However, it is good<n id="1" /> to be sought eagerly<n id="2" /> for a good purpose<n id="3" /> at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

They were only hearing, &#8220;The one who once persecuted us is now proclaiming the good news<n id="1" /> of the faith he once tried to destroy.&#8221;

The only thing I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law<n id="1" /> or by believing what you heard?<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters;<n id="1" /> only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to indulge your flesh,<n id="2" /> but through love serve one another.<n id="3" />

Let each one examine<n id="1" /> his own work. Then he can take pride<n id="2" /> in himself and not compare himself with<n id="3" /> someone else.

<p class="bodytext">Those who want to make a good showing in external matters<n id="1" /> are trying to force you to be circumcised. They do so<n id="2" /> only to avoid being persecuted<n id="3" /> for the cross of Christ.
