Introduction

Paul 3972, an apostle 652 (not {sent} from men 444 nor 3761 through 1223 the agency 1223 of man 444, but through 1223 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 and God 2316 the Father 3962, who raised 1453 Him from the dead 3498),
2 and all 3956 the brethren 80 who are with me,
3 ¶ ¶ Grace 5485 to you and peace 1515 from God 2316 our Father 3962 and the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547,
4 who gave 1325 Himself 1438 for our sins 266 so 3704 that He might rescue 1807 us from this 3588 present 1764 evil 4190 age 165, according 2596 to the will 2307 of our God 2316 and Father 3962,
5 to whom 3739 {be} the glory 1391 forevermore 165. Amen 281.

Perversion of the Gospel

¶ I am 2296 amazed 2296 that you are so 3779 quickly 5030 deserting Him who called 2564 you by the grace 5485 of Christ 5547, for a different 2087 gospel 2098;
7 which 3739 is {really} not another 243; only there are some 5100 who are disturbing 5015 you and want 2309 to distort 3344 the gospel 2098 of Christ 5547.
8 But even 2532 if 1437 we, or 2228 an angel 32 from heaven 3772, should preach 2097 to you a gospel 2097 contrary 3844 to what 3739 we have preached 2097 to you, he is to be accursed 331!
9 As we have said 4275 before 4275, so 2532 I say 3004 again 3825 now 737, if 1487 any 5100 man 5100 is preaching 2097 to you a gospel 2097 contrary 3844 to what 3739 you received 3880, he is to be accursed 331!
10 ¶ For am I now 737 seeking 3982 the favor 3982 of men 444, or 2228 of God 2316? Or 2228 am I striving 2212 to please 700 men 444? If 1487 I were still 2089 trying to please 700 men 444, I would not be a bond-servant 1401 of Christ 5547.
11

Paul Defends His Ministry

¶ For I would have 1107 you know 1107, brethren 80, that the gospel 2098 which was preached 2097 by me is not according 2596 to man 444.
12 For I neither 3761 received 3880 it from man 444, nor 3777 was I taught 1321 it, but {I received it} through 1223 a revelation 602 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.
13 ¶ For you have heard 191 of my former 4218 manner 391 of life 391 in Judaism 2454, how 3754 I used to persecute 1377 the church 1577 of God 2316 beyond measure 5236 and tried to destroy 4199 it;
14 and I was advancing 4298 in Judaism 2454 beyond 5228 many 4183 of my contemporaries 4915 among 1722 my countrymen 1085, being 5225 more 4053 extremely 4053 zealous 2207 for my ancestral 3967 traditions 3862.
15 But when 3753 God, who had set 873 me apart 873 {even} from my mother's 3384 womb 2836 and called 2564 me through 1223 His grace 5485, was pleased 2106
16 to reveal 601 His Son 5207 in me so 2443 that I might preach 2097 Him among 1722 the Gentiles 1484, I did not immediately 2112 consult 4323 with flesh 4561 and blood 129,
17 nor 3761 did I go 424 up to Jerusalem 2414 to those 3588 who were apostles 652 before 4253 me; but I went 565 away 565 to Arabia 688, and returned 5290 once 3825 more 3825 to Damascus 1154.
18 ¶ Then 1899 three 5140 years 2094 later 3326 I went 424 up to Jerusalem 2414 to become 2477 acquainted 2477 with Cephas 2786, and stayed 1961 with him fifteen 1178 days 2250.
19 But I did not see 3708 any 2087 other 2087 of the apostles 652 except 1508 James 2385, the Lord's 2962 brother 80.
20 (Now 1161 in what 3739 I am writing 1125 to you, I assure 2400 you before 1799 God 2316 that I am not lying 5574.)
21 Then 1899 I went 2064 into the regions 2824 of Syria 4947 and Cilicia 2791.
22 I was {still} unknown 50 by sight 4383 to the churches 1577 of Judea 2453 which were in Christ 5547;
23 but only 3440, they kept hearing 191, "He who once 4218 persecuted 1377 us is now 3568 preaching 2097 the faith 4102 which 3739 he once 4218 tried to destroy 4199."
24 And they were glorifying 1392 God 2316 because 1722 of me.

Chapter 2

The Council at Jerusalem

Then 1899 after 1223 an interval of fourteen 1180 years 2094 I went 305 up again 3825 to Jerusalem 2414 with Barnabas 921, taking 4838 Titus 5103 along 4838 also 2532.
2 It was because 2596 of a revelation 602 that I went 305 up; and I submitted 394 to them the gospel 2098 which 3739 I preach 2784 among 1722 the Gentiles 1484, but {I did so} in private to those 3588 who were of reputation 1380, for fear 3381 that I might be running 5143, or 2228 had run 5143, in vain 2756.
3 But not even 3761 Titus 5103, who 3588 was with me, though he was a Greek 1672, was compelled 315 to be circumcised 4059.
4 But {it was} because 1223 of the false 5569 brethren 5569 secretly 3920 brought 3920 in, who had sneaked 3920 in to spy 2684 out our liberty 1657 which 3739 we have 2192 in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424, in order 2443 to bring 2615 us into bondage 2615.
5 But we did not yield 1502 in subjection 5292 to them for even 3761 an hour 5610, so 2443 that the truth 225 of the gospel 2098 would remain 1265 with you.
6 But from those 3588 who were of high 5100 reputation 1380 (what 3697 they were makes 1308 no 3762 difference 1308 to me; God 2316 shows 2983 no 3756 partiality 4383)--well 1063, those 3588 who were of reputation 1380 contributed 4323 nothing 3762 to me.
7 But on the contrary 5121, seeing 3708 that I had been entrusted 4100 with the gospel 2098 to the uncircumcised 203, just 2531 as Peter 4074 {had been} to the circumcised 4061
8 (for He who effectually 1754 worked 1754 for Peter 4074 in {his} apostleship 651 to the circumcised 4061 effectually 1754 worked 1754 for me also 2532 to the Gentiles 1484),
9 and recognizing 1097 the grace 5485 that had been given 1325 to me, James 2385 and Cephas 2786 and John 2491, who were reputed 1380 to be pillars 4769, gave 1325 to me and Barnabas 921 the right 1188 hand 1188 of fellowship 2842, so 2443 that we {might} {go} to the Gentiles 1484 and they to the circumcised 4061.
10 {They} only 3440 {asked} us to remember 3421 the poor 4434--the very 846 thing 846 I also 2532 was eager 4704 to do 4160.
11

Peter (Cephas) Opposed by Paul

¶ But when 3753 Cephas 2786 came 2064 to Antioch 490, I opposed 436 him to his face 4383, because 3754 he stood condemned 2607.
12 For prior 4253 to the coming 2064 of certain 5100 men 5100 from James 2385, he used to eat 4906 with the Gentiles 1484; but when 3753 they came 2064, he {began} to withdraw 5288 and hold 873 himself 1438 aloof 873, fearing 5399 the party of the circumcision 4061.
13 The rest 3062 of the Jews 2453 joined 4942 him in hypocrisy 4942, with the result 5620 that even 2532 Barnabas 921 was carried 4879 away 4879 by their hypocrisy 5272.
14 But when 3753 I saw 3708 that they were not straightforward 3716 about 4314 the truth 225 of the gospel 2098, I said 3004 to Cephas 2786 in the presence 1715 of all 3956, "If 1487 you, being 5225 a Jew 2453, live 2198 like 1483 the Gentiles 1483 and not like 2452 the Jews 2452, how 4459 {is it that} you compel 315 the Gentiles 1484 to live 2450 like 2450 Jews 2450?
15 ¶ "We {are} Jews 2453 by nature 5449 and not sinners 268 from among 1537 the Gentiles 1484;
16 nevertheless 1161 knowing 3609 that a man 444 is not justified 1344 by the works 2041 of the Law 3551 but through 1223 faith 4102 in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424, even 2532 we have believed 4100 in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424, so 2443 that we may be justified 1344 by faith 4102 in Christ 5547 and not by the works 2041 of the Law 3551; since 3754 by the works 2041 of the Law 3551 no flesh 4561 will be justified 1344.
17 "But if 1487, while seeking 2212 to be justified 1344 in Christ 5547, we ourselves 846 have also 2532 been found 2147 sinners 268, is Christ 5547 then 686 a minister 1249 of sin 266? May it never 3361 be!
18 "For if 1487 I rebuild 3618 what 3739 I have {once} destroyed 2647, I prove 4921 myself 1683 to be a transgressor 3848.
19 "For through 1223 the Law 3551 I died 599 to the Law 3551, so 2443 that I might live 2198 to God 2316.
20 "I have been crucified 4957 with Christ 5547; and it is no 3765 longer 3765 I who live 2198, but Christ 5547 lives 2198 in me; and the {life} which 3739 I now 3568 live 2198 in the flesh 4561 I live 2198 by faith 4102 in the Son 5207 of God 2316, who loved 25 me and gave 3860 Himself 1438 up for me.
21 "I do not nullify 114 the grace 5485 of God 2316, for if 1487 righteousness 1343 {comes} through 1223 the Law 3551, then 686 Christ 5547 died 599 needlessly 1431."

Faith Brings Righteousness

You foolish 453 Galatians 1052, who 5101 has bewitched 940 you, before 2596 whose 3739 eyes 3788 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 was publicly 4270 portrayed 4270 {as} crucified 4717?
2 This 3778 is the only 3441 thing 3441 I want 2309 to find 3129 out from you: did you receive 2983 the Spirit 4151 by the works 2041 of the Law 3551, or 2228 by hearing 189 with faith 4102?
3 Are you so 3779 foolish 453? Having begun 1728 by the Spirit 4151, are you now 3568 being perfected 2005 by the flesh 4561?
4 Did you suffer 3958 so 5118 many 5118 things 5118 in vain 1500--if 1487 indeed it was in vain 1500?
5 So 3767 then 3767, does He who provides 2023 you with the Spirit 4151 and works 1754 miracles 1411 among 1722 you, do it by the works 2041 of the Law 3551, or 2228 by hearing 189 with faith 4102?
6 ¶ Even 2531 so 2531 Abraham 11 BELIEVED 4100 GOD 2316, AND IT WAS RECKONED 3049 TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS 1343.
7 Therefore 686, be sure 1097 that it is those 3588 who are of faith 4102 who 3778 are sons 5207 of Abraham 11.
8 The Scripture 1124, foreseeing 4275 that God 2316 would justify 1344 the Gentiles 1484 by faith 4102, preached 4283 the gospel 4283 beforehand 4283 to Abraham 11, {saying,} "ALL 3956 THE NATIONS 1484 WILL BE BLESSED 1757 IN YOU."
9 So 5620 then 5620 those 3588 who are of faith 4102 are blessed 2127 with Abraham 11, the believer 4103.
10 ¶ For as many 3745 as are of the works 2041 of the Law 3551 are under 5259 a curse 2671; for it is written 1125, "CURSED 1944 IS EVERYONE 3956 WHO 3739 DOES NOT ABIDE 1696 BY ALL 3956 THINGS 3956 WRITTEN 1125 IN THE BOOK 975 OF THE LAW 3551, TO PERFORM 4160 THEM."
11 Now 1161 that no 3762 one 3762 is justified 1344 by the Law 3551 before 3844 God 2316 is evident 1212; for, "THE RIGHTEOUS 1342 MAN 1342 SHALL LIVE 2198 BY FAITH 4102."
12 However 1161, the Law 3551 is not of faith 4102; on the contrary 235, "HE WHO PRACTICES 4160 THEM SHALL LIVE 2198 BY THEM."
13 Christ 5547 redeemed 1805 us from the curse 2671 of the Law 3551, having become 1096 a curse 2671 for us--for it is written 1125, "CURSED 1944 IS EVERYONE 3956 WHO HANGS 2910 ON A TREE 3586"--
14 in order 2443 that in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 the blessing 2129 of Abraham 11 might come 1096 to the Gentiles 1484, so 2443 that we would receive 2983 the promise 1860 of the Spirit 4151 through 1223 faith 4102.
15

Intent of the Law

Brethren 80, I speak 3004 in terms 2596 of human 444 relations 444: even 3676 though 3676 it is {only} a man's 444 covenant 1242, yet 3676 when it has been ratified 2964, no 3762 one 3762 sets 114 it aside 114 or 2228 adds 1928 conditions 1928 to it.
16 Now 1161 the promises 1860 were spoken 3004 to Abraham 11 and to his seed 4690. He does not say 3004, "And to seeds 4690," as {referring} to many 4183, but {rather} to one 1520, "And to your seed 4690," that is, Christ 5547.
17 What I am saying 3004 is this 3778: the Law 3551, which came 1096 four 5071 hundred 5071 and thirty 5144 years 2094 later 3326, does not invalidate 208 a covenant 1242 previously 4300 ratified 4300 by God 2316, so 1519 as to nullify 2673 the promise 1860.
18 For if 1487 the inheritance 2817 is based 1537 on law 3551, it is no 3765 longer 3765 based 1537 on a promise 1860; but God 2316 has granted 5483 it to Abraham 11 by means 1223 of a promise 1860.
19 ¶ Why 5101 the Law 3551 then 3767? It was added 4369 because 5484 of transgressions 3847, having been ordained 1299 through 1223 angels 32 by the agency 5495 of a mediator 3316, until 891 the seed 4690 would come 2064 to whom 3739 the promise 1861 had been made 1861.
20 Now 1161 a mediator 3316 is not for one 1520 {party only;} whereas 1161 God 2316 is {only} one 1520.
21 Is the Law 3551 then 3767 contrary 2596 to the promises 1860 of God 2316? May it never 3361 be! For if 1487 a law 3551 had been given 1325 which was able 1410 to impart 2227 life 2227, then righteousness 1343 would indeed 3689 have been 1510 based 1537 on law 3551.
22 But the Scripture 1124 has shut 4788 up everyone 3956 under 5259 sin 266, so 2443 that the promise 1860 by faith 4102 in Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 might be given 1325 to those 3588 who believe 4100.
23 ¶ But before 4253 faith 4102 came 2064, we were kept 5432 in custody 5432 under 5259 the law 3551, being shut 4788 up to the faith 4102 which was later 3195 to be revealed 601.
24 Therefore 5620 the Law 3551 has become 1096 our tutor 3807 {to lead us} to Christ 5547, so 2443 that we may be justified 1344 by faith 4102.
25 But now 1161 that faith 4102 has come 2064, we are no 3765 longer 3765 under 5259 a tutor 3807.
26 For you are all 3956 sons 5207 of God 2316 through 1223 faith 4102 in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424.
27 For all 3745 of you who 3745 were baptized 907 into Christ 5547 have clothed 1746 yourselves with Christ 5547.
28 There 1762 is neither Jew 2453 nor 3761 Greek 1672, there 1762 is neither slave 1401 nor 3761 free 1658 man 1658, there 1762 is neither male 733 nor 2532 female 2338; for you are all 3956 one 1520 in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424.
29 And if 1487 you belong to Christ 5547, then 686 you are Abraham's 11 descendants 4690, heirs 2818 according 2596 to promise 1860.

Chapter 4

Sonship in Christ

Now 1161 I say 3004, as long 5550 as the heir 2818 is a child 3516, he does not differ 1308 at all 3761 from a slave 1401 although he is owner 2962 of everything 3956,
2 but he is under 5259 guardians 2012 and managers 3623 until 891 the date 4287 set 4287 by the father 3962.
3 So 3779 also 2532 we, while 3753 we were children 3516, were held 1402 in bondage 1402 under 5259 the elemental 4747 things 4747 of the world 2889.
4 But when 3753 the fullness 4138 of the time 5550 came 2064, God 2316 sent 1821 forth 1821 His Son 5207, born 1096 of a woman 1135, born 1096 under 5259 the Law 3551,
5 so 2443 that He might redeem 1805 those 3588 who were under 5259 the Law 3551, that we might receive 618 the adoption 5206 as sons 5206.
6 Because 3754 you are sons 5207, God 2316 has sent 1821 forth 1821 the Spirit 4151 of His Son 5207 into our hearts 2588, crying 2896, "Abba 5! Father 3962!"
7 Therefore 5620 you are no 3765 longer 3765 a slave 1401, but a son 5207; and if 1487 a son 5207, then 2532 an heir 2818 through 1223 God 2316.
8 ¶ However 235 at that time 5119, when you did not know 3609 God 2316, you were slaves 1398 to those 3588 which by nature 5449 are no 3361 gods 2316.
9 But now 3568 that you have come to know 1097 God 2316, or 1161 rather 3123 to be known 1097 by God 2316, how 4459 is it that you turn 1994 back 1994 again 3825 to the weak 772 and worthless 4434 elemental 4747 things 4747, to which 3739 you desire 2309 to be enslaved 1398 all 509 over 509 again 3825?
10 You observe 3906 days 2250 and months 3376 and seasons 2540 and years 1763.
11 I fear 5399 for you, that perhaps 4458 I have labored 2872 over 1519 you in vain 1500.
12 ¶ I beg 1189 of you, brethren 80, become 1096 as I {am,} for I also 2532 {have become} as you {are.} You have done 91 me no 3762 wrong 91;
13 but you know 3609 that it was because 1223 of a bodily 4561 illness 769 that I preached 2097 the gospel 2097 to you the first 4387 time 4387;
14 and that which 3986 was a trial 3986 to you in my bodily 4561 condition 4561 you did not despise 1848 or 3761 loathe 1609, but you received 1209 me as an angel 32 of God 2316, as Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 {Himself.}
15 Where 4226 then 3767 is that sense 3108 of blessing 3108 you had? For I bear 3140 you witness 3140 that, if 1487 possible 1415, you would have plucked 1846 out your eyes 3788 and given 1325 them to me.
16 So 5620 have I become 1096 your enemy 2190 by telling 226 you the truth 226?
17 They eagerly 2206 seek 2206 you, not commendably 2573, but they wish 2309 to shut 1576 you out so 2443 that you will seek 2206 them.
18 But it is good 2570 always 3842 to be eagerly 2206 sought 2206 in a commendable 2570 manner 2570, and not only 3440 when 1722 I am 3918 present 3918 with you.
19 My children 5043, with whom 3739 I am 5605 again 3825 in labor 5605 until 3360 Christ 5547 is formed 3445 in you--
20 but I could wish 2309 to be present 3918 with you now 737 and to change 236 my tone 5456, for I am 639 perplexed 639 about 1722 you.
21

Bond and Free

¶ Tell 3004 me, you who want 2309 to be under 5259 law 3551, do you not listen 191 to the law 3551?
22 For it is written 1125 that Abraham 11 had 2192 two 1417 sons 5207, one 1520 by the bondwoman 3814 and one 1520 by the free 1658 woman 1658.
23 But the son by the bondwoman 3814 was born 1080 according 2596 to the flesh 4561, and the son by the free 1658 woman 1658 through 1223 the promise 1860.
24 This 3748 is allegorically 238 speaking 238, for these 3778 {women} are two 1417 covenants 1242: one 1520 {proceeding} from Mount 3735 Sinai 4614 bearing 1080 children 1080 who are to be slaves 1397; she is Hagar 28.
25 Now 3568 this 3588 Hagar 28 is Mount 3735 Sinai 4614 in Arabia 688 and corresponds 4960 to the present 3568 Jerusalem 2419, for she is in slavery 1398 with her children 5043.
26 But the Jerusalem 2419 above 507 is free 1658; she is our mother 3384.
27 For it is written 1125, "REJOICE 2165, BARREN 4723 WOMAN 4723 WHO DOES NOT BEAR 5088; BREAK 4486 FORTH 4486 AND SHOUT 994, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR 5605; FOR MORE 4183 NUMEROUS 4183 ARE THE CHILDREN 5043 OF THE DESOLATE 2048 THAN 2228 OF THE ONE WHO HAS 2192 A HUSBAND 435."
28 And you brethren 80, like 2596 Isaac 2464, are children 5043 of promise 1860.
29 But as at that time 5119 he who was born 1080 according 2596 to the flesh 4561 persecuted 1377 him {who was born} according 2596 to the Spirit 4151, so 3779 it is now 3568 also 2532.
30 But what 5101 does the Scripture 1124 say 3004? "CAST 1544 OUT THE BONDWOMAN 3814 AND HER SON 5207, FOR THE SON 5207 OF THE BONDWOMAN 3814 SHALL NOT BE AN HEIR 2816 WITH THE SON 5207 OF THE FREE 1658 WOMAN 1658."
31 So 1352 then 1352, brethren 80, we are not children 5043 of a bondwoman 3814, but of the free 1658 woman 1658.

Walk by the Spirit

It was for freedom 1657 that Christ 5547 set 1659 us free 1659; therefore 3767 keep standing 4739 firm 4739 and do not be subject 1758 again 3825 to a yoke 2218 of slavery 1397.
2 ¶ Behold 2396 I, Paul 3972, say 3004 to you that if 1437 you receive 4059 circumcision 4059, Christ 5547 will be of no 3762 benefit 5623 to you.
3 And I testify 3143 again 3825 to every 3956 man 444 who receives 4059 circumcision 4059, that he is under 3781 obligation 3781 to keep 4160 the whole 3650 Law 3551.
4 You have been severed 2673 from Christ 5547, you who 3748 are seeking to be justified 1344 by law 3551; you have fallen 1601 from grace 5485.
5 For we through the Spirit 4151, by faith 4102, are waiting 553 for the hope 1680 of righteousness 1343.
6 For in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 neither 3777 circumcision 4061 nor 3777 uncircumcision 203 means 2480 anything 5100, but faith 4102 working 1754 through 1223 love 26.
7 ¶ You were running 5143 well 2573; who 5101 hindered 1465 you from obeying 3982 the truth 225?
8 This 3588 persuasion 3988 {did} not {come} from Him who calls 2564 you.
9 A little 3398 leaven 2219 leavens 2220 the whole 3650 lump 5445 {of dough.}
10 I have 3982 confidence 3982 in you in the Lord 2962 that you will adopt 5426 no 3762 other 243 view 5426; but the one who is disturbing 5015 you will bear 941 his judgment 2917, whoever he is.
11 But I, brethren 80, if 1487 I still 2089 preach 2784 circumcision 4061, why 5101 am I still 2089 persecuted 1377? Then 686 the stumbling 4625 block 4625 of the cross 4716 has been abolished 2673.
12 I wish 3785 that those 3588 who are troubling 387 you would even 2532 mutilate 609 themselves.
13 ¶ For you were called 2564 to freedom 1657, brethren 80; only 3440 {do} not {turn} your freedom 1657 into an opportunity 874 for the flesh 4561, but through 1223 love 26 serve 1398 one 240 another 240.
14 For the whole 3956 Law 3551 is fulfilled 4137 in one 1520 word 3056, in the {statement,} "YOU SHALL LOVE 25 YOUR NEIGHBOR 4139 AS YOURSELF 4572."
15 But if 1487 you bite 1143 and devour 2719 one 240 another 240, take 991 care 991 that you are not consumed 355 by one 240 another 240.
16 ¶ But I say 3004, walk 4043 by the Spirit 4151, and you will not carry 5055 out the desire 1939 of the flesh 4561.
17 For the flesh 4561 sets 1937 its desire 1937 against 2596 the Spirit 4151, and the Spirit 4151 against 2596 the flesh 4561; for these 3778 are in opposition 480 to one 240 another 240, so 2443 that you may not do 4160 the things that you please 2309.
18 But if 1487 you are led 71 by the Spirit 4151, you are not under 5259 the Law 3551.
19 Now 1161 the deeds 2041 of the flesh 4561 are evident 5318, which 3748 are: immorality 4202, impurity 167, sensuality 766,
20 idolatry 1495, sorcery 5331, enmities 2189, strife 2054, jealousy 2205, outbursts 2372 of anger 2372, disputes 2052, dissensions 1370, factions 139,
21 envying 5355, drunkenness 3178, carousing 2970, and things like 3664 these 3778, of which 3739 I forewarn 4302 you, just 2531 as I have forewarned 4275 you, that those 3588 who practice 4238 such 5108 things 5108 will not inherit 2816 the kingdom 932 of God 2316.
22 But the fruit 2590 of the Spirit 4151 is love 26, joy 5479, peace 1515, patience 3115, kindness 5544, goodness 19, faithfulness 4102,
23 gentleness 4240, self-control 1466; against 2596 such 5108 things 5108 there is no 3756 law 3551.
24 Now 1161 those 3588 who belong to Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 have crucified 4717 the flesh 4561 with its passions 3804 and desires 1939.
25 ¶ If 1487 we live 2198 by the Spirit 4151, let us also 2532 walk 4748 by the Spirit 4151.
26 Let us not become 1096 boastful 2755, challenging 4292 one 240 another 240, envying 5354 one 240 another 240.

Bear One Another's Burdens

Brethren 80, even 2532 if 1437 anyone 444 is caught 4301 in any 5100 trespass 3900, you who are spiritual 4152, restore 2675 such 5108 a one 5108 in a spirit 4151 of gentleness 4240; {each one} looking 4648 to yourself 4572, so 3361 that you too 2532 will not be tempted 3985.
2 Bear 941 one 240 another's 240 burdens 922, and thereby 3779 fulfill 378 the law 3551 of Christ 5547.
3 For if 1487 anyone 5100 thinks 1380 he is something 5100 when he is nothing 3367, he deceives 5422 himself 1438.
4 But each 1538 one 1538 must examine 1381 his own 1438 work 2041, and then 5119 he will have 2192 {reason for} boasting 2745 in regard 1519 to himself 1438 alone 3441, and not in regard 1519 to another 2087.
5 For each 1538 one 1538 will bear 941 his own 2398 load 5413.
6 ¶ The one who is taught 2727 the word 3056 is to share 2841 all 3956 good 18 things 18 with the one who teaches 2727 {him.}
7 Do not be deceived 4105, God 2316 is not mocked 3456; for whatever a man 444 sows 4687, this 3778 he will also 2532 reap 2325.
8 For the one who sows 4687 to his own 1438 flesh 4561 will from the flesh 4561 reap 2325 corruption 5356, but the one who sows 4687 to the Spirit 4151 will from the Spirit 4151 reap 2325 eternal 166 life 2222.
9 Let us not lose 1457 heart 1457 in doing 4160 good 2570, for in due 2398 time 2540 we will reap 2325 if we do not grow 1590 weary 1590.
10 So 686 then 686, while 5613 we have 2192 opportunity 2540, let us do 2038 good 18 to all 3956 people 3956, and especially 3122 to those 3588 who 3609 are of the household 3609 of the faith 4102.
11 ¶ See 3708 with what 4080 large 4080 letters 1121 I am writing 1125 to you with my own 1699 hand 5495.
12 Those 3745 who 3745 desire 2309 to make 2146 a good 2146 showing 2146 in the flesh 4561 try to compel 315 you to be circumcised 4059, simply 3440 so 2443 that they will not be persecuted 1377 for the cross 4716 of Christ 5547.
13 For those 3588 who are circumcised 4059 do not even 3761 keep 5442 the Law 3551 themselves 846, but they desire 2309 to have you circumcised 4059 so 2443 that they may boast 2744 in your flesh 4561.
14 But may it never 3361 be that I would boast 2744, except 1508 in the cross 4716 of our Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, through 1223 which 3739 the world 2889 has been crucified 4717 to me, and I to the world 2889.
15 For neither 3777 is circumcision 4061 anything 5100, nor 3777 uncircumcision 203, but a new 2537 creation 2937.
16 And those 3745 who 3745 will walk 4748 by this 3778 rule 2583, peace 1515 and mercy 1656 {be} upon them, and upon the Israel 2474 of God 2316.
17 ¶ From now 3062 on let no 3367 one 3367 cause 3930 trouble 2873 for me, for I bear 941 on my body 4983 the brand-marks 4742 of Jesus 2424.
18 ¶ The grace 5485 of our Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 be with your spirit 4151, brethren 80. Amen 281.
