he that energised in Peter, into an apostleship to the circumcision, energised also in me, for the nations, -

For, before that certain came from James, with them of the nations, used he to eat; whereas, when they came, he used to withdraw, and keep himself separate, fearing them of the circumcision;

For, if, the things that I pulled down, these, again, I build, a transgressor, I prove, myself, to be.

For, I, through means of law, unto law, died, that, unto God, I might live: -

I do not set aside the favour of God; for, if, through law, is righteousness, then, Christ, without cause, died.

For, as many as are of works of law, are, under a curse, - for it is written - Accursed, is everyone that continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them.

For, if, by law, is the inheritance, it is, no longer, by promise; but, unto Abraham, through promise, hath God favoured it.

Is, the law, then, against the promises of God? Far be it! For, if a law had been given, which had been able to give life, verily, in law, would have been our righteousness;

So that, the law, hath proved, our tutor, training us, for Christ, in order that, by faith, we might be declared righteous;

For ye, all, are, sons of God, through the faith in Christ Jesus;

For ye, as many as, into Christ, have been immersed, have put Christ, on:

There cannot be Jew or Greek, there cannot be bond or free, there cannot be male and female, for, all ye, are one, in Christ Jesus:

But I say: - for as long a time as, the heir, is an infant, he differeth, nothing, from a servant, though, lord of all,

I am afraid of you - lest by any means, in vain, I should have toiled for you!

Where, then, is the happiness ye accounted yours? For I bear you witness - that, if possible, your eyes, ye would have dug out, and given unto me.
