Faith or Works of the Law
You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
-
So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?
-
The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ.
-
for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
-
Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
-
Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
-
Freedom in Christ
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
-
Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
-
Life by the Spirit
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
-
For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
-
Doing Good to All
Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.
-
Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.
-
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
