¹⁸ for if the things I threw down, these again I build up, a transgressor I set myself forth;

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?

¹⁰ days ye observe, and months, and times, and years!

¹¹ I am afraid of you, lest in vain I did labour toward you.

¹² Become as I `am' -- because I also `am' as ye brethren, I beseech you; to me ye did no hurt,

¹⁵ and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died.

¹¹ and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died?

¹² and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience -- in regard to Christ ye sin;

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,

⁵ to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.

¹² for before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision,

¹³ and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.

¹⁴ But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, `If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?

¹⁵ we by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations,

¹⁶ having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

¹¹ And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away;

²¹ I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness `be' through law -- then Christ died in vain.
