⁵ to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Gospel might continue with you.

¹⁴ But when I saw that they didn't walk uprightly according to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

¹ Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?

² I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

¹⁶ So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

⁵ because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Gospel,

⁴ Now this I say that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.

⁵ For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

⁶ As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him,

⁷ rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.

⁸ Be careful that you don't let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.

¹³ For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

³ Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
