Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith you stand.

And because of false brethren brought in unawares, who came in secretly to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

But now, after you have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?

For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

I have confidence in you through the Lord, that you will not be otherwise minded: but he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them.

For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the innocent.

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

For neither at any time used we flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:

I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked out the beard: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

He gives his cheek to him that strikes him: he is filled full with reproach.

And unto him that smites you on the one cheek offer also the other; and he that takes away your cloak forbid not to take your coat also.
