word, the Bible.

Galatians 1

Paul, an apostle,
not of men, neither

by man, but by Jesus
Christ and God the

Father, who raised him from the dead.

and all the brethren which are with me

unto the churches of Galatia. Grace be

to you and peace
from God the Father and

from our Lord Jesus Christ who gave

himself for our sins that he might

deliver us from this
present evil world

according to the will of God and our

Father to whom be glory forever and

ever. Amen. I marvel
that ye are so soon

removed from him that called you into

the grace of Christ
unto another gospel

which is not another.
But there be some

that trouble you and would pervert the

gospel of Christ. But though we or an

angel from heaven preach any other

gospel unto you than
that which we have

preached unto you,
let him be accursed.

As we said before, so say I now again,

if any man preach
any other gospel unto

you than that which you have received,

let him be accursed.

For do I now persuade
men or God? Or do

I seek to please men? For if I yet

pleased men, I should
not be the servant

of Christ. But I
certify you, brethren,

that the gospel which
was preached of me

is not after man.
For I neither received

it of man, neither
was I taught it, but

by the revelation of Jesus Christ. For

you have heard of my conversation in

time past in the
Jews religion, how that

beyond measure I persecuted the church

of God and wasted it, and profited in

the Jews religion above many my equals

in my known nation, being more

exceedingly zealous
of the traditions of

my fathers. But when
it pleased God, who

separated me from
my mother's womb, and

called me by his grace, to reveal his

son in me, that I might
preach him among

the heathen,
immediately I conferred not

with flesh and blood,
neither went I up

to Jerusalem to them
which were apostles

before me, but I went into Arabia, and

returned again unto Damascus.

Then after 3 years, I went up to

Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with

him 15 days. But other of the apostles

saw I none, save James, the Lord's

brother. Now the things which I write

unto you, behold,
before God I lie not.

Afterwards I came into the regions of

Syria and Salicitia,
and was unknown by

face unto the churches of Judea, which

were in Christ. But
they had heard only

that he which persecuted us in times

past now preacheth
the faith which once

he destroyed and they glorified God in

me.

Galatians chapter
2 then 14 years after

I went up again to Jerusalem with

Barnabas and took Titus with me also.

And I went up by revelation, and

communicated unto
them that gospel which

I preached among the Gentiles, but

privately to them which were of

reputation, lest by any means I should

run, or had run in vain. But neither

Titus, who was with me, being a Greek,

was compelled to be circumcised. And

that, because a false
brethren unawares,

is brought in, who came in privile to

spy out our liberty, which we have in

Christ Jesus, that they might bring us

into bondage, to whom we gave place by

subjection, no, not for an hour, that

the truth of the gospel might continue

with you. But of these
who seemed to be

somewhat, whatsoever they were, it

maketh no matter to
me. God acceptth no

man's person. For
they who seemed to be

somewhat in conference
added nothing to

me. But contrary wise, when they saw

that the gospel of the uncircumcision

was committed unto
me, as the gospel of

the circumcision
was unto Peter, for he

that wrought
effectually in Peter to the

apostilhip of the
circumcision, the same

was mighty in me toward the Gentiles.

And when James, Cphus, and John, who

seemed to be pillars, perceived the

grace that was given
unto me, they gave

to me and Barnabas the right hands of

fellowship, that we should go into the

heathen, and they
unto the circumcision.

Only they would that
we should remember

the poor, the same which I also was

forward to do. But when Peter was come

to Antioch, I withtood
him to the face,

because he was to
be blamed. For before

that certain came
from James, he did eat

with the Gentiles. But when they were

come, he withdrew
and separated himself,

fearing them which were of the

circumcision. And the other Jews

dissembled likewise
with him, in so much

that Barnabas also
was carried away with

their dissimulation.
But when I saw that

they walked not uprightly according to

the truth of the gospel, I said unto

Peter before them all, If thou being a

Jew, livest after the manner of

Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why

compelst thou the
Gentiles to live as do

the Jews? We who
are Jews by nature and

not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing

that a man is not
justified by the works

of the law, but by the faith of Jesus

Christ. Even we have believed in Jesus

Christ that we might
be justified by the

faith of Christ and
not by the works of

the law. For by the works of the law

shall no flesh be justified.

But if while we
seek to be justified by

Christ, we ourselves also are found

sinners, is therefore Christ the

minister of sin? God forbid. For if I

build again the things which I

destroyed, I make
myself a transgressor.

For I through the law am dead to the

law,

that I might live

unto God.

I am crucified with Christ.

Nevertheless,

I live,

yet not I,

but Christ liveth in me, and the life

which I now live
in the flesh, I live by

the faith of the Son of God, who loved

me and gave himself for me. I do not

frustrate the grace of God. For if

righteousness come by the law, then

Christ is dead in vain.

Galatians chapter 3. Oh foolish

Galatians, who have bewitched you that

you should not obey the truth before

whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been

evidently set forth
crucified among you?

This only what I learn of you. Receive

ye the spirit by the works of the law,

or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so

foolish, having
begun in the spirit? Are

ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have

you suffered so
many things in vain? If

it be yet in vain? He therefore that

ministerth to you the spirit and

workketh miracles
among you doeth he it

by the works of the law or by the

hearing of faith. Even as Abraham

believed God and it
was accounted to him

for righteousness. Know ye therefore

that they which are of faith the same

are the children of Abraham.

and the scripture. For seeing that God

would justify the
heathen through faith,

preached before the
gospel unto Abraham,

saying, In thee shall all nations be

blessed. So then
they which be of faith

are blessed with faithful Abraham. For

as many as are of the works of the law

are under the
curse. For it is written,

cursed is everyone that continutheth

not. In all things
which are written in

the book of the law
to do them, but that

no man is justified by the law in the

sight of God, it is evident, for the

just shall live by faith,

and the law is not
of faith, but the man

that doeth them shall live in them.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse

of the law, being made a curse for us.

For it is written, cursed is everyone

that hangeth on a tree, that the

blessing of Abraham might come on the

Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we

might receive the
promise of the Spirit

through faith. Brethren, I speak after

the manner of men, though it be but a

man's covenant,
yet if it be confirmed,

no man disolleth, or
addeth thereto. Now

to Abraham and his seed were the

promises made. He saith not, and to

seeds as of many,
but as of one, and to

thy seed, which is Christ. And this I

say that the covenant
that was confirmed

before of God in Christ, the law which

was 430 years after
cannot disenol that

it should make the promise of none

effect. For if the
inheritance be of the

law, it is no more of promise. But God

gave it to Abraham
by promise. Wherefore

then serveth the law? It was added

because of
transgressions till the seed

should come to whom
the promise was made

and it was ordained by angels in the

hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is

not a mediator of one. But God is one.

Is the law then
against the promises of

God? God forbid.
For if there had been a

law given which could have given life,

verily righteousness
should have been by

the law. But the scripture have

concluded all under sin, that the

promise by faith of Jesus Christ might

be given to them that believe. But

before faith came, we were kept under

the law, shut up unto the faith which

should afterwards be
revealed. Wherefore

the law was our school master to bring

us unto Christ, that we might be

justified by faith.
But after that faith

has come, we are no longer under a

school master. For ye are all the

children of God by faith in Christ

Jesus. For as many of you as have been

baptized into Christ
have put on Christ.

There is neither Jew
nor Greek. There is

neither bond nor
free. There is neither

male nor female. For ye are all one in

Christ Jesus. And
if ye be Christs, then

are ye Abraham's
seed and hes according

to the promise.

Galatians

4. Now I say that the heir, as long as

he is a child,
differereth nothing from

a servant, though
he be lord of all, but

is under tutors and
governors until the

time appointed of
the father. Even so we

when we were children were in bondage

under the elements of the world. But

when the fullness
of the time was come,

God sent forth his son made of a woman

made under the law to redeem them that

were under the law
that we might receive

the adoption of sons.
And because ye are

sons, God hath
sent forth the spirit of

his son into your hearts, crying, Aba,

Father. Wherefore thou art no more a

servant, but a son?
And if a son than an

heir of God through Christ, how be it

then, when ye knew not God, ye did

service unto them
which by nature are no

gods. But now, after
that ye have known

God, or rather are known of God, how

turn ye again to the weak and beggarly

elements, where
unto ye desire again to

be in bondage. Ye observe days and

months and times
and years. I am afraid

of you, lest I have bestowed upon you

labor in vain.
Brethren, I beseech you,

be as I am, for I am
as ye are. Ye have

not injured me at all. Ye know how

through infirmity of the flesh, I

preached the gospel unto you at the

first. And my temptation, which was in

my flesh, ye despised
not, nor rejected,

but received me as
an angel of God, even

as Christ Jesus. Where is then the

blessedness ye
spake of? For I bear you

record that if it had
been possible, you

would have plucked
out your own eyes and

have given them to me. Am I therefore

become your enemy? Because I tell you

the truth, they zealously affect you,

but not well. Yay, they would exclude

you that you might affect them, but it

is good to be zealously
affected always

in a good thing, and
not only when I am

present with you,
my little children of

whom I travail in birth again until

Christ be formed
in you. I desire to be

present with you now and to change my

voice, for I stand
in doubt of you. Tell

me, ye that desire
to be under the law,

do ye not hear the law? For it is

written that Abraham had two sons, the

one by a bondmaid, the other by a free

woman. But he who
was of the bond woman

was born after the
flesh. But he of the

free woman was by
promise, which things

are an allegory. For these are the two

covenants, the one from the Mount Si,

which genderth bondage, which is Aar.

For this Aar is Mount
Si in Arabia, and

answerth to Jerusalem,
which now is, and

is in bondage with her children. But

Jerusalem, which is above, is free,

which is the mother
of us all. For it is

written, "Rejoice thou barren that

beareest not. break
forth and cry, thou

that travalest not, for the desolate

hath many more children than she which

hath an husband. Now we, brethren, as

Isaac was, are the
children of promise.

But as then, he that
was born after the

flesh persecuted
him that was born after

the spirit, even so it is now.

Nevertheless, what
saith the scripture,

cast out the bond
woman and her son? For

the son of the bond woman shall not be

heir with the son of
the free woman. So

then brethren, we are not children of

the bond woman, but of the free.

Galatians

chapter 5. Stand fast therefore in the

liberty wherewith Christ hath made us

free, and be not entangled again with

the yoke of bondage.
Behold, I Paul say

unto you that if ye be circumcised,

Christ shall profit you nothing. For I

testify again to every man that is

circumcised, that he is a debtor to do

the whole law. Christ is become of no

effect unto you. Whosoever of you are

justified by the law,
ye are fallen from

grace. For we through the spirit wait

for the hope of
righteousness by faith.

For in Jesus Christ
neither circumcision

avaleth anything, nor uncircumcision,

but faith which workketh by love.

Ye did run well. Who
did hinder you that

you should not obey the truth? This

persuasion cometh not of him that

calleth you? A little
levan leavenventh

the whole lump. I
have confidence in you

through the Lord, that ye will be none

otherwise minded.
But he that troubleth

you shall bear his
judgment whosoever he

be. And I, brethren, if I yet preach

circumcision, why do I yet suffer

persecution? Then
as the offense of the

cross ceased, I would
they were even cut

off, which trouble you. For, brethren,

ye have been called unto liberty. only

use not liberty for an occasion to the

flesh, but by love serve one another.

For all the law is fulfilled in one

word, even in this,
thou shalt love thy

neighbor as thyself.

But if ye bite and devour one another,

take heed that ye be
not consumed one of

another. This I say then, walk in the

spirit, and you shall not fulfill the

lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusteth

against the spirit, and the spirit

against the flesh, and these are

contrary the one to the other, so that

you cannot do the
things that you would.

But if you be led
of the spirit, you are

not under the law.
Now the works of the

flesh are manifest, which are these:

adultery, fornication, uncleanness,

lasciviousness,

idolatry, witchcraft,
hatred, variance,

emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,

heresies, envyings, murders,

drunkenness,
rellings, and such like of

the which I tell you before, as I have

also told you in time past, that they

which do such things shall not inherit

the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the

spirit is love, joy, peace,

longsuffering, gentleness,

goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.

Against such there is no law. And they

that are Christs have crucified the

flesh with the
affections and lusts. If

we live in the spirit,
let us also walk

in the spirit. Let us
not be desirous of

vain glory, provoking one another,

envying one another.

Galatians chapter
6, brethren, if a man

be overtaken in a fault, ye which are

spiritual, restore such in one in the

spirit of meekness.
considering thyself,

lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one

another's burdens, and so fulfill the

law of Christ. For if a man think

himself to be something, when he is

nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let

every man prove his own work, and then

shall he have rejoicing in himself

alone, and not in
another. For every man

shall bear his own
burden. Let him that

is taught in the word communicate unto

him that teacheth
in all good things. Be

not deceived. God is not mocked. For

whatsoever a man seth, that shall he

also reap.

For he that sweth
to his flesh shall of

the flesh reap corruption, but he that

sweth to the spirit show of the spirit

reap life everlasting.

And let us not be
weary in welloing, for

in due season we
shall reap if we faint

not. As we have therefore opportunity,

let us do good unto
all men, especially

unto them who are of the household of

faith. You see how
large a letter I have

written unto you with
mine own hand. As

many as desired to make a fair show in

the flesh, they constrain you to be

circumcised, only lest they should

suffer persecution for the cross of

Christ. For neither
they themselves who

are circumcised keep
the law, but desire

to have you circumcised, that they may

glory in your flesh.
But God forbid that

I should glory, save
in the cross of our

Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom the world is

crucified unto me,
and I unto the world.

For in Christ Jesus, neither

circumcision avaleth anything, nor

uncircumcision,

but a new creature.
And as many as walk

according to this
rule, peace be on them

and mercy and upon the Israel of God.

From henceforth let no man trouble me.

For I bear in my body the marks of the

Lord Jesus.

Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus

Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
