               Law, that euery mouth may bee stopped, and all circumcised, or vncircumcised? not when he was

               20  Therefore by the woorkes of the Lawe shall no  11 After, he receiued the signe of circumcision, as

               that beleeue.  23  For there is no difference: for  in the steppes of the faith of our father Abra-

               through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus, of the worlde, was not giuen to Abraham, or to
               25 Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation his seede, through the Lawe, but through the
               through faith in his blood to declare his righ-   righteousnesse of faith.  14  For if they which are
               teousnes, by the forgiuenesse of the sinnes that  of the Lawe, be heires, faith is made voide, and
               are passed,  26  Through the patience of God, to the promise is made of none effect.    15  For the

               might be iust, and a iustifier of him which is of is no transgression.  16  Therefore it is by faith,
               the faith of Iesus.  27 Where is then the reioycing? that it might come by grace, and the promise
               It is excluded.   By what Lawe?     of woorkes? might be sure to all the seede, not to that onely
               Nay: but by the Lawe of faith.  28  Therefore we which is of the Lawe: but also to that which is
