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

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!

They requested ¹  only that we remember the poor, the very thing I also was eager to do.

But if I build up again those things I once destroyed, ¹  I demonstrate that I am one who breaks God’s law. ² 

so then, understand ¹  that those who believe are the sons of Abraham. ² 

gentleness, and ¹  self-control. Against such things there is no law.

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.

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

Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. ¹  For a person ²  will reap what he sows,

And all who will behave ¹  in accordance with this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on the Israel of God. ² 

These things may be treated as an allegory, ¹  for these women represent two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai bearing children for slavery; this is Hagar.

Those who want to make a good showing in external matters ¹  are trying to force you to be circumcised. They do so ²  only to avoid being persecuted ³  for the cross of Christ.

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

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.
