They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

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

But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,

From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
