(5)Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye are reprobate? (6)But I trust that ye shall know, that we are not reprobate. (7)Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye may do what is good, though we be as reprobate. (8)For we have no power against the truth, but for the truth. (9)For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are powerful; this also we pray for, even your perfection. (10)For this cause I write these things being absent, that when present I may not use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord gave me for edification, and not for destruction. (11)Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of the same mind, be at peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. (12)Salute one another with a holy kiss. (13)All the saints salute you. (14)The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE GALATIANS. I. PAUL, an apostle, not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from the dead, (2)and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia: (3)Grace to you, and peace, from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ; (4)who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father; (5)to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (6)I marvel that ye are so soon removing from him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel; (7)which is not another, except that there are some who trouble you, and wish to pervert the gospel of Christ. (8)But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach a gospel to you contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed. (9)As we have said before, so I now say again, if any one preaches a gospel to you contrary to that which ye received, let him be accursed. (10)For do I now seek the favor of men or of God? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I should not be Christ's servant. (11)Now I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man; (12)for I also did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but through the revelation of Jesus Christ. (13)For ye heard of my conduct formerly in Judaism; that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and was destroying it, (14)and pressed forward in Judaism beyond many companions of the same age in my nation, being more exceedingly a zealot for the traditions of my fathers.
