Galatians 5:4

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

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

Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news”, which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.

and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.

Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

lest there should be among you man, woman, family, or tribe whose heart turns away today from Yahweh our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that produces bitter poison;

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting, unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.

They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Gehenna as yourselves.

Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”

We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

For the law produces wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain,

Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

not of works, that no one would boast.

Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.

looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it,

The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;

who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.

For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.

Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.

Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”

But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

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,

For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

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

Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,

Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.

He said to Abram, “Know for sure that your offspring will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years.

Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.

Yahweh said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.

that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;

For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he should be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;

Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

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

by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith,

holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.

(and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.

Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.

“I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.

But I said, “I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength in vain for nothing; yet surely the justice due to me is with Yahweh, and my reward with my God.”

He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch;

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,

Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

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;

For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

Now I say this: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,

but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
