For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we(that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.

As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

And they glorified God in me.

But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:

But of these who seemed to be somewhat,(whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)

And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.

Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;

For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
