Acts 15:1

The Jerusalem Council

1 ^aBut some men came down from Judea and were teaching ^bthe brothers, “Unless you are ^ccircumcised ^daccording to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

Acts 15:24

24 Since we have heard that ^esome persons have gone out from us and ^ftroubled you ^{▼▼Some manuscripts some persons from us have troubled you} with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions,

Galatians 3:1

By Faith, or by Works of the Law?

1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? ^hIt was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly ⁱportrayed as crucified.

Galatians 5:1-8

Christ Has Set Us Free

1 For ^jfreedom Christ has ^kset us free; ^lstand firm therefore, and do not submit again to ^ma yoke of ⁿslavery.

2 Look: I, Paul, say to you that ^oif you accept circumcision, ^pChrist will be of no advantage to you. 3 I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that ^qhe is obligated to keep the whole law. 4 You are ^rsevered from Christ, ^syou who would be justified ^{▼▼Or counted righteous} by the law; ^uyou have fallen away from grace. 5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly ^vwait for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus ^wneither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but ^xonly faith working through love.

7 ^yYou were running well. Who hindered you from obeying ^zthe truth? 8 This persuasion is not from ^aahim who calls you.
