²⁰ for ye bear, if any one is bringing you under bondage, if any one doth devour, if any one doth take away, if any one doth exalt himself, if any one on the face doth smite you;

⁴ and `that' because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,

¹ In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free -- stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;

⁹ and now, having known God -- and rather being known by God -- how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude?

³ so also we, when we were babes, under the elements of the world were in servitude,

²⁴ not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.

⁵ for at no time did we come with speech of flattery, (as ye have known,) nor in a pretext for covetousness, (God `is' witness!)

¹⁹ whose end `is' destruction, whose god `is' the belly, and whose glory `is' in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.

¹² as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,

¹⁰ I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

²⁵ for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now `is', and is in servitude with her children,

¹¹ unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander about,

¹⁷ And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye away from them;

¹⁸ for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless,

²⁹ and to him smiting thee upon the cheek, give also the other, and from him taking away from thee the mantle, also the coat thou mayest not keep back.

³⁰ He giveth to his smiter the cheek, He is filled with reproach.

⁶ My back I have given to those smiting, And my cheeks to those plucking out, My face I hid not from shame and spitting.
