Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, being jealous of one another.

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

From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.

But even if we (or an angel from heaven) should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be condemned to hell!

So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith.

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

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

And I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.

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!

So we must not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.

Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it.

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

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

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.

Now this matter arose because of the false brothers with false pretenses who slipped in unnoticed to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, to make us slaves.

Brothers and sisters, I offer an example from everyday life: When a covenant has been ratified, even though it is only a human contract, no one can set it aside or add anything to it.

envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!
