THEN, fourteen years after. I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.

2 And I went up by revelation, and com. municated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles; but 1 privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I m should run, or had run, in vain.

3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:

4 And that because of false p brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our libertyr wrach we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: s

5 To whom we gave place by subjec tion, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

6 But of these who seemed v to be somewhat, whatsoever they were, t maketh no matter to me: God w accepteth no man's person: for they who seemed to be somewhat, in conference added nothing to me;

7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, z as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles ;)

9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, c perceived the grace e that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. 10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I i also was forward to do.

11 But when Peter was come to k Antioch, I withstood him to the face, be cause he was to be blamed.

12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat o with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew 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 dissimulation.

14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth r of the gospel, I said unto Peters before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, aud not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

15 We who are Jews by nature, and no sinners v of the Gentiles,

Justification by Faith.

Ge. 12.3,7. 17.7. cAc. 13.38,39. Ro.3.20. d Ro.5.1. c.3.11,24.

16 Knowing that c a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the aith d of Jesus Christ,even we have be-b ieved inJesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for e by the works! of the law shall no flesh be justified. 17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we g ourselves also are found e Ps. 143.2. sinners, is therefore Christ the minister He.7.18,19. of sin?

e He.9.10. 6 Even as A. raham I believed God, and f Jno.1.12. it was 2 counted to him for righteous- 1Jno.3.1,2. 1 or, great. 7 Know ye therefore,that they which are g 2Jno.S. of faith, the same are the children o of h Ro.6.3.

Abraham, saying, q In thee shall all nam ver.7. tions be blessed. n Ro.8.17.

9 So then r they which be of faith are o Jno.8.39. blessed with faithful Abraham. Ro.4.11-16.

10 For as many as are of the works of p ver. 22. the law, are under the curse: for it is q Ge.12.3. written, s Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

19 Wherefore then serveth the law i It was added because of transgressions, till the seed I should come to whom the proise was made; and it was ordained by angels o in the hand p of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God r is one.

21 Is the law then against s the promises of God? God forbid for if t there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

22 But the scripture hath concluded all w under sin, that the promise x by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterward be revealed.

24 Wherefore the law a was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a school-master.

26 For ye are all the children ƒ of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

27 For has many of you as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ. 28 There is k neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye be Christ's, then m are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs n according to the promise.

CHAP. IV.

TOW I say, That the heir, as long as is

a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 But is under tutors and governors un til the time appointed of the father.

3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the 3 elements of the world:

4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit u of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

8 Howbeit then when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye 4 again to the weak and beggarly 5 elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.

11 I am afraid of you, lest I have be

12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured a Ro.8.25. me at all.

13 Ye know how through d infirmity c 1Co.7.19. of the flesh I preached the gospel into d 1Co.2.3. you at the first:

e 1Th. 1.3. Ja.2.18-22. 1 or, drive you back. f2Sa. 19.27. 15 Where 2 is then the blessedness ye Mal.2.7. spake of? for I bear you record, that, if g Mat.13.33. it had been possible, ye would have 1Co.5.6. plucked out your own eyes, and have h Mat.10.40. given them to me.

14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected: but received me as an angel f of God, even as Christ h Jesus.

16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

Justification by Faith alone. 5 For we through the Spirit wait a fo the hope of righteousness b by faith.

6 For in Jesus Christ neither c circum cision availeth any thing, nor uncircum cision; but faith which e worketh by love. 7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you, that ye should not obey the truth? S This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.

9 A little g leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. 11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach cir cumcision, why do I yet suffer persecu tion? k then is the offence of the cross ceased.

12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not n liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve p one another.

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, r Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.

Ja.2.8. 21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under 4 or, I am the law, do ye not hear the law? perplexed 22 For is written, That Abraham had for you. two sons; the one u by a bond-maid, the s Ro.8.1,4,13. other u by a free woman. 5or, fulfil not 23 But he who was of the x bond-wo-t Ro.7.21-23. man was born after the flesh; but he of u Ge. 16. 15. the free woman was by promise. v Ge.21.1,2.

25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Ara bia, and 8 answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

16 This I say then, Walks in the Spirit, and 5ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For t the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary w the one to the other; so that y ye cannot do the things that ye would."

18 But if z ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

26 But Jerusalem d which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written, e Rejoice thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not; for the desolate hath many more children than she which 8 or, is in the hath an husband.
