G2532–καί–kai

But when He who set me apart even from my birth, and called me by His grace,

καὶ kai “and”

saw fit to reveal His Son within me in order that I might tell among the Gentiles the Good News concerning Him, at once I did not confer with any human being,

καὶ kai “and”

nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were my seniors in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards came back to Damascus.

καὶ kai “and”

Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him.

καὶ kai “and”

Afterwards I visited Syria and Cilicia.

καὶ kai “and”

And they gave glory to God on my account.

καὶ kai “And”

Later still, after an interval of fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem in company with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

καὶ kai “also”

I went up in obedience to a revelation of God's will; and I explained to them the Good News which I proclaim among the Gentiles. To the leaders of the Church this explanation was made in private, lest by any means I should be running, or should already h

καὶ kai “and”

for He who had been at work within Peter with a view to his Apostleship to the Jews had also been at work within me with a view to my Apostleship to the Gentiles--

καὶ kai “also”

and when they perceived the mission which was graciously entrusted to me, they (that is to say, James, Peter, and John, who were considered to be the pillars of the Church) welcomed Barnabas and me to their fellowship on the understanding that we were

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Only they urged that we should remember their poor--a thing which was uppermost in my own mind.

καὶ kai “also”

For until certain persons came from James he had been accustomed to eat with Gentiles; but as soon as these persons came, he withdrew and separated himself for fear of the Circumcision party.

καὶ kai “and”

And along with him the other Jews also concealed their real opinions, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their lack of straightforwardness.

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “even”

As soon as I saw that they were not walking uprightly in the spirit of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, "If you, though you are a Jew, live as a Gentile does, and not as a Jew, how can you make the Gentiles follow Jewish customs?

καὶ kai “and”

You and I, though we are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,

καὶ kai “and”

know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, through faith in Christ and no

καὶ kai “even”καὶ kai “and”

But if while we are seeking in Christ acquittal from guilt we ourselves are convicted of sin, Christ then encourages us to sin! No, indeed.

καὶ kai “also”

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me; and the life which I now live in the body I live through faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up to death on my behalf.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Have you endured such sufferings to no purpose--if indeed it has been to no purpose?

καὶ kai “even”

He who gives you His Spirit and works miracles among you--does He do so on the ground of your obedience to the Law, or is it the result of your having heard and believed:

καὶ kai “and”

even as Abraham believed God, and his faith was placed to his account as righteousness?

καὶ kai “and”

(Now the promises were given to Abraham and to his seed. God did not say "and to seeds," as if speaking of many, but "and to your seed," since He spoke of only one--and this is Christ.)

I mean that the Covenant which God had already formally made is not abrogated by the Law which was given four hundred and thirty years later--so as to annul the promise.

καὶ kai “and”

In Him the distinctions between Jew and Gentile, slave and free man, male and female, disappear; you are all one in Christ Jesus.

καὶ kai “and”

And if you belong to Christ, then you are indeed true descendants of Abraham, and are heirs in fulfilment of the promise.
