If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker.

For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor.

Rather, I am a sinner if I rebuild the old system of law I already tore down.

If I rebuild those things that I tore down, I show myself to be a lawbreaker.

For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I prove myself to be a wrongdoer.

For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.

If I rebuild the system I tore down, I show myself to be a lawbreaker.

For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

But if I build up again those things I once destroyed, I demonstrate that I am one who breaks God’s law.

For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law- breaker.

But now you know God. Even better, God knows you. So why are you turning back to those weak and worthless powers? Do you want to be slaves to them all over again?You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!I am afraid for you. I am afraid that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.I make my appeal to you, brothers and sisters. I’m asking you to become like me. After all, I became like you. You didn’t do anything wrong to me.

He used to eat with the Gentiles. But certain men came from a group sent by James. When they arrived, Peter began to draw back. He separated himself from the Gentiles. That’s because he was afraid of the circumcision group sent by James.Peter’s actions were not honest, and other Jews in Antioch joined him. Even Barnabas was led astray.I saw what they were doing. It was not in line with the truth of the good news. So I spoke to Peter in front of them all.“ You are a Jew,” I said.“ But you live like one who is not. So why do you force Gentiles to follow Jewish ways?”We are Jews by birth. We are not sinful Gentiles.Here is what we know. No one is made right with God by obeying the law. It is by believing in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus. This is so we can be made right with God by believing in Christ. We are not made right by obeying the law. That’s because no one can be made right with God by obeying the law.

Your brother or sister may be upset by what you eat. If they are, you are no longer acting as though you love them. So don’t destroy them by what you eat. Remember that Christ died for them.

Brothers and sisters, I no longer preach that people must be circumcised. If I did, why am I still being opposed? If I preached that, then the cross wouldn’t upset anyone.

This matter came up because some people had slipped in among us. They had pretended to be believers. They wanted to find out about the freedom we have because we belong to Christ Jesus. They wanted to make us slaves again.We didn’t give in to them for a moment. We did this so that the truth of the good news would be kept safe for you.

If so, then your knowledge destroys that weak brother or sister for whom Christ died.Suppose you sin against them in this way. Then you harm their weak sense of what is right and wrong. By doing this, you sin against Christ.

I do not get rid of the grace of God. What if a person could become right with God by obeying the law? Then Christ died for nothing!
