I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one ¹  who called you by the grace of Christ ²  and are following ³  a different ⁴  gospel –

But now that you have come to know God (or rather to be known by God), how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless ¹  basic forces? ²  Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again? ³ 

So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? ¹ 

This persuasion ¹  does not come from the one who calls you!

and though my physical condition put you to the test, you did not despise or reject me. ¹  Instead, you welcomed me as though I were an angel of God, ²  as though I were Christ Jesus himself! ³ 

You are observing religious ¹  days and months and seasons and years.

Grace and peace to you ¹  from God the Father and our ²  Lord Jesus Christ,

For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith. ¹ 

See what big letters I make as I write to you with my own hand!

Have you suffered so many things for nothing? – if indeed it was for nothing.

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! ¹ 

But you, ¹  brothers and sisters, ²  are children of the promise like Isaac.

For all of you who ¹  were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

My children – I am again undergoing birth pains until Christ is formed in you! ¹ 

Where then is your sense of happiness ¹  now? For I testify about you that if it were possible, you would have pulled out your eyes and given them to me!

Now ¹  I want you to know, brothers and sisters, ²  that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. ³ 

And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who calls ¹  “Abba! ²  Father!”

Brothers and sisters, ¹  if a person ²  is discovered in some sin, ³  you who are spiritual ⁴  restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness. ⁵  Pay close attention ⁶  to yourselves, so that you are not tempted too.

For the flesh has desires that are opposed to the Spirit, and the Spirit has desires ¹  that are opposed to the flesh, for these are in opposition to ²  each other, so that you cannot do what you want.

envying, ¹  murder, ²  drunkenness, carousing, ³  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!
