This letter to the Galatians was likely written in the latter part of the 50s, according to the Journal of the Society of Biblical Literature and Exegesis. Though the Bible doesn’t state how Paul died, it is widely believed that he died a martyr’s death in Rome. He is known for having such great faith that even when in prison, he would praise the Lord and share the gospel with the prison guards, causing many guards and prisoners to come to believe in Jesus Christ. Paul worked with many other believers in his ministry to spread the gospel and was found wrongly imprisoned for sharing his faith. Following his conversion, Paul dedicated his life to sharing the gospel message of Jesus to all nations and building up the body of Chris Paul had a powerful and life-changing encounter with Jesus in Acts 9, which resulted in his conversion. Before his conversion, Paul stated he was greatly zealous for the law of God and made a great effort to continually persecute Christians. In Acts, readers learn that Paul was a Pharisee and the son of a Pharisee. Paul, formerly named Saul, was not part of the original twelve disciples who followed Jesus during His earthly ministry. ( AV) The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, ( AW) who loved me ( AX) and gave himself for me.The letter to the Galatians begins by giving credit to Paul, an apostle of Jesus, as the author. ( AT) 20 I have been crucified with Christ ( AU) and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. ( AP)ġ7 “But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners, ( AQ) doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not! ( AR) 18 If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker.ġ9 “For through the law I died to the law ( AS) so that I might live for God. ( AO) So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. ( AJ) How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? ( AK)ġ5 “We who are Jews by birth ( AL) and not sinful Gentiles ( AM) 16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, ( AN) but by faith in Jesus Christ. ( AF) 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas ( AG) was led astray.ġ4 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, ( AH) I said to Cephas ( AI) in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. ( AE) But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. 12 For before certain men came from James, ( AD) he used to eat with the Gentiles. Paul Opposes Cephasġ1 When Cephas ( AB) came to Antioch, ( AC) I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, ( AA) the very thing I had been eager to do all along. ( Y) They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, ( Z) and they to the circumcised. 9 James, ( U) Cephas ( V) and John, those esteemed as pillars, ( W) gave me and Barnabas ( X) the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. 8 For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle ( S) to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle ( T) to the Gentiles. ( O) 7 On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task ( P) of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised, ( Q) just as Peter ( R) had been to the circumcised. 5 We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel ( L) might be preserved for you.Ħ As for those who were held in high esteem ( M)-whatever they were makes no difference to me God does not show favoritism ( N)-they added nothing to my message.

( H) 4 This matter arose because some false believers ( I) had infiltrated our ranks to spy on ( J) the freedom ( K) we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. 3 Yet not even Titus, ( G) who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek. ( E) I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race ( F) in vain.

2 I went in response to a revelation ( D) and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. 2 Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, ( A) this time with Barnabas.
