GALATIANS.
AUL, an apostle, (not fof men,
neither ‘by man, but ‘by Jesus
Christ, and God the Father, who “raised Him /r from the =dead) ;
2 And all the brethren which_are with me, unto_the churches of_-Galatia :
3 Grace be to_you and peace, from God ‘the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Who «gave Himself for our -sins, that He_-might_deliver us ofrom this present evil «world, according_to the will of_-God and our Father :
5 To_whom be -glory “for «+=ever and a-=ever. Amen.
6 T_marvel that ye_are so_soon re- moved from Him-_that -called you iinto the grace of_Christ unto @an- other gospel:
7 Which is not another ; but there_be some that trouble you, and ¢+would pervert the gospel of_-Christ.
8 But »-though Wwe, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto_ you than that_which we_have_preached unto_you, '‘let_him_be «” accursed.
8 As we - ‘said _ before, so say _ I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto_you than that ye_ have _ received, ‘let _him_be «anac- cursed.
10 For do_I now cpersuade men, or -God? or do_I_seek to_please men ? for if I yet ~pleased men, I_~should not be the 40 servant of_Christ.
11 But Lcertify you, brethren, that the gospel which -:was_preached ? of me is not “after man.
12 For £ neither received it of man, neither was_I_taught it, but ‘by the revelation of_Jesus Christ.
13 For ye_have_heard_of -my ™con- versation in_time_past in j the Jews’_ religion, how_that beyond measure I_ “persecuted the church of_-God, and wasted it:
14 And ~profited in j the Jews’_reli- gion above many my-_c equals in mine own snation, being more_exceedingly zealous of_the traditions of_my fa-

10 Only they would that we_'should_ remember the =poor; the same which I also was_forward to_-do.
1 But when Peter -was_come to Antioch, I_withstood him to the face, because he_-was “to_be_blamed.
2 For before that certain came from James, he_~did_eat with the Gentiles: |but when they_-were_come, he_~with- drew and ~separated himself, fearing them_which_were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled_ likewise with _him; insomuch _ that Barnabas also was_carried_away_with their sdissimulation.
14 But when I_saw that they_'walked not uprightly according_to the truth of_ the g 1, [said unto_-Peter before them “Tf thon, being a Jew, livest after_the_manner_of_Gentiles, and not as_do_the_Jews, why compellest_thou the Gentiles ‘o to_live_as_do_the_Jews? 15 @e who are Jews by_nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

21 'Tell me, -+ye_that desire to_be under the law, do_ye not hear the law?
2 For it_‘is_written, that Abraham had two sons, the one oby a m-bond- maid, »« the other oby @ «freewoman.
3 But he ,iwho was of the » bond- | 95 Gen woman ‘“was_born after the flesh ; but 5 he of the freewoman was t by -promise.
24 Which_things are fs ere for these are the two covenants; the one ,'from the mount Sinai, +which— | 23. gendereth to bondage, which is h Agar, | 10.14.
25 For this ) Agar is mount Sinai in |? ‘through. -Arabia, and ‘answereth_to Jerusalem which now is, and is_in_bondage with her «children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of_us all.
27 For it_‘is_written,
“REJOICE, thow BARREN *+THAT BEAREST NOT;
*BREAK_FORTH AND ‘CRY, T4THOU_ THAT TRAVAILEST NOT:
For THE DESOLATE HATH MANY_ MORE ‘CHILDREN THAN *4SHE_ WHICH HATH @ HUSBAND.”
23 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of_promise.
22 But as then he_that -:was_born after the flesh “persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scrip- ture? “CasT_OUT THE ™BONDWOMAN AND HER ‘SON: FOR THE SON OF_THE mBONDWOMAN “SHALL "NOT BE ~_ HEIR WITH THE SON OF_THE FREEWOMAN.”
31 So_then, brethren, we_are not children of_the_m bondwoman, but of_ the / free.
'STAND_fast therefore in _ the 5 liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and ‘be not entangled again with the yoke of_bondage,

12 J_would -they « were even cut_off which trouble you.
18 For, brethren, pe ‘-have_been_called unto liberty; only use not -liberty for an occasion to_the flesh, but ‘by love b'serve one_another.
14 For ‘h-all the law is_fulfilled in one word, even in this; “THouU_SHALT_LOVE THY ‘NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF.”
15 But if ye_bite and devour one_an- other, 'take heed that_ye_*be not con- sumed one of another.
16 This Tsay then, 'Walk in_the_ Spirit, and ye_-shall 4y not fulfil the lust of_the_fiesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are_contrary the one_to_the_ other: ‘¢so_that ye cannot do the_ things_that ye_'would.
18 But if ye_be_led of_the_Spirit, ye_ are not under the law.
19 Now the works of_the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lascivious-
ness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, =hatred, =vari- ance, emulations, =wrath, =strife, sedi- tions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, =drunkenness, revellings, and such -like: of_the_which
you_in_time_past, that they _which pdo -such_things shall not inherit the kingdom of_God.
2 But the fruit of_the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, se temperance: against -=such there-_is no law.
24 And they_that_are -Christ’s have
and -lusts. > If we_live in_the_Spirit, 'let_us also | w walk in_the_Spirit.

6 ,b'Let -him_that is_taught_in the word communicate unto.=him_that teacheth in all good_things.
7 'Benot deceived ; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall_ he also reap.
8 For =he_that soweth to hiso shall of the flesh reap corruption ; but -she_that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And 'let_us not be_weary +in «well doing: for in_due season we_shall_reap, +if_we_faint not. E
10 As we_have therefore opportunity, ‘let_us_.do -good unto all men, ,ves- pecially unto them_who-_are of_the_ household of_-faith.
ll Ye_*see i how_large a letter I_-have_ written unto_you with_-mine own hand.
72 As_many_as desire to_*make_a_ fair_shew in the flesh, thep constrain you to_be_circumcised ; only lest they_ 'should_suffer_persecution for_the cross of_-Christ.
13 For neither they_themselves who “are_circumcised keep the law: but desire to have you circumcised, that they_*may-_glory in your flesh.
144 But God -forbid that_I should_ glory, save in the cross of_our ~Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world ‘is_ crucified unto_me, and £ unto_the world. ;
15 For in Christ Jesus neither cir- cumcision ayaileth any_thing, nor un- circumcision, but a new creature.
16 And as_many_as g'walk_according to_this -rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israél of_-God.
