Fool! What you sow will not come to life unless it dies.

But it is God who establishes us together with you in Christ and who anointed us,

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom.

As a result, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!

Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, although he was a Greek.

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

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

But just as at that time the one born by natural descent persecuted the one born according to the Spirit, so it is now.

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles –

one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on the cause of your anger.

for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth –

For God is my witness that I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

You should have the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had,

Let everyone see your gentleness. The Lord is near!

From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

who also told us of your love in the Spirit.
