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

⁵ because of this also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.

² and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run;

⁸ See to yourselves that ye may not lose the things that we wrought, but a full reward may receive;

¹⁶ the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

² lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing;

³ and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;

⁴ ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;

²⁰ and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.

²⁰ for I fear lest, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I -- I may be found by you such as ye do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,

²¹ lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise.

² for I am zealous for you with zeal of God, for I did betroth you to one husband, a pure virgin, to present to Christ,

³ and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that `is' in the Christ;

⁵⁸ so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

⁶ and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

⁴ And I said, `For a vain thing I laboured, For emptiness and vanity my power I consumed, But my judgment `is' with Jehovah, And my wage with my God.
