I have confidencein you in the Lordthat you will adoptnootherview;but the one who is disturbingyou will bearhis judgment,whoeverhe is.
"Sincewe have heardthat someof our numberto whomwe gavenoinstructionhave disturbedyou with [their] words,unsettlingyour souls,
[I have decided] to deliversuch a oneto Satanfor the destructionof his flesh,sothat his spiritmay be savedin the dayof the LordJesus.
In thisconfidenceI intendedat firstto cometo you, sothat you might twicereceivea blessing;
I askthat when I am presentI [need] not be boldwith the confidencewith whichI proposeto be courageousagainstsome,who regardus as ifwe walkedaccordingto the flesh.
and we are readyto punishalldisobedience,wheneveryour obedienceis complete.
For thisreasonI am writingthese thingswhile absent,sothat when presentI [need] not useseverity,in accordancewith the authoritywhichthe Lordgaveme for buildingup and not for tearing down.
Thisis the very thingI wroteyou, sothat when I came,I would not havesorrowfrom those whoought to makeme rejoice;having confidencein you allthat my joywould be [the joy] of you all.
Sufficientfor such a oneis thispunishmentwhich [was] [inflicted] by the majority,
Thereforefrom nowon we recognizeno oneaccordingto the flesh;eventhoughwe have knownChristaccordingto the flesh,yetnowwe know[Him] [in this way] no longer.
I rejoicethat in everythingI have confidencein you.
We have sentwith them our brother,whomwe have oftentestedand founddiligentin manythings,but noweven morediligentbecause of [his] greatconfidencein you.
whichis [really] not another;onlythere are somewho are disturbingyou and wantto distortthe gospelof Christ.
But [it was] becauseof the false brethrensecretly brought in, who had sneakedin to spyout our libertywhichwe havein ChristJesus,in orderto bring us into bondage.
But from thosewho were of highreputation(whatthey were makesnodifferenceto me; Godshowsnopartiality)--well,thosewho were of reputationcontributednothingto me.
You foolishGalatians,whohas bewitchedyou, beforewhoseeyesJesusChristwas publicly portrayed[as] crucified?
I fearfor you, that perhapsI have laboredoveryou in vain.
They eagerlyseekyou, not commendably,but they wishto shutyou out sothat you will seekthem.
but I could wishto be presentwith you nowand to changemy tone,for I am perplexedaboutyou.
I wishthat thosewho are troublingyou would evenmutilatethemselves.
You were runningwell;whohinderedyou from obeyingthe truth?
From nowon let no onecausetroublefor me, for I bearon my bodythe brand-marksof Jesus.
Let us therefore,as manyas are perfect,havethisattitude;and ifin anythingyou havea differentattitude,Godwill revealthat alsoto you;
We have confidencein the Lordconcerningyou, that you are doingand will [continue to] dowhatwe command.
Among theseare Hymenaeusand Alexander,whomI have handed overto Satan,sothat they will be taughtnot to blaspheme.
Having confidencein your obedience,I writeto you, since I knowthat you will doevenmore thanwhatI say.
