You who are trying to be declared righteous<n id="1" /> by the law have been alienated<n id="2" /> from Christ; you have fallen away from grace!

Now, brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted?<n id="2" /> In that case the offense of the cross<n id="3" /> has been removed.<n id="4" />

What I am saying is this: The law that came four hundred thirty years later does not cancel a covenant previously ratified by God,<n id="1" /> so as to invalidate the promise.
