{\MT Paul’s Letter to the Galatians

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul,
an
Apostle (not
from
men,
and
not
through
man,
but
through
Jesus
Christ,
and
God
the
Father,
who made
him
come back
from
the
dead),
\VS{2}And
all
the
brothers
who
are
with
me,
to
the
churches
of
Galatia:
\VS{3}Grace
to
you
and
peace
from
God
the
Father
and
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
\VS{4}Who
gave
himself
for
our
sins,
so
that
he
might
make
us free
from
this
present
evil
world,
after
the purpose
of
our
God
and
Father:
\VS{5}To
whom be
the
glory
for
ever
and
ever.
So be
it.
\VS{6}I
am
surprised
that
you
are
being
so
quickly turned
away
from
him whose word came
to
you
in
the
grace
of
Christ,
to
good
news
of
a
different sort;
\VS{7}Which
is
not
another sort:
only
there
are
some
who give
you trouble,
desiring
to
make changes
in
the
good
news
of
Christ.
\VS{8}But
even
if
we,
or
an
angel
from
heaven,
were
to
be
a preacher
to
you
of
good
news
other
than
that
which
we
have
given
you,
let
there
be
a curse
on
him.
\VS{9}As
we
have
said
before,
so
say
I
now
again,
If
any
man
is
a preacher
to
you
of
any
good
news
other
than
that
which
has
been
given
to
you,
let
there
be
a curse
on
him.
\VS{10}Am
I
now using arguments
to
men,
or
God?
or
is
it
my desire
to give
men pleasure?
if
I
was
still
pleasing
men,
I
would
not
be
a
servant
of
Christ.
\VS{11}Because
I
say
to
you,
my
brothers,
that
the
good
news
of
which
I
was
the preacher
is
not man's.
\VS{12}For
I
did
not get
it
from
man,
and
I
was
not given
teaching
in
it,
but
it
came
to
me
through
revelation
of
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{13}For news
has
come
to
you
of
my
way
of
life
in
the past
in
the Jews' religion,
how
I
was cruel
without
measure
to
the
church
of
God,
and
did great damage
to
it:
\VS{14}And
I went farther
in
the Jews' religion
than
a
number
of
my generation
among
my
countrymen, having
a
more burning interest
in
the beliefs handed down
from
my fathers.
\VS{15}But
when
it
was
the
good
pleasure
of
God,
by
whom
I
was marked
out
even
from
my mother's body,
through
his
grace,
\VS{16}To give
the
revelation
of
his
Son
in
me,
so
that
I
might give
the
news
of
him
to
the
Gentiles;
then
I
did
not take
the opinion
of
flesh
and
blood,
\VS{17}And
I
went
not
up
to
Jerusalem
to
those
who
were
Apostles
before
me;
but
I
went
away
into
Arabia,
and
again
I
came
back
to
Damascus.
\VS{18}Then
after
three
years
I
went
up
to
Jerusalem
to see
Cephas,
and
was there
with
him
fifteen
days.
\VS{19}But
of
the
other
Apostles
I
saw
only
James,
the Lord's
brother.
\VS{20}Now
God
is witness
that
the
things
which
I am
writing
to
you
are true.
\VS{21}Then
I
came
to
the parts
of
Syria
and
Cilicia.
\VS{22}And
the
churches
of Judaea
which
were
in
Christ still
had
no
knowledge
of
my
face
or
person:
\VS{23}Only
it
came
to
their
ears
that
he
who
at
one
time
was cruel
to
us
is
now
preaching
the
faith
which
before
had
been attacked
by
him;
\VS{24}And
they gave
glory
to
God
in
me.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
after
the space
of
fourteen
years
I
went
up
again
to
Jerusalem
with
Barnabas,
taking
Titus
with
me.
\VS{2}And
I
went
up
by
revelation;
and
I put
before
them
the
good
news
which
I
was
preaching
among
the
Gentiles,
but
privately
before
those
who
were
of
good name,
so
that
the work
which
I
was
or
had
been doing
might
not
be
without
effect.
\VS{3}But
not
even
Titus
who
was
with
me,
being
a
Greek,
was
made
to undergo
circumcision:
\VS{4}And
that
because
of
the
false brothers
let
in
secretly,
who
came searching out
our free condition
which
we
have
in
Christ
Jesus,
so
that
they
might
make servants
of
us;
\VS{5}To
whom
we gave
way
not
even
for
an
hour;
so
that
the
true words
of
the
good
news
might still be
with
you.
\VS{6}But
from
those
who
seemed
to
be important (whatever
they
were
has
no weight
with
me:
God
does
not
take man's
person
into account):
those
who
seemed
to
be important gave
nothing new
to
me;
\VS{7}But, quite
the opposite,
when
they
saw
that
I
had been made responsible
for preaching
the
good
news
to
those
without
circumcision, even
as
Peter
had been
for
those
of
the
circumcision
\VS{8}(Because
he
who
was
working
in
Peter
as
the Apostle
of
the
circumcision
was
working no less
in
me
among
the
Gentiles);
\VS{9}When
they saw
the
grace
which
was
given
to
me,
James
and
Cephas
and
John,
who
had
the name
of
being
pillars,
gave
to
me
and
Barnabas
their
right hands
as friends
so
that
we
might go
to
the
Gentiles,
and
they
to
the
circumcision;
\VS{10}Only
it
was
their desire
that
we
would
give thought
to
the
poor;
which
very
thing
I
had much
in
mind
to
do.
\VS{11}But
when
Cephas
came
to
Antioch,
I made
a protest
against
him
to
his
face,
because
he
was clearly
in
the wrong.
\VS{12}For
before
certain
men
came
from
James,
he
did
take food
with
the
Gentiles:
but
when
they
came,
he
went
back
and made
himself
separate,
fearing
those
who
were
of
the
circumcision.
\VS{13}And
the
rest
of
the
Jews went
after
him,
so
that
even
Barnabas
was overcome
by
their false ways.
\VS{14}But
when
I
saw
that
they
were
not
living uprightly
in agreement
with
the
true
words
of
the
good
news,
I
said
to
Cephas
before
them
all,
If
you,
being
a
Jew,
are
living
like
the
Gentiles,
and
not
like
the
Jews,
how
will
you
make
the
Gentiles
do
the
same
as
the
Jews?
\VS{15}We being
Jews
by birth,
and
not
sinners
of
the
Gentiles,
\VS{16}Being conscious
that
a
man
does
not get righteousness
by
the
works
of
the
law,
but
through
faith
in
Jesus
Christ,
we
had
faith
in
Christ
Jesus,
so
that
we
might get righteousness
by
faith
in
Christ,
and
not
by
the
works
of
the
law:
because
by
the
works
of
the
law
will
no
flesh get righteousness.
\VS{17}But
if,
while
we
were desiring
to
get
righteousness
through
Christ,
we
ourselves
were seen
to
be
sinners,
is
Christ
a
servant
of
sin?
In
no
way!
\VS{18}For
if
I put
up
again
those
things
which
I gave
to destruction,
I am seen
to
be
a wrongdoer.
\VS{19}For
I,
through
the
law,
have become
dead
to
the
law,
so
that
I
might
be
living
to
God.
\VS{20}I
have
been
put
to death
on
the cross
with
Christ; still
I
am
living;
no
longer
I,
but
Christ
is
living
in
me;
and
that
life
which
I
now
am
living
in
the
flesh
I
am
living
by
faith,
the
faith
of
the
Son
of
God,
who
in
love
for
me,
gave
himself
up
for
me.
\VS{21}I
do
not
make
the
grace
of
God
of
no effect:
because
if
righteousness
is
through
the
law,
then
Christ
was
put
to
death
for
nothing.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}O
foolish
Galatians,
by
what strange powers
have
you
been tricked,
to
whom
it
was made clear
that
Jesus
Christ
was put
to death
on
the cross?
\VS{2}Give
me
an answer
to
this
one question,
Did
the
Spirit
come
to
you
through
the
works
of
the
law,
or
by
the
hearing
of
faith?
\VS{3}Are
you
so
foolish?
having made
a start
in
the
Spirit,
will
you
now
be made
complete
in
the
flesh?
\VS{4}Did
you undergo
such
a number
of
things
to
no purpose?
if
it
is
in fact
to
no purpose.
\VS{5}He
who gives
you
the
Spirit,
and
does
works
of
power
among
you,
is
it
by
the
works
of
law,
or
by
the
hearing
of
faith?
\VS{6}Even
as
Abraham
had
faith
in
God,
and
it
was put
to
his
account
as
righteousness.
\VS{7}Be certain,
then,
that
those
who
are
of
faith,
the
same
are
sons
of
Abraham.
\VS{8}And
the holy Writings, seeing
before
the event
that
God
would give
the
Gentiles righteousness
by
faith, gave
the good news
before
to
Abraham,
saying,
In
you
will
all
the
nations
have
a blessing.
\VS{9}So
then
those
who
are
of
faith
have
a part
in
the
blessing
of
Abraham
who
was full
of
faith.
\VS{10}For
all
who
are
of
the
works
of
the
law
are
under
a
curse:
because
it
is said
in
the Writings,
A
curse
is
on
everyone
who
does
not
keep
on
doing
all
the
things
which
are ordered
in
the
book
of
the
law.
\VS{11}Now
that
no
man gets righteousness
by
the
law
in
the eyes
of
God,
is clear;
because,
The
upright
will
be
living
by
faith.
\VS{12}And
the
law
is
not
of
faith;
but,
He
who
does
them
will
have
life
by
them.
\VS{13}Christ
has
made
us free
from
the
curse
of
the
law, having
become
a
curse
for
us:
because
it
is
said
in
the Writings,
A
curse
on
everyone
who
is
put
to death
by
hanging
on
a
tree:
\VS{14}So
that
on
the
Gentiles
might
come
the
blessing
of
Abraham
in
Christ
Jesus;
in
order
that
we
through
faith
might
have
the
Spirit
which God
had undertaken
to
give.
\VS{15}Brothers,
as
men
would
say,
even
a man's agreement,
when
it
has been
made
certain,
may
not
be put
on
one side,
or
have additions
made
to
it.
\VS{16}Now
to
Abraham
were
the undertakings given,
and
to
his
seed.
He
says
not,
And
to
seeds,
as
of
a
great
number;
but
as
of
one,
he
says,
And
to
your
seed,
which
is
Christ.
\VS{17}Now
this
I
say:
The
law,
which
came
four
hundred
and
thirty
years
after,
does
not
put
an
end
to
the agreement
made
before
by
God,
so
as
to
make
the undertaking
without effect.
\VS{18}Because
if
the heritage
is
by
the
law,
it
is
no
longer dependent
on
the word
of
God;
but
God
gave
it
to
Abraham
by
his word.
\VS{19}What
then
is
the
law?
It
was
an addition
made
because
of sin, till
the
coming
of
the
seed
to
whom
the undertaking
had been
given;
and
it
was
ordered
through
angels
by
the
hand
of
a go-between.
\VS{20}Now
a go-between
is
not
a go-between
of
one;
but
God
is
one.
\VS{21}Is
the
law
then
against
the words
of
God?
in
no
way;
because
if
there
had
been
a
law
which
was
able
to
give
life, truly
righteousness
would
have
been
by
the
law.
\VS{22}However,
the holy Writings
have
put
all
things
under
sin,
so
that
that
for
which
God
gave
the undertaking,
based
on
faith
in
Jesus
Christ,
might
be
given
to
those
who
have such
faith.
\VS{23}But
before
faith
came,
we
were
kept
in prison
under
the
law, waiting
for
the
revelation
of
the
faith
which
was
to
come.
\VS{24}So
the
law
has
been
a servant
to
take
us
to
Christ,
so
that
we
might
have righteousness
by
faith.
\VS{25}But
now
that
faith
is
come,
we
are
no
longer
under
a servant.
\VS{26}Because
you
are
all
sons
of
God
through
faith
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{27}For
all
those
of
you
who
were given baptism
into
Christ
did
put
on
Christ.
\VS{28}There
is
no
Jew
or
Greek,
servant
or
free,
male
or
female:
because
you
are
all
one
in
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{29}And
if
you
are Christ's,
then
you
are Abraham's
seed,
and
yours
is
the heritage
by
the right
of God's undertaking given
to
Abraham.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But
I
say
that
as
long
as
the son
is
a
child,
he
is
in
no
way
different
from
a
servant,
though
he
is
lord
of
all;
\VS{2}But
is
under keepers
and
managers till
the time fixed
by
the
father.
\VS{3}So
we,
when
we
were young,
were kept
under
the first rules
of
the
world;
\VS{4}But
when
the
time
had
come,
God
sent
out
his
Son,
made
of
a
woman,
made
under
the
law,
\VS{5}That
he might make
them free
who
were
under
the
law,
and
that
we might be given
the place
of
sons.
\VS{6}And
because
you
are
sons,
God
has
sent
out
the
Spirit
of
his
Son
into
our
hearts,
saying,
Abba,
Father.
\VS{7}So
that
you
are
no
longer
a
servant,
but
a
son;
and
if
a
son,
then
the heritage
of
God
is yours.
\VS{8}But
at
that
time, having
no knowledge
of
God,
you
were servants
to
those
who
by right
are
no
gods:
\VS{9}But
now
that
you
have
come
to
have knowledge
of
God,
or
more truly,
God
has knowledge
of
you,
how
is
it
that
you go
back
again
to
the
poor
and feeble first
things,
desiring
to
be servants
to
them
again?
\VS{10}You
keep
days,
and
months,
and fixed
times,
and
years.
\VS{11}I
am
in
fear
of
you,
that
I may
have
been
working
for
you
to
no purpose.
\VS{12}My desire
for
you,
brothers,
is
that
you
may
be
as
I
am,
because
I
am
as
you
are.
You
have
done
me
no
wrong;
\VS{13}But
you
have knowledge
that
with
a feeble
body
I
was
preaching
the
good
news
to
you
the
first
time;
\VS{14}And
you
did
not
have
a poor opinion
of
me
because
of
the trouble
in
my
flesh,
or put shame
on
it;
but
you
took
me
to
your hearts
as
an
angel
of
God,
even
as
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{15}Where
then
is
that happy condition
of
yours?
because
I
give
you
witness,
that,
if
possible,
you would
have taken
out
your
eyes
and
given
them
to
me.
\VS{16}So
then
am
I no longer
your friend, because
I
give
you true words?
\VS{17}Their interest
in
you
is
not
good;
but
their
desire
is
that
you
may
be
shut
out,
so
that
you
may go after
them.
\VS{18}But
it
is
good
to
have
an interest
in
a
good cause
at
all
times,
and
not
only
when
I
am
present
with
you.
\VS{19}My
children,
of
whom
I
am
again
in birth-pains till
Christ
is
formed
in
you,
\VS{20}Truly
my
desire
is
to
be
present
with
you
now, using
a
changed
voice;
for
I
am troubled
about
you.
\VS{21}Say,
you whose
desire
it
is
to
be
under
the
law,
do
you
not
give ear
to
the
law?
\VS{22}Because
it
is
in
the Writings,
that
Abraham
had
two
sons,
one
by
the servant-woman,
and
one
by
the
free
woman.
\VS{23}Now
the son
by
the servant-woman
has
his
birth
after
the
flesh;
but
the son
by
the
free
woman
has
his
birth
through
the undertaking
of God.
\VS{24}Which
things
have
a secret sense;
because
these
women
are
the
two agreements;
one
from
the
mountain
of
Sinai, giving
birth
to servants,
which
is
Hagar.
\VS{25}Now
this Hagar
is
the
mountain
Sinai
in
Arabia,
and
is
the image
of
the
Jerusalem
which
now
is:
which
is
a servant
with
her
children.
\VS{26}But
the
Jerusalem
on high
is
free,
which
is
our
mother.
\VS{27}For
it
is
in
the Writings,
You
who
have
never given
birth,
be
glad;
give cries
of joy,
you
who
have
had
no birth-pains;
for
the
children
of
her
who
has
been given up
by
her
husband
are
more
than
those
of
the
woman
who
has
a
husband.
\VS{28}Now
we,
brothers,
as
Isaac
was,
are
the
children
of
the undertaking
of God.
\VS{29}But
as
in
those days
he
who
had
birth
after
the
flesh
was cruel
to
him
who
had
birth
after
the
Spirit,
even
so
it
is
now.
\VS{30}What
then
do
the Writings
say?
Send
away
the servant-woman
and
her
son;
for
the
son
of
the servant-woman
will
not
have
a
part
in
the heritage
with
the
son
of
the
free
woman.
\VS{31}So,
brothers,
we
are
not
children
of
the servant-woman,
but
of
the
free
woman.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Christ
has truly made
us
free:
then
keep
your
free condition
and
let
no
man put
a
yoke
on
you
again.
\VS{2}See,
I
Paul
say
to
you,
that
if
you
undergo
circumcision,
Christ
will
be
of
no use
to
you.
\VS{3}Yes,
I
give witness
again
to
every
man
who undergoes
circumcision,
that
he
will
have
to
keep
all
the
law.
\VS{4}You
are cut
off
from
Christ,
you
who
would
have righteousness
by
the
law;
you
are turned
away
from
grace.
\VS{5}For
we
through
the
Spirit
by
faith
are
waiting
for
the
hope
of
righteousness.
\VS{6}Because
in
Christ
Jesus, having
circumcision
or
not having
circumcision
are equally
of
no profit;
but
only
faith
working
through
love.
\VS{7}You
were going on
well;
who
was
the cause
of
your
not giving ear
to
what
is
true?
\VS{8}This ready belief
did
not
come
from
him
who
had made
you
his.
\VS{9}A
little
leaven
makes a change
in
all
the mass.
\VS{10}I
am certain
about
you
in
the
Lord,
that
you
will
be
of
no
other
mind;
but
he
who
is troubling
you
will
have
his
punishment,
whoever
he
is.
\VS{11}But
I,
brothers,
if
I
am
still
preaching
circumcision,
why
am
I
still attacked?
then
has
the shame
of
the
cross been taken
away.
\VS{12}My desire
is
that
they
who give
you trouble
might
even
be
cut
off themselves.
\VS{13}Because
you,
brothers,
were marked out
to
be free;
only
do
not
make use
of
your free
condition
to
give
the
flesh
its chance,
but
through
love
be servants
one
to
another.
\VS{14}For
all
the
law
is
made
complete
in
one
word,
even
in
this,
Have
love
for
your neighbour
as
for
yourself.
\VS{15}But
if
you
are given
to fighting
with
one
another,
take
care
that
you
are
not
the cause
of destruction
one
to
another.
\VS{16}But
I
say, Go
on
in
the
Spirit,
and
you
will
not come under
the rule
of
the evil
desires
of
the
flesh.
\VS{17}For
the
flesh
has
desires
against
the
Spirit,
and
the
Spirit
against
the
flesh;
because
these
are opposite
the
one
to
the
other;
so
that
you
may
not
do
the
things
which
you
have
a mind
to
do.
\VS{18}But
if
you
are guided
by
the
Spirit,
you
are
not
under
the
law.
\VS{19}Now
the
works
of
the
flesh
are clear,
which
are
these: evil desire,
unclean
things, wrong use
of
the senses,
\VS{20}Worship
of images, use
of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has,
angry feelings, attempts to get the better
of others,
divisions, false teachings,
\VS{21}Envy, uncontrolled drinking
and feasting,
and
such
things:
of
which
I give
you word clearly,
even
as
I did
in
the past,
that
they
who
do
such
things
will
have
no part
in
the
kingdom
of
God.
\VS{22}But
the
fruit
of
the
Spirit
is
love,
joy,
peace,
a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing,
faith,
\VS{23}Gentle behaviour, control
over desires:
against
such
there
is
no
law.
\VS{24}And
those
who
are Christ's
have put
to death
on
the cross
the
flesh
with its
passions
and its evil
desires.
\VS{25}If
we
are
living
by
the
Spirit,
by
the
Spirit let us
be guided.
\VS{26}Let us
not
be full
of self-glory, making
one
another angry, having envy
of
one
another.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Brothers,
if
a
man
is taken
in
any wrongdoing,
you
who
are
of
the
Spirit
will
put
such
a
one right
in
a
spirit
of love; keeping
watch
on
yourself,
for fear
that
you
yourself
may
be
tested.
\VS{2}Take
on
yourselves
one another's troubles,
and
so keep
the
law
of
Christ.
\VS{3}For
if
a
man
has
an idea
that
he
is
something
when
he
is
nothing,
he
is tricked
by
himself.
\VS{4}But
let
every
man
make
test
of
his
work,
and
then
will
his cause
for
glory
be
in
himself
only,
and
not
in
his neighbour.
\VS{5}Because
every
man
is responsible
for
his part
of
the work.
\VS{6}But let
him
who gets
teaching
in
the
word give
a part
in
all
good
things
to
his teacher.
\VS{7}Be
not tricked;
God
is
not made sport
of:
for
whatever seed
a
man puts
in,
that
will
he get back
as grain.
\VS{8}Because
he
who puts
in
the seed
of
the
flesh
will
of
the
flesh get
the reward
of death;
but
he
who puts
in
the seed
of
the
Spirit
will
of
the
Spirit get
the reward
of
eternal
life.
\VS{9}And let
us
not get tired
of well-doing;
for
at
the
right
time
we
will get
in
the grain, if
we
do
not
give way
to weariness.
\VS{10}So
then,
as
we
have
the chance,
let us
do
good
to
all
men,
and specially
to
those
who
are
of
the family
of
the
faith.
\VS{11}See
the size
of
the handwriting
which
I myself
have made use
of
in
writing
to
you.
\VS{12}Those
who
have
the
desire
to seem important
in
the
flesh, put
force
on
you
to undergo
circumcision;
only
that
they
may
not
be attacked
because
of
the
cross
of
Christ.
\VS{13}Because
even
those
who undergo
circumcision
do
not
themselves
keep
the
law;
but
they
would
have
you undergo
circumcision,
so
that
they
may
have
glory
in
your
flesh.
\VS{14}But
far
be
it
from
me
to
have
glory
in anything,
but
only
in
the
cross
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
through
which
this
world
has
come
to
an end
on
the
cross
for
me,
and
I
for
it.
\VS{15}For having
circumcision
is
nothing,
and
not having
circumcision
is
nothing,
but
only
a
new order
of existence.
\VS{16}And
on
all
who
are guided
by
this
rule
be
peace
and
mercy,
and
on
the
Israel
of
God.
\VS{17}From
this time
on
let
no
man
be
a
trouble
to
me;
because
my
body
is marked
with
the marks
of
Jesus.
\VS{18}The
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
be
with
your
spirit,
brothers. So
be it.
