But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!

As we have said before, even now I say again: if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

But when He who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace was pleased

But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

But we did not yield in subjection to them, even for an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.

The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

nevertheless, knowing that a person is not justified by works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the Law; since by works of the Law no flesh will be justified.

For all who are of works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all the things written in the book of the Law, to do them.”

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”—

Intent of the Law

Brothers and sisters, I speak in terms of human relations: even though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it.

But the Scripture has confined everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

Sonship in Christ

Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave, although he is owner of everything,

But as at that time the son who was born according to the flesh persecuted the one who was born according to the Spirit, so it is even now.

And I testify again to every man who has himself circumcised, that he is obligated to keep the whole Law.

I wish that those who are troubling you would even emasculate themselves.

Bear One Another’s Burdens

Brothers and sisters, even if a person is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual are to restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you are not tempted as well.

For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they want to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.
