Galatians 4:5-6: “to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. Galatians 3:11: “Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, ‘The righteous will live by faith.’' The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.'

Galatians 2:20: 'I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.” Galatians 2:16: “Know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. When Paul learned that this heresy was being taught to the Galatian churches, he composed an epistle to emphasize our liberty in Christ and to counter the perversion of the gospel that the Judaizers promoted. In other words, convert to Judaism first, and then you are eligible to become a Christian. In particular, the Judaizers insisted on circumcision as a requirement for Gentiles who wished to be saved. The essential truth of justification by faith rather than by human works was being denied by the Judaizers-legalistic Jews who insisted that Christians must keep the Mosaic Law. Galatians was written because the churches of that region were facing a theological crisis. Paul’s purpose in writing to these churches was to confirm them in the faith, especially concerning justification by faith alone, apart from the works of the Law of Moses. The churches in Galatia were comprised of both Jewish and Gentile converts. Galatians is likely the first New Testament book to be written, composed sometime soon after AD 49.

( AR) 23 They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith ( AS) he once tried to destroy.” ( AT) 24 And they praised God ( AU) because of me.Galatians 1:1 clearly identifies the apostle Paul as the writer of the epistle to the Galatians. ( AP) 22 I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea ( AQ) that are in Christ. ( AN)Ģ1 Then I went to Syria ( AO) and Cilicia. 20 I assure you before God ( AM) that what I am writing you is no lie. 19 I saw none of the other apostles-only James, ( AL) the Lord’s brother.

( AI)ġ8 Then after three years, ( AJ) I went up to Jerusalem ( AK) to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days. ( AH) 17 I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. ( AD) 15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb ( AE) and called me ( AF) by his grace, was pleased 16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, ( AG) my immediate response was not to consult any human being. ( AB) 14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people and was extremely zealous ( AC) for the traditions of my fathers. ( Y)ġ3 For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, ( Z) how intensely I persecuted the church of God ( AA) and tried to destroy it. 12 I did not receive it from any man, ( W) nor was I taught it rather, I received it by revelation ( X) from Jesus Christ. Paul Called by Godġ1 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, ( U) that the gospel I preached ( V) is not of human origin. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, ( Q) let them be under God’s curse! ( R) 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, ( S) let them be under God’s curse!ġ0 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? ( T) If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion ( O) and are trying to pervert ( P) the gospel of Christ. ( L) No Other GospelĦ I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called ( M) you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel ( N)- 7 which is really no gospel at all. 1 Paul, an apostle ( A)-sent not from men nor by a man, ( B) but by Jesus Christ ( C) and God the Father, ( D) who raised him from the dead ( E)- 2 and all the brothers and sisters with me, ( F)ģ Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, ( H) 4 who gave himself for our sins ( I) to rescue us from the present evil age, ( J) according to the will of our God and Father, ( K) 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever.
