-
and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
-
But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, `If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?
-
`Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham,
-
for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed [is] every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,'
-
for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,
-
there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;
-
And I say, so long time as the heir is a babe, he differeth nothing from a servant -- being lord of all,
-
and [it is] good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being present with you;
-
which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, which is Hagar;
-
and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all,
-
for all the law in one word is fulfilled -- in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;'
-
And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing -- in all good things.
-
therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.
