As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]:
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye.
Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
