Have you suffered so many things for nothing? – if indeed it was for nothing.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

If we live by the Spirit, let us also behave in accordance with the Spirit.

But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord’s brother.

But if I build up again those things I once destroyed, I demonstrate that I am one who breaks God’s law.

And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to the promise.

So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if you are a son, then you are also an heir through God.

However, if you continually bite and devour one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.

For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

As we have said before, and now I say again, if any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be condemned to hell!

But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves have also been found to be sinners, is Christ then one who encourages sin? Absolutely not!

I do not set aside God’s grace, because if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing!

For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on the promise, but God graciously gave it to Abraham through the promise.

Now, brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.

not that there really is another gospel, but there are some who are disturbing you and wanting to distort the gospel of Christ.

Am I now trying to gain the approval of people, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ!

Where then is your sense of happiness now? For I testify about you that if it were possible, you would have pulled out your eyes and given them to me!

But 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.

But when I saw that they were not behaving consistently with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “If you, although you are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you try to force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

Is the law therefore opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
