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.
For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back
and separate himself, for fear of those in the
circumcision group.
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 compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to
Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a
Jew, live like a
Gentile and not like a
Jew, how can you
compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
We who are Jews by birth
and not
Gentile “sinners”
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.
know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

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,

crucified with Christ,
and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me
and gave Himself up for me.
He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

lavish His Spirit on you

and believe?
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
And the scripture,
foreseeing that God would
justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
The Scripture foresaw that God would
justify the Gentiles by faith,
and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”
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.
The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred
and thirty years after, cannot
disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not
revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to
nullify the 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.
Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a
mediator.
And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying,
Abba, Father.
And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “
Abba, Father!”
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.
But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak
and beggarly elements,
whereunto ye desire again to be in
bondage?
But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak
and worthless principles? Do you wish to be
enslaved by them all over again?
Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
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.
And although my illness was a trial to you, you did not
despise or
reject me. Instead, you
welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus Himself.
Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have
plucked out your own eyes,
and have given them to me.

testify that, if it were possible, you would have
torn out your eyes
and given them to me.
But it is good to be
zealously affected always in a good thing,
and not only when I am present with you.
Nevertheless, it is good to be
zealous if it serves a noble purpose—at any time,
and not only when I am with you.
I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
how I wish I could be with you now
and change my tone, because I am
perplexed about you.
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a
bondmaid, the other by a
freewoman.
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
Which things are an
allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount
Sinai, which gendereth to
bondage, which is
Agar.
These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount
Sinai and bears children into slavery: This is
Hagar.
For this
Agar is mount
Sinai in Arabia,
and answereth to Jerusalem which now is,
and is in
bondage with her children.
Now
Hagar stands for Mount
Sinai in Arabia
and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
For it is written,
Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth
and cry, thou that travailest not: for the
desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
For it is written: “
Rejoice, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth
and cry
aloud, you who have never
travailed; because more are the children of the
desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”
Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the
bondwoman and her son: for the son of the
bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.
But what does the Scripture say? “
Expel the slave woman
and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then,
and do not be
encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.
And I, brethren, if I yet
preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
But if ye
bite and devour one another, take
heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

biting and devouring one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit,
and ye shall not fulfil the
lust of the flesh.
So I say, walk by the Spirit,
and you will not
gratify the desires 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 ye cannot do the things that ye would.
For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want.
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity,
and debauchery;
Envyings, murders,
drunkenness, revellings,
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.
gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
And they that are Christ’s have
crucified the flesh with the affections
and lusts.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have
crucified the flesh with its passions
and desires.
Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Carry one another’s burdens,
and in this way you will
fulfill the law of Christ.
But let every man prove his own work,
and then shall he have
rejoicing in himself alone,
and not in another.
Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to
boast in himself alone,
and not in someone else.
And let us not be
weary in well doing: for in due season we shall
reap, if we
faint not.

reap a harvest if we do not give up.
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to
everyone,
and especially to the family of faith.
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.
But as for me, may I never
boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been
crucified to me,
and I to the world.

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh
and of the mind;
