¹¹ I am in fear of you, that I may have been working for you to no purpose.

⁵ For this reason, when I was no longer able to keep quiet, I sent to get news of your faith, fearing that you might be tested by the Evil One and that our work might come to nothing.

² And I went up by revelation; and I put before them the good news which I was preaching among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were of good name, so that the work which I was or had been doing might not be without effect.

⁸ Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward.

¹⁶ Offering the word of life; so that I may have glory in you in the day of Christ, because my running was not for nothing and my work was not without effect.

² See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

³ Yes, I give witness again to every man who undergoes circumcision, that he will have to keep all the law.

⁴ You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.

²⁰ Truly my desire is to be present with you now, using a changed voice; for I am troubled about you.

²⁰ For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;

²¹ And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.

² For I have a very great care for you: because you have been married by me to one husband, and it is my desire to give you completely holy to Christ.

³ But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ.

⁵⁸ For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.

⁶ And after they had gone through the land of Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit did not let them take the word into Asia;

⁴ And I said, I have undergone weariness for nothing, I have given my strength for no purpose or profit: but still the Lord will take up my cause, and my God will give me my reward.
