F. Weymouth + + + + +Book 48 Galatians + +001:001 Paul, an Apostle sent not from men nor by any man, + but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father, who raised Jesus + from among the dead-- + +001:002 and all the brethren who are with me: To the Churches of Galatia. + +001:003 May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father, + and from our Lord Jesus Christ, + +001:004 who gave Himself to suffer for our sins in order to rescue + us from the present wicked age in accordance with the will + of our God and Father. + +001:005 To Him be the glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen. + +001:006 I marvel that you are so readily leaving Him who called you by + the grace of Christ, and are adhering to a different Good News. + +001:007 For other "Good News" there is none; but there are some + persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort + the Good News concerning Christ. + +001:008 But if even we or an angel from Heaven should bring you a + Good News different from that which we have already brought you, + let him be accursed. + +001:009 What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you + a Good News other than that which you originally received, + let him be accursed. + +001:010 For is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? + Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, + I should not be Christ's bondservant. + +001:011 For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was + proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of. + +001:012 For, in fact, it was not from man that I received or learnt it, + but by a revelation from Jesus Christ. + +001:013 For you have heard of my early career in Judaism--how I furiously + persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of it; + +001:014 and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my + own age among my people, being far more zealous than they + on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers. + +001:015 But when He who set me apart even from my birth, and called + me by His grace, + +001:016 saw fit to reveal His Son within me in order that I might tell + among the Gentiles the Good News concerning Him, at once I + did not confer with any human being, + +001:017 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were my seniors + in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards + came back to Damascus. + +001:018 Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire + for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him. + +001:019 I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the Lord's brother. + +001:020 In making these assertions I am speaking the truth, + as in the sight of God. + +001:021 Afterwards I visited Syria and Cilicia. + +001:022 But to the Christian Churches in Judaea I was personally unknown. + +001:023 They only heard it said, "He who was once our persecutor + is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he + formerly made havoc." + +001:024 And they gave glory to God on my account. + +002:001 Later still, after an interval of fourteen years, I again + went up to Jerusalem in company with Barnabas, taking Titus + also with me. + +002:002 I went up in obedience to a revelation of God's will; + and I explained to them the Good News which I proclaim among + the Gentiles. To the leaders of the Church this explanation + was made in private, lest by any means I should be running, + or should already have run, in vain. + +002:003 But although my companion Titus was a Greek they did not insist + upon even his being circumcised. + +002:004 Yet there was danger of this through the false brethren + secretly introduced into the Church, who had stolen in to spy + out the freedom which is ours in Christ Jesus, in order to rob + us of it. + +002:005 But not for an hour did we give way and submit to them; + in order that the Good News might continue with you + in its integrity. + +002:006 From those leaders I gained nothing new. Whether they + were men of importance or not, matters nothing to me-- + God recognizes no external distinctions. To me, at any rate, + the leaders imparted nothing new. + +002:007 Indeed, when they saw that I was entrusted with the preaching + of the Good News to the Gentiles as Peter had been with that + to the Jews-- + +002:008 for He who had been at work within Peter with a view to his + Apostleship to the Jews had also been at work within me + with a view to my Apostleship to the Gentiles-- + +002:009 and when they perceived the mission which was graciously + entrusted to me, they (that is to say, James, Peter, and John, + who were considered to be the pillars of the Church) + welcomed Barnabas and me to their fellowship on the understanding + that we were to go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews. + +002:010 Only they urged that we should remember their poor--a thing + which was uppermost in my own mind. + +002:011 Now when Peter visited Antioch, I remonstrated with him to his face, + because he had incurred just censure. + +002:012 For until certain persons came from James he had been accustomed + to eat with Gentiles; but as soon as these persons came, he withdrew + and separated himself for fear of the Circumcision party. + +002:013 And along with him the other Jews also concealed their + real opinions, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their + lack of straightforwardness. + +002:014 As soon as I saw that they were not walking uprightly in the spirit + of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, "If you, + though you are a Jew, live as a Gentile does, and not as a Jew, + how can you make the Gentiles follow Jewish customs? + +002:015 You and I, though we are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners, + +002:016 know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man + can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith + in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, + for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, + through faith in Christ and not through obedience to Law. + For through obedience to Law no human being shall be declared + free from guilt. + +002:017 But if while we are seeking in Christ acquittal from guilt we + ourselves are convicted of sin, Christ then encourages us + to sin! No, indeed. + +002:018 Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I + had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor; + +002:019 for it is by the Law that I have died to the Law, in order + that I may live to God. + +002:020 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, + but Christ that lives in me; and the life which I now live + in the body I live through faith in the Son of God who loved + me and gave Himself up to death on my behalf. + +002:021 I do not nullify the grace of God; for if acquittal from guilt + is obtainable through the Law, then Christ has died in vain." + +003:001 You foolish Galatians! Whose sophistry has bewitched you-- + you to whom Jesus Christ has been vividly portrayed as + on the Cross? + +003:002 Answer me this one question, "Is it on the ground of your obedience + to the Law that you received the Spirit, or is it because, + when you heard, you believed?" + +003:003 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now + going to reach perfection through what is external? + +003:004 Have you endured such sufferings to no purpose--if indeed it + has been to no purpose? + +003:005 He who gives you His Spirit and works miracles among you-- + does He do so on the ground of your obedience to the Law, + or is it the result of your having heard and believed: + +003:006 even as Abraham believed God, and his faith was placed to his + account as righteousness? + +003:007 Notice therefore that those who possess faith are true + sons of Abraham. + +003:008 And the Scripture, foreseeing that in consequence of faith + God would declare the nations to be free from guilt, + sent beforehand the Good News to Abraham, saying, "In you + all the nations shall be blessed." + +003:009 So we see that it is those who possess faith that are blessed + with believing Abraham. + +003:010 All who are depending upon their own obedience to the Law + are under a curse, for it is written, "Cursed is every one + who does not remain faithful to all the precepts of the Law, + and practise them." + +003:011 It is evident, too, that no one can find acceptance with God + simply by obeying the Law, because "the righteous shall + live by faith," + +003:012 and the Law has nothing to do with faith. It teaches that "he + who does these things shall live by doing them." + +003:013 Christ has purchased our freedom from the curse of the Law + by becoming accursed for us--because "Cursed is every one + who is hanged upon a tree." + +003:014 Our freedom has been thus purchased in order that in Christ Jesus + the blessing belonging to Abraham may come upon the nations, + so that through faith we may receive the promised Spirit. + +003:015 Brethren, even a covenant made by a man--to borrow an illustration + from daily life--when once formally sanctioned is not liable + to be set aside or added to. + +003:016 (Now the promises were given to Abraham and to his seed. + God did not say "and to seeds," as if speaking of many, + but "and to your seed," since He spoke of only one-- + and this is Christ.) + +003:017 I mean that the Covenant which God had already formally made + is not abrogated by the Law which was given four hundred + and thirty years later--so as to annul the promise. + +003:018 For if the inheritance comes through obedience to Law, it no + longer comes because of a promise. But, as a matter of fact, + God has granted it to Abraham in fulfilment of a promise. + +003:019 Why then was the Law given? It was imposed later on for the sake + of defining sin, until the seed should come to whom God had + made the promise; and its details were laid down by a mediator + with the help of angels. + +003:020 But there cannot be a mediator where only one individual + is concerned. + +003:021 God, however, is only one. Is the Law then opposed to the promises + of God? No, indeed; for if a Law had been given which could + have conferred Life, righteousness would certainly have come + by the Law. + +003:022 But Scripture has shown that all mankind are the prisoners of sin, + in order that the promised blessing, which depends on faith + in Jesus Christ, may be given to those who believe. + +003:023 Before this faith came, we Jews were perpetual prisoners under + the Law, living under restraints and limitations in preparation + for the faith which was soon to be revealed. + +003:024 So that the Law has acted the part of a tutor-slave to lead + us to Christ, in order that through faith we may be declared + to be free from guilt. + +003:025 But now that this faith has come, we are no longer + under a tutor-slave. + +003:026 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus; + +003:027 for all of you who have been baptized into Christ, have clothed + yourselves with Christ. + +003:028 In Him the distinctions between Jew and Gentile, slave and free man, + male and female, disappear; you are all one in Christ Jesus. + +003:029 And if you belong to Christ, then you are indeed true descendants + of Abraham, and are heirs in fulfilment of the promise. + +004:001 Now I say that so long as an heir is a child, he in no respect + differs from a slave, although he is the owner of everything, + +004:002 but he is under the control of guardians and trustees until + the time his father has appointed. + +004:003 So we also, when spiritually we were children, were subject + to the world's rudimentary notions, and were enslaved. + +004:004 But, when the time was fully come, God sent forth His Son, + born of a woman, born subject to Law, + +004:005 in order to purchase the freedom of all who were subject to Law, + so that we might receive recognition as sons. + +004:006 And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of His Son + to enter your hearts and cry "Abba! our Father!" + +004:007 Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, + then an heir also through God's own act. + +004:008 But at one time, you Gentiles, having no knowledge of God, + were slaves to gods which in reality do not exist. + +004:009 Now, however, having come to know God--or rather to be known by Him-- + how is it you are again turning back to weak and worthless + rudimentary notions to which you are once more willing + to be enslaved? + +004:010 You scrupulously observe days and months, special seasons, and years. + +004:011 I am alarmed about you, and am afraid that I have perhaps + bestowed labour upon you to no purpose. + +004:012 Brethren, become as I am, I beseech you; for I have also become + like you. In no respect did you behave badly to me. + +004:013 And you know that in those early days it was on account + of bodily infirmity that I proclaimed the Good News to you, + +004:014 and yet the bodily infirmity which was such a trial to you, + you did not regard with contempt or loathing, but you received + me as if I had been an angel of God or Christ Jesus Himself! + +004:015 I ask you, then, what has become of your self-congratulations? + For I bear you witness that had it been possible you would + have torn out your own eyes and have given them to me. + +004:016 Can it be that I have become your enemy through speaking + the truth to you? + +004:017 These men pay court to you, but not with honourable motives. + They want to exclude you, so that you may pay court to them. + +004:018 It is always an honourable thing to be courted in an honourable cause; + always, and not only when I am with you, my children-- + +004:019 you for whom I am again, as it were, undergoing the pains + of childbirth, until Christ is fully formed within you. + +004:020 Would that I were with you and could change my tone, for I am + perplexed about you. + +004:021 Tell me--you who want to continue to be subject to Law-- + will you not listen to the Law? + +004:022 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave-girl + and one by the free woman. + +004:023 But we see that the child of the slave-girl was born in the common + course of nature; but the child of the free woman in fulfilment + of the promise. + +004:024 All this is allegorical; for the women represent two Covenants. + One has its origin on Mount Sinai, and bears children + destined for slavery. + +004:025 This is Hagar; for the name Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia, + and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, which is in bondage + together with her children. + +004:026 But the Jerusalem which is above is free, and *she* is *our* mother. + +004:027 For it is written, "Rejoice, thou barren woman that bearest not, + break forth into a joyful cry, thou that dost not travail + with child. For the desolate woman has many children-- + more indeed than she who has the husband." + +004:028 But you, brethren, like Isaac, are children born in fulfilment + of a promise. + +004:029 Yet just as, at that time, the child born in the common course + of nature persecuted the one whose birth was due to the power + of the Spirit, so it is now. + +004:030 But what says the Scripture? "Send away the slave-girl and her son, + for never shall the slave-girl's son share the inheritance + with the son of the free woman." + +004:031 Therefore, brethren, since we are not the children of a slave-girl, + but of the free woman-- + +005:001 Christ having made us gloriously free--stand fast and do not + again be hampered with the yoke of slavery. + +005:002 Remember that it is I Paul who tell you that if you receive + circumcision Christ will avail you nothing. + +005:003 I once more protest to every man who receives circumcision + that he is under obligation to obey the whole Law of Moses. + +005:004 Christ has become nothing to any of you who are seeking acceptance + with God through the Law: you have fallen away from grace. + +005:005 *We* have not, for through the Spirit we wait with longing hope + for an acceptance with God which is to come through faith. + +005:006 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision + is of any importance; but only faith working through love. + +005:007 You were running the race nobly! Who has interfered and caused + you to swerve from the truth? + +005:008 No such teaching ever proceeded from Him who is calling you. + +005:009 A little yeast corrupts the whole of the dough. + +005:010 For my part I have strong confidence in you in the Lord + that you will adopt my view of the matter. But the man-- + be he who he may--who is troubling you, will have to bear + the full weight of the judgement to be pronounced on him. + +005:011 As for me, brethren, if I am still a preacher of circumcision, + how is it that I am still suffering persecution? + In that case the Cross has ceased to be a stumbling-block! + +005:012 Would to God that those who are unsettling your faith would + even mutilate themselves. + +005:013 You however, brethren, were called to freedom. Only do not turn + your freedom into an excuse for giving way to your lower natures; + but become bondservants to one another in a spirit of love. + +005:014 For the entire Law has been obeyed when you have kept + the single precept, which says, "You are to love your fellow + man equally with yourself." + +005:015 But if you are perpetually snarling and snapping at one another, + beware lest you are destroyed by one another. + +005:016 This then is what I mean. Let your lives be guided by the Spirit, + and then you will certainly not indulge the cravings of + your lower natures. + +005:017 For the cravings of the lower nature are opposed to those of + the Spirit, and the cravings of the Spirit are opposed to those of + the lower nature; because these are antagonistic to each other, + so that you cannot do everything to which you are inclined. + +005:018 But if the Spirit is leading you, you are not subject to Law. + +005:019 Now you know full well the doings of our lower natures. + Fornication, impurity, indecency, idol-worship, sorcery; + +005:020 enmity, strife, jealousy, outbursts of passion, intrigues, + dissensions, factions, envyings; + +005:021 hard drinking, riotous feasting, and the like. And as to + these I forewarn you, as I have already forewarned you, + that those who are guilty of such things will have no share + in the Kingdom of God. + +005:022 The Spirit, on the other hand, brings a harvest of love, + joy, peace; patience towards others, kindness, benevolence; + +005:023 good faith, meekness, self-restraint. + +005:024 Against such things as these there is no law. Now those who + belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their lower nature + with its passions and appetites. + +005:025 If we are living by the Spirit's power, let our conduct also be + governed by the Spirit's power. + +005:026 Let us not become vain-glorious, challenging one another, + envying one another. + +006:001 Brethren, if anybody be detected in any misconduct, you who are + spiritual should restore such a one in a spirit of meekness. + And let each of you keep watch over himself, lest he also + fall into temptation. + +006:002 Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole + of Christ's Law. + +006:003 For if there is any one who thinks himself to be somebody + when he is nobody, he is deluding himself. + +006:004 But let every man scrutinize his own conduct, and then he will + find out, not with reference to another but with reference + to himself, what he has to boast of. + +006:005 For every man will have to carry his own load. + +006:006 But let those who receive instruction in Christian truth share + with their instructors all temporal blessings. + +006:007 Do not deceive yourselves. God is not to be scoffed at. + For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. + +006:008 He who sows in the field of his lower nature, will from that + nature reap destruction; but he who sows to serve the Spirit + will from the Spirit reap the Life of the Ages. + +006:009 Let us not abate our courage in doing what is right; + for in due time we shall reap a reward, if we do not faint. + +006:010 So then, as we have opportunity, let us labour for the good + of all, and especially of those who belong to the household + of the faith. + +006:011 See in what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. + +006:012 All who desire to display their zeal for external observances try + to compel you to receive circumcision, but their real object + is simply to escape being persecuted for the Cross of Christ. + +006:013 For these very men do not really keep the Law of Moses, + but they would have you receive circumcision in order that they + may glory in *your* bodies. + +006:014 But as for me, God forbid that I should glory in anything except + the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world + is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world. + +006:015 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; + but only a renewed nature. + +006:016 And all who shall regulate their lives by this principle-- + may peace and mercy be given to them--and to the true + Israel of God. + +006:017 From this time onward let no one trouble me; for, as for me, + I bear, branded on my body, the scars of Jesus as my Master. + +006:018 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your + spirits, brethren.

Amen. +001:006 I marvel that you are so readily leaving Him who called you by + the grace of Christ, and are adhering to a different Good News. +001:007 For other "Good News" there is none; but there are some + persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort + the Good News concerning Christ. +001:008 But if even we or an angel from Heaven should bring you a + Good News different from that which we have already brought you, + let him be accursed. +001:009 What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you + a Good News other than that which you originally received, + let him be accursed. +001:010 For is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? + Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, + I should not be Christ's bondservant. +001:011 For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was + proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of. +001:012 For, in fact, it was not from man that I received or learnt it, + but by a revelation from Jesus Christ. +001:013 For you have heard of my early career in Judaism--how I furiously + persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of it; +001:014 and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my + own age among my people, being far more zealous than they + on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers. +001:015 But when He who set me apart even from my birth, and called + me by His grace, +001:016 saw fit to reveal His Son within me in order that I might tell + among the Gentiles the Good News concerning Him, at once I + did not confer with any human being, +001:017 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were my seniors + in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards + came back to Damascus. +001:018 Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire + for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him. +001:019 I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the Lord's brother. +001:020 In making these assertions I am speaking the truth, + as in the sight of God. +001:021 Afterwards I visited Syria and Cilicia. +001:022 But to the Christian Churches in Judaea I was personally unknown. +001:023 They only heard it said, "He who was once our persecutor + is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he + formerly made havoc." +001:024 And they gave glory to God on my account. +002:001 Later still, after an interval of fourteen years, I again + went up to Jerusalem in company with Barnabas, taking Titus + also with me. +002:002 I went up in obedience to a revelation of God's will; + and I explained to them the Good News which I proclaim among + the Gentiles. To the leaders of the Church this explanation + was made in private, lest by any means I should be running, + or should already have run, in vain. +002:003 But although my companion Titus was a Greek they did not insist + upon even his being circumcised. +002:004 Yet there was danger of this through the false brethren + secretly introduced into the Church, who had stolen in to spy + out the freedom which is ours in Christ Jesus, in order to rob + us of it. +002:005 But not for an hour did we give way and submit to them; + in order that the Good News might continue with you + in its integrity. +002:006 From those leaders I gained nothing new. Whether they + were men of importance or not, matters nothing to me-- + God recognizes no external distinctions. To me, at any rate, + the leaders imparted nothing new. +002:007 Indeed, when they saw that I was entrusted with the preaching + of the Good News to the Gentiles as Peter had been with that + to the Jews-- +002:008 for He who had been at work within Peter with a view to his + Apostleship to the Jews had also been at work within me + with a view to my Apostleship to the Gentiles-- +002:009 and when they perceived the mission which was graciously + entrusted to me, they (that is to say, James, Peter, and John, + who were considered to be the pillars of the Church) + welcomed Barnabas and me to their fellowship on the understanding + that we were to go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews. +002:010 Only they urged that we should remember their poor--a thing + which was uppermost in my own mind. +002:011 Now when Peter visited Antioch, I remonstrated with him to his face, + because he had incurred just censure. +002:012 For until certain persons came from James he had been accustomed + to eat with Gentiles; but as soon as these persons came, he withdrew + and separated himself for fear of the Circumcision party. +002:013 And along with him the other Jews also concealed their + real opinions, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their + lack of straightforwardness. +002:014 As soon as I saw that they were not walking uprightly in the spirit + of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, "If you, + though you are a Jew, live as a Gentile does, and not as a Jew, + how can you make the Gentiles follow Jewish customs? +002:015 You and I, though we are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners, +002:016 know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man + can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith + in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, + for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, + through faith in Christ and not through obedience to Law. + For through obedience to Law no human being shall be declared + free from guilt. +002:017 But if while we are seeking in Christ acquittal from guilt we + ourselves are convicted of sin, Christ then encourages us + to sin! No, indeed. +002:018 Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I + had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor; +002:019 for it is by the Law that I have died to the Law, in order + that I may live to God. +002:020 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, + but Christ that lives in me; and the life which I now live + in the body I live through faith in the Son of God who loved + me and gave Himself up to death on my behalf. +002:021 I do not nullify the grace of God; for if acquittal from guilt + is obtainable through the Law, then Christ has died in vain." +003:001 You foolish Galatians! Whose sophistry has bewitched you-- + you to whom Jesus Christ has been vividly portrayed as + on the Cross? +003:002 Answer me this one question, "Is it on the ground of your obedience + to the Law that you received the Spirit, or is it because, + when you heard, you believed?" +003:003 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now + going to reach perfection through what is external? +003:004 Have you endured such sufferings to no purpose--if indeed it + has been to no purpose? +003:005 He who gives you His Spirit and works miracles among you-- + does He do so on the ground of your obedience to the Law, + or is it the result of your having heard and believed: +003:006 even as Abraham believed God, and his faith was placed to his + account as righteousness? +003:007 Notice therefore that those who possess faith are true + sons of Abraham. +003:008 And the Scripture, foreseeing that in consequence of faith + God would declare the nations to be free from guilt, + sent beforehand the Good News to Abraham, saying, "In you + all the nations shall be blessed." +003:009 So we see that it is those who possess faith that are blessed + with believing Abraham. +003:010 All who are depending upon their own obedience to the Law + are under a curse, for it is written, "Cursed is every one + who does not remain faithful to all the precepts of the Law, + and practise them." +003:011 It is evident, too, that no one can find acceptance with God + simply by obeying the Law, because "the righteous shall + live by faith," +003:012 and the Law has nothing to do with faith. It teaches that "he + who does these things shall live by doing them." +003:013 Christ has purchased our freedom from the curse of the Law + by becoming accursed for us--because "Cursed is every one + who is hanged upon a tree." +003:014 Our freedom has been thus purchased in order that in Christ Jesus + the blessing belonging to Abraham may come upon the nations, + so that through faith we may receive the promised Spirit. +003:015 Brethren, even a covenant made by a man--to borrow an illustration + from daily life--when once formally sanctioned is not liable + to be set aside or added to. +003:016 (Now the promises were given to Abraham and to his seed. + God did not say "and to seeds," as if speaking of many, + but "and to your seed," since He spoke of only one-- + and this is Christ.) +003:017 I mean that the Covenant which God had already formally made + is not abrogated by the Law which was given four hundred + and thirty years later--so as to annul the promise. +003:018 For if the inheritance comes through obedience to Law, it no + longer comes because of a promise. But, as a matter of fact, + God has granted it to Abraham in fulfilment of a promise. +003:019 Why then was the Law given? It was imposed later on for the sake + of defining sin, until the seed should come to whom God had + made the promise; and its details were laid down by a mediator + with the help of angels. +003:020 But there cannot be a mediator where only one individual + is concerned. +003:021 God, however, is only one. Is the Law then opposed to the promises + of God? No, indeed; for if a Law had been given which could + have conferred Life, righteousness would certainly have come + by the Law. +003:022 But Scripture has shown that all mankind are the prisoners of sin, + in order that the promised blessing, which depends on faith + in Jesus Christ, may be given to those who believe. +003:023 Before this faith came, we Jews were perpetual prisoners under + the Law, living under restraints and limitations in preparation + for the faith which was soon to be revealed. +003:024 So that the Law has acted the part of a tutor-slave to lead + us to Christ, in order that through faith we may be declared + to be free from guilt. +003:025 But now that this faith has come, we are no longer + under a tutor-slave. +003:026 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus; +003:027 for all of you who have been baptized into Christ, have clothed + yourselves with Christ. +003:028 In Him the distinctions between Jew and Gentile, slave and free man, + male and female, disappear; you are all one in Christ Jesus. +003:029 And if you belong to Christ, then you are indeed true descendants + of Abraham, and are heirs in fulfilment of the promise. +004:001 Now I say that so long as an heir is a child, he in no respect + differs from a slave, although he is the owner of everything, +004:002 but he is under the control of guardians and trustees until + the time his father has appointed. +004:003 So we also, when spiritually we were children, were subject + to the world's rudimentary notions, and were enslaved. +004:004 But, when the time was fully come, God sent forth His Son, + born of a woman, born subject to Law, +004:005 in order to purchase the freedom of all who were subject to Law, + so that we might receive recognition as sons. +004:006 And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of His Son + to enter your hearts and cry "Abba! our Father!" +004:007 Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, + then an heir also through God's own act. +004:008 But at one time, you Gentiles, having no knowledge of God, + were slaves to gods which in reality do not exist. +004:009 Now, however, having come to know God--or rather to be known by Him-- + how is it you are again turning back to weak and worthless + rudimentary notions to which you are once more willing + to be enslaved? +004:010 You scrupulously observe days and months, special seasons, and years. +004:011 I am alarmed about you, and am afraid that I have perhaps + bestowed labour upon you to no purpose. +004:012 Brethren, become as I am, I beseech you; for I have also become + like you. In no respect did you behave badly to me. +004:013 And you know that in those early days it was on account + of bodily infirmity that I proclaimed the Good News to you, +004:014 and yet the bodily infirmity which was such a trial to you, + you did not regard with contempt or loathing, but you received + me as if I had been an angel of God or Christ Jesus Himself! +004:015 I ask you, then, what has become of your self-congratulations? + For I bear you witness that had it been possible you would + have torn out your own eyes and have given them to me. +004:016 Can it be that I have become your enemy through speaking + the truth to you? +004:017 These men pay court to you, but not with honourable motives. + They want to exclude you, so that you may pay court to them. +004:018 It is always an honourable thing to be courted in an honourable cause; + always, and not only when I am with you, my children-- +004:019 you for whom I am again, as it were, undergoing the pains + of childbirth, until Christ is fully formed within you. +004:020 Would that I were with you and could change my tone, for I am + perplexed about you. +004:021 Tell me--you who want to continue to be subject to Law-- + will you not listen to the Law? +004:022 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave-girl + and one by the free woman. +004:023 But we see that the child of the slave-girl was born in the common + course of nature; but the child of the free woman in fulfilment + of the promise. +004:024 All this is allegorical; for the women represent two Covenants. + One has its origin on Mount Sinai, and bears children + destined for slavery. +004:025 This is Hagar; for the name Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia, + and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, which is in bondage + together with her children. +004:026 But the Jerusalem which is above is free, and *she* is *our* mother. +004:027 For it is written, "Rejoice, thou barren woman that bearest not, + break forth into a joyful cry, thou that dost not travail + with child. For the desolate woman has many children-- + more indeed than she who has the husband." +004:028 But you, brethren, like Isaac, are children born in fulfilment + of a promise. +004:029 Yet just as, at that time, the child born in the common course + of nature persecuted the one whose birth was due to the power + of the Spirit, so it is now. +004:030 But what says the Scripture? "Send away the slave-girl and her son, + for never shall the slave-girl's son share the inheritance + with the son of the free woman." +004:031 Therefore, brethren, since we are not the children of a slave-girl, + but of the free woman-- +005:001 Christ having made us gloriously free--stand fast and do not + again be hampered with the yoke of slavery. +005:002 Remember that it is I Paul who tell you that if you receive + circumcision Christ will avail you nothing. +005:003 I once more protest to every man who receives circumcision + that he is under obligation to obey the whole Law of Moses. +005:004 Christ has become nothing to any of you who are seeking acceptance + with God through the Law: you have fallen away from grace. +005:005 *We* have not, for through the Spirit we wait with longing hope + for an acceptance with God which is to come through faith. +005:006 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision + is of any importance; but only faith working through love. +005:007 You were running the race nobly! Who has interfered and caused + you to swerve from the truth? +005:008 No such teaching ever proceeded from Him who is calling you. +005:009 A little yeast corrupts the whole of the dough. +005:010 For my part I have strong confidence in you in the Lord + that you will adopt my view of the matter. But the man-- + be he who he may--who is troubling you, will have to bear + the full weight of the judgement to be pronounced on him. +005:011 As for me, brethren, if I am still a preacher of circumcision, + how is it that I am still suffering persecution? + In that case the Cross has ceased to be a stumbling-block! +005:012 Would to God that those who are unsettling your faith would + even mutilate themselves. +005:013 You however, brethren, were called to freedom. Only do not turn + your freedom into an excuse for giving way to your lower natures; + but become bondservants to one another in a spirit of love. +005:014 For the entire Law has been obeyed when you have kept + the single precept, which says, "You are to love your fellow + man equally with yourself." +005:015 But if you are perpetually snarling and snapping at one another, + beware lest you are destroyed by one another. +005:016 This then is what I mean. Let your lives be guided by the Spirit, + and then you will certainly not indulge the cravings of + your lower natures. +005:017 For the cravings of the lower nature are opposed to those of + the Spirit, and the cravings of the Spirit are opposed to those of + the lower nature; because these are antagonistic to each other, + so that you cannot do everything to which you are inclined. +005:018 But if the Spirit is leading you, you are not subject to Law. +005:019 Now you know full well the doings of our lower natures. + Fornication, impurity, indecency, idol-worship, sorcery; +005:020 enmity, strife, jealousy, outbursts of passion, intrigues, + dissensions, factions, envyings; +005:021 hard drinking, riotous feasting, and the like. And as to + these I forewarn you, as I have already forewarned you, + that those who are guilty of such things will have no share + in the Kingdom of God. +005:022 The Spirit, on the other hand, brings a harvest of love, + joy, peace; patience towards others, kindness, benevolence; +005:023 good faith, meekness, self-restraint. +005:024 Against such things as these there is no law. Now those who + belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their lower nature + with its passions and appetites. +005:025 If we are living by the Spirit's power, let our conduct also be + governed by the Spirit's power. +005:026 Let us not become vain-glorious, challenging one another, + envying one another. +006:001 Brethren, if anybody be detected in any misconduct, you who are + spiritual should restore such a one in a spirit of meekness. + And let each of you keep watch over himself, lest he also + fall into temptation. +006:002 Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole + of Christ's Law. +006:003 For if there is any one who thinks himself to be somebody + when he is nobody, he is deluding himself. +006:004 But let every man scrutinize his own conduct, and then he will + find out, not with reference to another but with reference + to himself, what he has to boast of. +006:005 For every man will have to carry his own load. +006:006 But let those who receive instruction in Christian truth share + with their instructors all temporal blessings. +006:007 Do not deceive yourselves. God is not to be scoffed at. + For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. +006:008 He who sows in the field of his lower nature, will from that + nature reap destruction; but he who sows to serve the Spirit + will from the Spirit reap the Life of the Ages. +006:009 Let us not abate our courage in doing what is right; + for in due time we shall reap a reward, if we do not faint. +006:010 So then, as we have opportunity, let us labour for the good + of all, and especially of those who belong to the household + of the faith. +006:011 See in what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. +006:012 All who desire to display their zeal for external observances try + to compel you to receive circumcision, but their real object + is simply to escape being persecuted for the Cross of Christ. +006:013 For these very men do not really keep the Law of Moses, + but they would have you receive circumcision in order that they + may glory in *your* bodies. +006:014 But as for me, God forbid that I should glory in anything except + the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world + is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world. +006:015 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; + but only a renewed nature. +006:016 And all who shall regulate their lives by this principle-- + may peace and mercy be given to them--and to the true + Israel of God. +006:017 From this time onward let no one trouble me; for, as for me, + I bear, branded on my body, the scars of Jesus as my Master. +006:018 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your + spirits, brethren. Amen. + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Galatians *** + +This file should be named wnt0910.txt or wnt0910.zip +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks get a new NUMBER, wnt0911.txt +VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, wnt0910a.txt + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
