{\MT GALATIANS



\par }\ChapOne{CHAPTER 1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul the apostle, not of men, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, that raised him from death,


\par }{\PP \VS{2}and all the brethren that be with me, to the churches of Galatia,


\par }{\PP \VS{3}grace to you and peace of God the Father, and of the Lord Jesus Christ,


\par }{\PP \VS{4}that gave himself for our sins, to deliver us from the present wicked world, by the will of God and our Father,


\par }{\PP \VS{5}to whom is honour and glory into worlds of worlds. Amen.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}I wonder, that so soon ye be thus moved from him that called you into the grace of Christ, into another evangel
{\ADD{[or another gospel]}};


\par }{\PP \VS{7}which is not another, but that there be some that trouble you, and will mis-turn the evangel of Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}But though we, or an angel of heaven, preached to you, besides that that we have preached to you, be he accursed.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}As I have said before, and now again I say, if any
{\EM{man}} preach to you besides that that ye have received, be he accursed
{\ADD{[or cursed be he]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}For now whether counsel I men, or God? or whether I seek to please men? If I pleased yet men, I were not Christ’s servant.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}For, brethren, I make known to you the evangel
{\ADD{[or the gospel]}}, that was preached of me, for it is not by man;


\par }{\PP \VS{12}nor I took it of man, nor learned, but by
{\ADD{[the]}} revelation of Jesus Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}For ye have heard my conver-sation sometime in the Jewry, that I pursued surpassingly,
{\ADD{[or over-manner, or over-measure]}}, the church of God, and fought against it.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}And I profited in the Jewry above many of mine even-elders in my kindred, and was more abundantly a follower
{\ADD{[or a lover]}} of my fathers’ traditions.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}But when it pleased him, that parted me from my mother’s womb, and called by his grace,


\par }{\PP \VS{16}to show his Son in me, that I should preach him among the heathen, anon I drew me not to flesh and blood;


\par }{\PP \VS{17}nor I came to Jerusalem to the apostles, that were before me, but I went into Arabia, and again I turned again into Damascus.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}And since three years after I came to Jerusalem
{\ADD{[or Afterward after three years I came to Jerusalem]}}, to see Peter, and I dwelled with him fifteen days;


\par }{\PP \VS{19}but I saw none other of the apostles, but James,
{\EM{our}} Lord’s brother.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}And these things which I write to you, lo! before God I lie not.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}Afterward I came into the coasts of Syria and Cilicia.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}But I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, that were in Christ;


\par }{\PP \VS{23}and they had only an hearing, that he that pursued us sometime, preacheth now the faith, against which he fought sometime;


\par }{\PP \VS{24}and in me they glorified God.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And since fourteen years after
{\ADD{[or Afterward after fourteen years]}}, again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took with me Titus.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}I went up by revelation, and spake with them the evangel
{\ADD{[or the gospel]}}, which I preach among the heathen; and by themselves to these that seemed to be somewhat, lest I run
{\ADD{[or lest peradventure I should run]}}, or had run in vain.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}And neither Titus, that had been with me, while he was heathen, was compelled to be circumcised;


\par }{\PP \VS{4}but for false brethren that were brought in, which had
{\ADD{[privily]}} entered to espy our freedom
{\ADD{[or our liberty]}}, which we have in Jesus Christ, to bring
{\ADD{[or to drive]}} us into servage.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}But we gave no place to subjection, that the truth of the gospel should dwell with you.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}But of these that seemed to be somewhat; which they were some-time, it pertaineth not to me, for God taketh not the person of man; for they that seemed to be somewhat, gave me nothing.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}But on the contrary, when they had seen, that the evangel of prepuce was given to me
{\ADD{[or that the gospel of heathen men is betaken to me]}}, as the evangel of circumcision
{\EM{was given}} to Peter;


\par }{\PP \VS{8}for he that wrought to Peter in apostlehood of circumcision, wrought also to me among the heathen;


\par }{\PP \VS{9}and when they had known the grace
{\EM{of God}}, that was given to me, James, and Peter
{\ADD{[or Cephas]}}, and John, which were seen to be the pillars, they gave the right hand of fellowship to me and to Barnabas, that we
{\ADD{[preach]}} among the heathen, and they into the circumcision;


\par }{\PP \VS{10}only that we had mind of,
{\ADD{[or that we should be mindful of]}}, poor men, the which thing I was full busy to do.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}But when Peter was come to Antioch, I against-stood him in the face, for he was worthy to be reproved.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}For before that there came some men from James
{\ADD{[or before that some came from James]}}, he ate with heathen men; but when they were come, he withdrew, and departed him, dreading them that were of circumcision.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}And the other
{\EM{Jews}} assented
{\ADD{[or consented]}} to his feigning, so that Barnabas was drawn of them into that feigning.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}But when I saw, that they walked not rightly to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter
{\ADD{[or to Cephas]}} before all men, If thou, that art a Jew, livest heathen-like, and not Jew-like, how constrainest thou heathen men to become Jews?


\par }{\PP \VS{15}We Jews of kind, and not sinful men of the heathen,


\par }{\PP \VS{16}know that a man is not justified of the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ; and we believe in Jesus Christ, that we be justified of
{\ADD{[or by]}} the faith of Christ, and not of the works of the law. Wherefore of the works of the law each flesh shall not be justified.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}And if we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves be found sinful men
{\ADD{[or to be sinners]}}, whether Christ be minister of sin? God forbid.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}And if I build again things that I have destroyed, I make myself a trespasser.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}For by the law I am dead to the law,
{\ADD{[For by the law I am dead to the law, that I live to God;]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{20}and I am fixed to the cross, that I live to God with Christ. And now live not I, but Christ liveth in me. But that I live now in flesh, I live in the faith of God’s Son, that loved me, and gave himself for me.
{\ADD{[with Christ I am fixed to the cross. Forsooth I live now, not I, but Christ liveth in me. Forsooth that I live now in flesh, I live in the faith of God’s son, the which loved me, and betook himself for me.]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{21}I cast not away the grace of God; for if rightwiseness be through
{\ADD{[or is by]}} law, then Christ died without cause.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}O! unwitting Galatians, before whose eyes Jesus Christ is exiled,
{\ADD{[or O! ye witless men of Galatia, before whose eyes Jesus Christ is damned or condemned]}}, and is crucified in you, who hath deceived you, that ye obey not to truth?


\par }{\PP \VS{2}This only I desire to learn of you, whether ye have received the Spirit of the works of the law, or of hearing of belief?


\par }{\PP \VS{3}So ye be fools, that when ye have begun in Spirit,
{\ADD{[now]}} ye be ended in flesh.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}So great things
{\ADD{[or So many things]}} ye have suffered without cause, if it be without cause.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}He that giveth to you
{\ADD{[the]}} Spirit, and worketh virtues in you, whether of
{\ADD{[the]}} works of the law, or of hearing of belief?
{\ADD{[or of faith?]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{6}As it is written, Abraham believed to God, and it was reckoned to him to rightwiseness.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}And therefore know ye, that these that be of belief
{\ADD{[or they that be of faith]}}, be the sons of Abraham.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}And the scripture seeing afar, that God justifieth the heathen of belief,
{\ADD{[or Forsooth the scripture purveying, for God justifieth of faith heathen men]}}, told before to Abraham, That in thee all the heathen
{\ADD{[or all folks]}} shall be blessed.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}And therefore these that be of belief,
{\ADD{[or they that be of faith]}}, shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}For all that be of the works of the law, be under curse; for it is written, Each man
{\EM{is}} cursed, that abideth not
{\ADD{[or that dwelleth not]}} in all things that be written in the book of the law, to do those things.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}And that no man is justified in the law before God, it is open, for a rightful man liveth of belief.
{\ADD{[Forsooth for no man is justified in the law with God, it is known, for a rightful man liveth by faith.]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{12}But the law is not of belief, but he that doeth those things
{\EM{of the law}}, shall live in them.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}But Christ again-bought us
{\ADD{[or delivered us]}} from the curse of the law, and was made accursed for us; for it is written, Each man
{\EM{is}} cursed that hangeth in the tree;


\par }{\PP \VS{14}that among the heathen the blessing of Abraham were made in Jesus Christ, that we receive the promise of Spirit through belief.
{\ADD{[that the blessing of Abraham in heathen men should be made in Christ Jesus, that we take the promise of Spirit by faith.]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{15}Brethren, I say after man, no man despiseth the testament of a man that is confirmed, or ordaineth above
{\ADD{[other thing]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}The promises were said to Abraham and to his seed; he saith not, In
{\ADD{[the]}} seeds, as in many, but as in one, And to thy seed, that is, Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}But I say, this testament
{\EM{is}} confirmed of God; the law that was made after four hundred and thirty years, maketh not the testament vain to void away the promise
{\ADD{[or maketh not void for to do away the promise]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}For if
{\ADD{[the]}} heritage
{\EM{were}} of the law,
{\EM{it were}} not now of promise. But God granted
{\ADD{[or gave]}} to Abraham through promise.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}What then the law? that is, Whereto is the law profitable?
{\ADD{[or What therefore profiteth the law?]}} It was set for trespassing, till the seed came, to whom he had made the promise.
{\EM{Which law}} was ordained by angels, in the hand of a mediator.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}But a mediator is not of one. But God is one.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}{\EM{Is}} then the law against the promises of God? God forbid. For if the law were given, that might quicken, verily were rightfulness of law,
{\ADD{[or verily rightwiseness were of law]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}But the scripture hath concluded all things under sin, that the promise of the faith of Jesus Christ were given to them that believe.


\par }{\PP \VS{23}And before that belief came, they were kept under the law, enclosed into that belief that was to be showed.
{\ADD{[Forsooth before that the faith came, we were kept under the law, shut together into that faith that was to be showed.]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{24}And so the law was our under-master in Christ, that we be justified of belief
{\ADD{[or of faith]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{25}But after that belief came, we be not now under the undermaster.
{\ADD{[But after that the faith came, now we be not under the little master.]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{26}For all ye be the children of God through the belief of Jesus Christ.
{\ADD{[For all ye be the sons of God by faith in Christ Jesus.]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{27}For all ye that be baptized, be clothed with Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{28}There is no Jew, nor Greek, no bondman, nor free man, no male, nor female; for all ye be one in Christ Jesus.


\par }{\PP \VS{29}And if ye
{\EM{be one}} in Jesus Christ, then ye be the seed of Abraham,
{\EM{and}} heirs by promise.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But I say, as long time as the heir is a little child, he diverseth nothing from a servant, when he is lord of all things
{\ADD{[or lord of all]}};


\par }{\PP \VS{2}but he is under keepers and tutors, into the time determined of the father.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}So we, when we were little children, we served under the elements of the world.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}But after that the fulfilling of time came, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,


\par }{\PP \VS{5}that he should again-buy them that were under the law, that we should receive the adoption of sons.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}And for ye be God’s sons, God sent his Spirit into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
{\ADD{[Forsooth for ye be the sons of God, God sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, that is, father.]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{7}And so there is not now a servant, but a son; and if
{\EM{he is}} a son,
{\EM{he is}} an heir by God.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}But then ye unknowing God, served to them that in kind were not gods.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}But now when ye have known God, and be known of God, how be ye turned again to the feeble
{\ADD{[or the sick]}} and needy elements, to the which ye will again serve?


\par }{\PP \VS{10}Ye take keep to days,
{\ADD{[or Ye keep, or wait on, days]}}, and months, and times, and years.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}But I dread you, lest without cause, I have travailed among you,
{\ADD{[or lest peradventure I have travailed in you without cause]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}Be ye as I, for I
{\EM{am}} as ye. Brethren, I beseech you, ye have hurt me nothing
{\ADD{[or ye have nothing hurt me]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}But ye know, that by infirmity of flesh I have preached
{\ADD{[or I have evangelized]}} to you now before;


\par }{\PP \VS{14}and ye despised not, neither forsook your temptation in my flesh, but ye received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}Where then is your blessing?
{\ADD{[or Where is therefore your blessedness, that ye had before time?]}} For I bear you witness, that if it might have been done, ye would have put out your eyes, and have given them to me.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}Am I then made an enemy to you, saying to you the sooth?


\par }{\PP \VS{17}They love not you well
{\ADD{[or They love you not well]}}, but they will exclude you, that ye pursue them.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}But pursue ye the good evermore in good, and not only when I am present with you.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}My small children, which I bear again, till that Christ be formed in you,
{\ADD{[My little sons, whom I child, or I bring forth by travail, again, till Christ be formed in you,]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{20}and I would now be at you, and change my voice, for I am confounded among you.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}Say to me, ye that will be under the law, have ye not read the law?


\par }{\PP \VS{22}For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one of a servant
{\ADD{[or a handmaiden]}}, and one of a free woman
{\ADD{[or a wife]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{23}But he that
{\EM{was}} of the servant
{\ADD{[or the handmaiden]}} was born after the flesh; but he that
{\EM{was}} of the free woman
{\ADD{[or the wife]}} by a promise.


\par }{\PP \VS{24}The which things be said by another understanding
{\ADD{[or allegory]}}. For these be two testaments; one in the hill of Sinai
{\ADD{[or mount Sinai]}}, engendering into servage, which is Agar.


\par }{\PP \VS{25}For Sinai is an hill
{\EM{that is}} in Arabia, which
{\EM{hill}} is joined to it that is now Jerusalem, and serveth with her children.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}But that Jerusalem that is above, is free, which is our mother.


\par }{\PP \VS{27}For it is written, Be glad, thou barren, that bearest not; break out and cry,
{\ADD{[thou]}} that bringest forth no children; for many sons
{\EM{be}} of her that is left of her husband, more than of her that hath an husband.


\par }{\PP \VS{28}For, brethren, we be
{\ADD{[the]}} sons of promise after Isaac;


\par }{\PP \VS{29}but now as this that was born after the flesh pursued him that
{\EM{was}} after the Spirit, so now.


\par }{\PP \VS{30}But what saith the scripture? Cast out the servant
{\ADD{[or the handmaiden]}} and her son, for the son of the servant shall not be heir with the son of the free
{\EM{wife}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{31}And so, brethren, we be not sons of the servant
{\ADD{[or of the handmaiden]}}, but of the free
{\EM{wife}}, by which freedom
{\ADD{[or liberty]}} Christ hath made us free.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Stand ye therefore, and do not ye again be held in the yoke of servage.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}Lo! I, Paul, say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall nothing profit to you.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}And I witness again to each man that circumciseth himself, that he is a debtor of all the law to be done.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}And ye be voided away from Christ, and ye that be justified in the law, ye have fallen away from grace.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}For we through the Spirit of belief abide the hope of rightwiseness.
{\ADD{[For we by Spirit of faith abide the hope of rightwiseness.]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{6}For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision is anything worth, neither prepuce, but the belief that worketh by charity
{\ADD{[or but faith that worketh by charity]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}Ye ran well; who hindered you that ye obeyed not to the truth?


\par }{\PP \VS{8}Consent ye to no man; for this counsel is not of him that hath called you.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}A little sourdough impaireth
{\ADD{[or maketh sour]}} all the gobbet.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}I trust on you in our Lord, that ye should understand none other thing. And who that disturbeth or dis-troubleth you, shall bear doom, whoever he be.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}And, brethren, if I preach yet circumcision, what suffer I yet persecution? then the stumbling of the cross is avoided/is voided.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}I would that they were cut away, that disturb you.
{\ADD{[I would that they that distrouble you, be also cut off.]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{13}For, brethren, ye be called into freedom
{\ADD{[or into liberty]}}; only give ye not freedom
{\ADD{[or liberty]}} into occasion of flesh, but by charity of
{\ADD{[the]}} Spirit serve ye together.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}For every law
{\ADD{[or all the law]}} is fulfilled in one word, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}And if ye bite, and eat each other, see ye, lest ye be wasted each from other.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}And I say to you
{\EM{in Christ}}, walk ye in Spirit, and ye shall not perform the desires of the flesh.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}For the flesh coveteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these be adversaries together, that ye do not all things that ye will.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}That if ye be led by
{\ADD{[the]}} Spirit, ye be not under the law.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}And the works of the flesh be open, which be fornication, unclean-ness, unchastity, lechery,


\par }{\PP \VS{20}service of false gods
{\ADD{[or serving of idols]}}, witchcrafts, enmities, strivings
{\ADD{[or strives]}}, indignations, wraths, chidings, dissensions, sects
{\ADD{[or heresies]}},


\par }{\PP \VS{21}envies, manslayings, drunkennesses, unmeasurable eatings
{\ADD{[or gluttonies]}}, and things like to these, which I say to you before, as I have told to you before, for they that do such things, shall not have the kingdom of God.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}But the fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, long abiding, benignity,
{\ADD{[or good will]}}, goodness, mildness, faith,


\par }{\PP \VS{23}temperance, continence, chastity; against such things is no law.


\par }{\PP \VS{24}And they that be of Christ, have crucified their flesh with vices and covetings
{\ADD{[or concupiscences]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{25}If we live by Spirit, walk we by Spirit;


\par }{\PP \VS{26}be we not made covetous of vain glory, stirring each other to wrath,
{\EM{or}} having envy each to other.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Brethren, if a man be occupied in any guilt
{\ADD{[or overcome in any trespass]}}, ye that be spiritual, inform ye
{\ADD{[or teach]}} such one in spirit of softness,
{\ADD{[or meekness]}}, beholding thyself, lest that thou be tempted,
{\ADD{[falling in the same wise]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}Each bear other’s charges, and so ye shall fulfill the law of Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}For who that troweth
{\ADD{[or guesseth]}} that he be aught, when he is nought, he beguileth himself.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}But each man prove his own work, and so he shall have glory
{\ADD{[only]}} in himself, and not in another.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}For each man shall bear his own charge.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}He that is taught in word, commune he with him that teacheth him, in all goods
{\ADD{[or in all good things]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}Do not ye err, God is not scorned; for those things that a man soweth, those things he shall reap.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh he shall reap corruption; but he that soweth in the Spirit, of the Spirit he shall reap everlasting life.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}And doing good fail we not; for in his time we shall reap, not failing.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}Therefore while we have time, work we good to all men; but most to them that be home-like
{\ADD{[or that be the household meine]}} of the faith.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}See ye, what manner letters I have written to you with mine own hand.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}For whoever will please in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised, only that they suffer not the persecution of Christ’s cross.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}For neither they that be circumcised keep the law; but they will, that they have glory in your flesh.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}But far be it from me to have glory,
{\ADD{[no]}} but in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}For in Jesus Christ neither circum-cision is anything worth, nor prepuce, but a new creature.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}And whoever
{\ADD{[shall]}} pursue this rule, peace on them, and mercy, and on Israel of God.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}And hereafter
{\ADD{[or From hence-forth]}}, no man be heavy to me; for I bear in my body the tokens,
{\ADD{[or the wounds]}}, of our Lord Jesus Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
{\EM{be}} with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
