For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

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!

Grace and peace to you from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

For I did not receive it or learn it from any human source; instead I received it by a revelation of Jesus Christ.

But I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.

Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith.

For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith.

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

My children – I am again undergoing birth pains until Christ is formed in you!

You who are trying to be declared righteous by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace!

Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are following a different gospel –

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

You foolish Galatians! Who has cast a spell on you? Before your eyes Jesus Christ was vividly portrayed as crucified!

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery.

Listen! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you at all!

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight – the only thing that matters is faith working through love.

Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

yet we know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by the faithfulness of Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.
