They requested only that we remember the poor, the very thing I also was eager to do.

However, it is good to be sought eagerly for a good purpose at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

They were only hearing, “The one who once persecuted us is now proclaiming the good news of the faith he once tried to destroy.”

The only thing I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law or by believing what you heard?

For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to indulge your flesh, but through love serve one another.

Let each one examine his own work. Then he can take pride in himself and not compare himself with someone else.

Those who want to make a good showing in external matters are trying to force you to be circumcised. They do so only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
