and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:

Paul Called by God

For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel.

But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother.

Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery—

The Law and the Promise

To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified.

Brothers, I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong.

Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.

So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.

But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.

For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

Bear One Another's Burdens

Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
