Galatians 5:10

But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.

For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes.

I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;

We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

And I wrote this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.

His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.

but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.

I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.

and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:

Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds,

Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.

Punish him with the rod, and save his soul from Sheol.

For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.

For those who are such don’t serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.

Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.

for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;

Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;

Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,

They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,

of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.

They went out from us, but they didn’t belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.

In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,

This punishment which was inflicted by the many is sufficient for such a one;

Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.

We have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.

Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.

and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.

For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on the face.

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.

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

I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.

but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.
