Galatians 3: 1-9…..You Foolish people!
O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified.

Galatians 2: 17-21….What if I still sin?
But if, in our endeavour to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!

Galatians 1: 13-24…Here I stand!

But when he who had setContinue reading “Galatians 1: 13-24…Here I stand!”
Galatians 1: 8-12….Whose gospel was Paul preaching.
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.

Galatians 1: 1-7…..Starting gently – then a hard punch.
Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— and all the brothers who are with me,Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the presentContinue reading “Galatians 1: 1-7…..Starting gently – then a hard punch.”
