Afterward I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.<n id="1" />

On the contrary, when they saw<n id="1" /> that I was entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised<n id="2" /> just as Peter was to the circumcised<n id="3" />

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the<n id="1" /> slave woman and the other by the free woman.

But one, the son by the slave woman, was born by natural descent,<n id="1" /> while the other, the son by the free woman, was born through the promise.

and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia.

But I was personally<n id="1" /> unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.

For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith.<n id="1" />

But he is under guardians<n id="1" /> and managers until the date set by his<n id="2" /> father.

<t /><p class="bodytext">But you know it was because of a physical illness that I first proclaimed the gospel to you,

Therefore, brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.p>

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 the works of the flesh<n id="1" /> are obvious:<n id="2" /> sexual immorality, impurity, depravity,

For it is written:p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;<b><i>Rejoice, O barren woman who does not bear children;i>b><n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry"><b><i>break forth and shout, you who have no birth pains,i>b>p> <p class="poetry"><b><i>because the children of the desolate woman are more numerousi>b>p> <p class="poetry"><b><i>than those of the woman who has a husbandi>b><sc>.&#8221;sc><n id="2" />p>

But what does the scripture say? &#8220;<i><b>Throw out the slave woman and her sonb>, <b>for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the sonb>i><sc>&#8221;sc><n id="1" /> of the free woman.

(for he who empowered<n id="1" /> Peter for his apostleship<n id="2" /> to the circumcised<n id="3" /> also empowered me for my apostleship to the Gentiles)<n id="4" />

So then,<n id="1" /> whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith.<n id="2" />p>

But when the one<n id="1" /> who set me apart from birth<n id="2" /> and called me by his grace was pleased

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming<n id="1" /> a curse for us (because it is written, &#8220;<b><i>Cursed is everyone who hangs on a treei>b>&#8221;)<n id="2" />

in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles,<n id="1" /> so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.p>
