hen I was present the second time, and now absent,
I write to those who have sinned already, and to all the rest, that if
I come again, I will not spare you: (3)since ye demand a proof that
Christ speaketh in me, who to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in
you. (4)For though he was crucified in weakness, yet he liveth by the
power of God: for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him
by the power of God _displayed_ towards you.

(5)Examine yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your
ownselves: know ye not your ownselves, that Jesus Christ is in you,
except ye be reprobate? (6)But I hope that ye shall know that we are
not reprobate. (7)Now I pray unto God that ye do no evil, not that we
should appear approved, but that you may do that which is laudable,
though we should be as reprobates. (8)For we can do nothing against the
truth, but for the truth. (9)For we rejoice when we are weak, but ye
are strong: and this also we pray for, even your perfect establishment.
(10)For this cause, though absent, I have written these things, that
when I am present I may not use severity, according to the power which
the Lord hath given me for edification, and not for destruction.

(11)Finally, brethren, rejoice: be perfectly united together, be
comforted, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace
shall be with you. (12)Salute one another with a holy kiss. (13)All the
saints salute you. (14)The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love
of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.

THE EPISTLE of PAUL the APOSTLE, TO THE GALATIANS.

CHAP. I.

PAUL the apostle (not _sent_ from men, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ,
and our Father who raised him from the dead), (2)and all the brethren
with me, to the churches of Galatia: (3)grace unto you, and peace from
God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ; (4)who gave himself for our
sins, that he might pluck us out of this present wicked world,
according to the will of God and our Father: (5)to whom be glory for
ever and ever. Amen.

(6)I marvel that ye are so quickly departed from him that called you,
by the grace of Christ into another gospel (7)which is not another; but
there are certain persons who trouble you, and desire to pervert the
gospel of Christ. (8)But though even we, or an angel from heaven,
preach unto you an
