+
+THE EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO THE GALATIANS
+
+The Galatians, soon after St. Paul had preached the Gospel to them, were
+seduced by some false teachers, who had been Jews and who were for
+obliging all Christians, even those who had been Gentiles, to observe
+circumcision and the other ceremonies of the Mosaical law. In this
+Epistle, he refutes the pernicious doctrine of those teachers and also
+their calumny against his mission and apostleship. The subject matter of
+this Epistle is much the same as that to the Romans. It was written at
+Ephesus, about twenty-three years after our Lord's Ascension.
+
+
+Galatians Chapter 1
+
+He blames the Galatians for suffering themselves to be imposed upon by
+new teachers. The apostle's calling.
+
+1:1. Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ
+and God the Father, who raised him from the dead:
+
+1:2. And all the brethren who are with me: to the churches of Galatia.
+
+1:3. Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father and from our Lord
+Jesus Christ,
+
+1:4. Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this
+present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father:
+
+1:5. To whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.
+
+1:6. I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into
+the grace of Christ, unto another gospel.
+
+1:7. Which is not another: only there are some that trouble you and
+would pervert the gospel of Christ.
+
+1:8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you
+besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.
+
+1:9. As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a
+gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.
+
+1:10. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If
+I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
+
+1:11. For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was
+preached by me is not according to man.
+
+1:12. For neither did I receive it of man: nor did I learn it but by the
+revelation of Jesus Christ.
+
+1:13. For you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews'
+religion: how that, beyond measure, I persecuted the church of God and
+wasted it.
+
+1:14. And I made progress in the Jew's religion above many of my equals
+in my own nation, being more abundantly zealous for the traditions of my
+fathers.
+
+1:15. But when it pleased him who separated me from my mother's womb and
+called me by his grace,
+
+1:16. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the
+Gentiles: immediately I condescended not to flesh and blood.
+
+1:17. Neither went I to Jerusalem, to the apostles who were before me:
+but I went into Arabia, and again I returned to Damascus.
+
+1:18. Then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Peter: and I
+tarried with him fifteen days.
+
+1:19. But other of the apostles I saw none, saving James the brother of
+the Lord.
+
+1:20. Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie
+not.
+
+1:21. Afterwards, I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
+
+1:22. And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in
+Christ:
+
+1:23. But they had heard only: He, who persecuted us in times past doth
+now preach the faith which once he impugned.
+
+1:24. And they glorified God in me.
+
+Galatians Chapter 2
+
+The apostle's preaching was approved of by the other apostles.  The
+Gentiles were not to be constrained to the observance of the law.
+
+2:1. Then, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem with
+Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
+
+2:2. And I went up according to revelation and communicated to them the
+gospel which I preach among the Gentiles: but apart to them who seemed
+to be some thing: lest perhaps I should run or had run in vain.
+
+2:3. But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Gentile, was compelled
+to be circumcised.
+
+2:4. But because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in
+privately to spy our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they
+might bring us into servitude.
+
+2:5. To whom we yielded not by subjection: no, not for an hour: that the
+truth of the gospel might continue with you.
+
+2:6. But of them who seemed to be some thing, (what they were some time
+it is nothing to me, God accepteth not the person of man): for to me
+they that seemed to be some thing added nothing.
+
+2:7. But contrariwise, when they had seen that to me was committed the
+gospel of the uncircumcision, as to Peter was that of the circumcision.
+
+The gospel of the uncircumcision... The preaching of the gospel to the
+uncircumcised, that is, to the Gentiles. St. Paul was called in an
+extraordinary manner to be the apostle of the Gentiles; St. Peter,
+besides his general commission over the whole flock, (John 21. 15,
+etc.,) had a peculiar charge of the people of the circumscision, that
+is, of the Jews.
+
+2:8. (For he who wrought in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision
+wrought in me also among the Gentiles.)
+
+2:9. And when they had known the grace that was given to me, James and
+Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the
+right hands of fellowship: that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they
+unto the circumcision:
+
+2:10. Only that we should be mindful of the poor: which same thing also
+I was careful to do.
+
+2:11. But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face,
+because he was to be blamed.
+
+I withstood, etc... The fault that is here noted in the conduct of St.
+Peter, was only a certain imprudence, in withdrawing himself from the
+table of the Gentiles, for fear of giving offence to the Jewish
+converts; but this, in such circumstances, when his so doing might be of
+ill consequence to the Gentiles, who might be induced thereby to think
+themselves obliged to conform to the Jewish way of living, to the
+prejudice of their Christian liberty. Neither was St. Paul's
+reprehending him any argument against his supremacy; for in such cases
+an inferior may, and sometimes ought, with respect, to admonish his
+superior.
+
+2:12. For before that some came from James, he did eat with the
+Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself,
+fearing them who were of the circumcision.
+
+2:13. And to his dissimulation the rest of the Jews consented: so that
+Barnabas also was led by them into that dissimulation.
+
+2:14. But when I saw that they walked not uprightly unto the truth of
+the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all: If thou, being a Jew,
+livest after the manner of the Gentiles and not as the Jews do, how dost
+thou compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
+
+2:15. We by nature are Jews: and not of the Gentiles, sinners.
+
+2:16. But knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but
+by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we
+may be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the law:
+because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
+
+2:17. But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also
+are found sinners, is Christ then the minister of sin? God forbid!
+
+2:18. For if I build up again the things which I have destroyed, I make
+myself a prevaricator.
+
+2:19. For I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live to
+God; with Christ I am nailed to the cross.
+
+2:20. And I live, now not I: but Christ liveth in me. And that I live
+now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me
+and delivered himself for me.
+
+2:21. I cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law,
+then Christ died in vain.
+
+Galatians Chapter 3
+
+The Spirit, and the blessing promised to Abraham cometh not by the law,
+but by faith.
+
+3:1. O senseless Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not
+obey the truth: before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been set forth,
+crucified among you?
+
+3:2. This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the
+works of the law or by the hearing of faith?
+
+3:3. Are you so foolish that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would
+now be made perfect by the flesh?
+
+3:4. Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.
+
+3:5. He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit and worketh miracles
+among you: doth he do it by the works of the law or by the hearing of
+the faith?
+
+3:6. As it is written: Abraham believed God: and it was reputed to him
+unto justice.
+
+3:7. Know ye, therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the
+children of Abraham.
+
+3:8. And the scripture, foreseeing that God justifieth the Gentiles by
+faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.
+
+3:9. Therefore, they that are of faith shall be blessed with faithful
+Abraham.
+
+3:10. For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For
+it is written: Cursed is every one that abideth, not in all things which
+are written in the book of the law to do them.
+
+3:11. But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest:
+because the just man liveth by faith.
+
+3:12. But the law is not of faith: but he that doth those things shall
+live in them.
+
+3:13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a
+curse for us (for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a
+tree).
+
+3:14. That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through
+Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
+
+3:15. Brethren (I speak after the manner of man), yet a man's testament,
+if it be confirmed, no man despiseth nor addeth to it.
+
+3:16. To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not:
+And to his seeds as of many. But as of one: And to thy seed, which is
+Christ.
+
+3:17. Now this I say: that the testament which was confirmed by God, the
+law which was made after four hundred and thirty years doth not
+disannul, to make the promise of no effect.
+
+3:18. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise.
+But God gave it to Abraham by promise.
+
+3:19. Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until
+the seed should come to whom he made the promise, being ordained by
+angels in the hand of a mediator.
+
+Because of transgressions... To restrain them from sin, by fear and
+threats. Ordained by angels... The law was delivered by angels, speaking
+in the name and person of God to Moses, who was the mediator, on this
+occasion, between God and the people.
+
+3:20. Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one.
+
+3:21. Was the law then against the promises of God: God forbid!  For if
+there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should
+have been by the law.
+
+3:22. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise,
+by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.
+
+Hath concluded all under sin... that is, hath declared all to be under
+sin, from which they could not be delivered but by faith in Jesus
+Christ, the promised seed.
+
+3:23. But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up,
+unto that faith which was to be revealed.
+
+3:24. Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ: that we might be
+justified by faith.
+
+Pedagogue... That is, schoolmaster, conductor, or instructor.
+
+3:25. But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.
+
+3:26. For you are all the children of God, by faith in Christ Jesus.
+
+3:27. For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have put on
+Christ.
+
+3:28. There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free:
+there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
+
+Neither Jew, etc... That is, no distinction of Jew, etc.
+
+3:29. And if you be Christ's, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs
+according to the promise.
+
+Galatians Chapter 4
+
+Christ has freed us from the servitude of the law. We are the freeborn
+sons of Abraham.
+
+4:1. As long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a
+servant, though he be lord of all,
+
+4:2. But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the
+father.
+
+4:3. So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements
+of the world.
+
+Under the elements, etc... That is, under the first rudiments of
+religion, in which the carnal Jews were trained up; or under those
+corporeal creatures, used in their manifold rites, sacrifices, and
+sacraments.
+
+4:4. But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made
+of a woman, made under the law:
+
+4:5. That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might
+receive the adoption of sons.
+
+4:6. And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into
+your hearts, crying: Abba, Father.
+
+4:7. Therefore, now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an
+heir also through God.
+
+4:8. But then indeed, not knowing God, you served them who, by nature,
+are not gods.
+
+4:9. But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known by God:
+how turn you again to the weak and needy elements which you desire to
+serve again?
+
+4:10. You observe days and months and times, and years.
+
+You observe days, etc... He speaks not of the observation of the Lord's
+day, or other Christian festivals; but either of the superstitious
+observation of days lucky and unlucky; or else of the Jewish festivals,
+to the observance of which, certain Jewish teachers sought to induce the
+Galatians.
+
+4:11. I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among
+you.
+
+4:12. Be ye as I, because I also am as you brethren, I beseech you. You
+have not injured me at all.
+
+4:13. And you know how, through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the
+gospel to you heretofore: and your temptation in my flesh.
+
+4:14. You despised not, nor rejected: but received me as an angel of
+God, even as Christ Jesus.
+
+4:15. Where is then your blessedness? For I bear you witness that, if it
+could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes and would have
+given them to me.
+
+4:16. Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
+
+4:17. They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude
+you, that you might be zealous for them.
+
+4:18. But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and
+not only when I am present with you.
+
+4:19. My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be
+formed in you.
+
+4:20. And I would willingly be present with you now and change my voice:
+because I am ashamed for you.
+
+4:21. Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read
+the law?
+
+4:22. For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a
+bondwoman and the other by a free woman.
+
+4:23. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh:
+but he of the free woman was by promise.
+
+4:24. Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two
+testaments. The one from Mount Sina, engendering unto bondage, which is
+Agar.
+
+4:25. For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that
+Jerusalem which now is: and is in bondage with her children.
+
+4:26. But that Jerusalem which is above is free: which is our mother.
+
+4:27. For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break
+forth and cry thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the
+desolate, more than of her that hath a husband.
+
+4:28. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
+
+4:29. But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him
+that was after the spirit: so also it is now.
+
+4:30. But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son:
+for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free
+woman.
+
+4:31. So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman but of
+the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.
+
+Galatians Chapter 5
+
+He exhorts them to stand to their Christian liberty. Of the fruits of
+the flesh and of the spirit.
+
+5:1. Stand fast and be not held again under the yoke of bondage.
+
+5:2. Behold, I Paul tell you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall
+profit you nothing.
+
+5:3. And I testify again to every man circumcising himself that he is a
+debtor to do the whole law.
+
+5:4. You are made void of Christ, you who are justified in the law: you
+are fallen from grace.
+
+5:5. For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of justice.
+
+5:6. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing nor
+uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by Charity.
+
+5:7. You did run well. What hath hindered you, that you should not obey
+the truth?
+
+5:8. This persuasion is not from him that calleth you.
+
+5:9. A little leaven corrupteth the whole lump.
+
+5:10. I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will not be of
+another mind: but he that troubleth you shall bear the judgment,
+whosoever he be.
+
+5:11. And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer
+persecution? Then is the scandal of the cross made void.
+
+5:12. I would they were even cut off, who trouble you.
+
+5:13. For you, brethren, have been called unto liberty. Only make not
+liberty an occasion to the flesh: but by charity of the spirit serve one
+another.
+
+5:14. For all the law is fulfilled in one word: Thou shalt love thy
+neighbour as thyself.
+
+5:15. But if you bite and devour one another: take heed you be not
+consumed one of another.
+
+5:16. I say then: Walk in the spirit: and you shall not fulfill the
+lusts of the flesh.
+
+5:17. For the flesh lusteth against the spirit: and the spirit against
+the flesh: For these are contrary one to another: so that you do not the
+things that you would.
+
+5:18. But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law.
+
+5:19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest: which are fornication,
+uncleanness, immodesty, luxury,
+
+5:20. Idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths,
+quarrels, dissensions, sects,
+
+5:21. Envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like.  Of the
+which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such
+things shall not obtain the kingdom of God.
+
+5:22. But the fruit of the Spirit is, charity, joy, peace, patience,
+benignity, goodness, longanimity,
+
+5:23. Mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there
+is no law.
+
+5:24. And they that are Christ's have crucified their flesh, with the
+vices and concupiscences.
+
+5:25. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
+
+5:26. Let us not be made desirous of vain glory, provoking one another,
+envying one another.
+
+Galatians Chapter 6
+
+He exhorts to charity, humility and all virtue. He glories in nothing
+but in the cross of Christ.
+
+6:1. Brethren, and if a man be overtaken in any fault, you, who are
+spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering
+thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
+
+6:2. Bear ye one another's burdens: and so you shall fulfil the law of
+Christ.
+
+6:3. For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is
+nothing, he deceiveth himself.
+
+6:4. But let every one prove his own work: and so he shall have glory in
+himself only and not in another.
+
+6:5. For every one shall bear his own burden.
+
+6:6. And let him that is instructed in the word communicate to him that
+instructeth him, in all good things.
+
+6:7. Be not deceived: God is not mocked.
+
+6:8. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap.  For he
+that soweth in his flesh of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he
+that soweth in the spirit of the spirit shall reap life everlasting.
+
+6:9. And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap,
+not failing.
+
+6:10. Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but
+especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
+
+6:11. See what a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
+
+6:12. For as many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you
+to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer the persecution of the
+cross of Christ.
+
+6:13. For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law: but
+they will have you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
+
+6:14. But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord
+Jesus Christ: by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
+
+6:15. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor
+uncircumcision: but a new creature.
+
+6:16. And whosoever shall follow this rule, peace on them and mercy: and
+upon the Israel of God.
+
+6:17. From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me: for I bear the
+marks of the Lord Jesus in my body.
+
+6:18. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren.
+Amen.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").

+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other eBook medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
