"But 25 unto bondage, which is Hagar. "Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to the Jerusalem that (26 now is for she is in bondage with her children. the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother. (27) "For it is written, 29 30 Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: For more are the children of the desolate than of tha her which hath the husband. (28 "Now, we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. "But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. "Howbeit what saith the scripture? Cast out the handmaid and her son: for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman. "Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the 5(1) freewoman. With freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage. 31 2 5) Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circum3 cision, Christ will profit you nothing. "Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is 4 a debtor to do the whole law. "Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace. "For we through the Spirit by (6) faith wait for the hope of righteousness. "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncir7 cumcision; but faith working through love. "Ye were running well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey 8 the truth?

"For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy 15 neighbour as thyself. "But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. "For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things 18 that ye would. "But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are (19 not under the law. "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, fornication, uncleanness, las20 civiousness, "idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, (21 wraths, factions, divisions, heresies, "envyings, drunken ness, revellings, and such like: of the which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they which practise 22 such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

"For if a man thinketh himself to be something, 4 when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. "But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of 1his neighbour. "For each man shall bear his own burden. 3 5 2 6 But let him that is taught in the word communicate 7 unto him that teacheth in all good things. "Be not de ceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man 8 soweth, that shall he also reap. "For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life. "And let us not be weary in well-doing: for To in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. "So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith. 9 (II See with how large letters I have written unto you 12 with mine own hand. "As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the 13) cross of Christ.
