'One' in the Bible
What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.
Answer me this one question, "Is it on the ground of your obedience to the Law that you received the Spirit, or is it because, when you heard, you believed?"
All who are depending upon their own obedience to the Law are under a curse, for it is written, "Cursed is every one who does not remain faithful to all the precepts of the Law, and practise them."
It is evident, too, that no one can find acceptance with God simply by obeying the Law, because "the righteous shall live by faith,"
Christ has purchased our freedom from the curse of the Law by becoming accursed for us--because "Cursed is every one who is hanged upon a tree."
(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.)
But there cannot be a mediator where only one individual is concerned.
God, however, is only one. Is the Law then opposed to the promises of God? No, indeed; for if a Law had been given which could have conferred Life, righteousness would certainly have come by the Law.
In Him the distinctions between Jew and Gentile, slave and free man, male and female, disappear; you are all one in Christ Jesus.
But at one time, you Gentiles, having no knowledge of God, were slaves to gods which in reality do not exist.
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave-girl and one by the free woman.
All this is allegorical; for the women represent two Covenants. One has its origin on Mount Sinai, and bears children destined for slavery.
Yet just as, at that time, the child born in the common course of nature persecuted the one whose birth was due to the power of the Spirit, so it is now.
You however, brethren, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an excuse for giving way to your lower natures; but become bondservants to one another in a spirit of love.
But if you are perpetually snarling and snapping at one another, beware lest you are destroyed by one another.
Let us not become vain-glorious, challenging one another, envying one another.
Brethren, if anybody be detected in any misconduct, you who are spiritual should restore such a one in a spirit of meekness. And let each of you keep watch over himself, lest he also fall into temptation.
Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole of Christ's Law.
For if there is any one who thinks himself to be somebody when he is nobody, he is deluding himself.
From this time onward let no one trouble me; for, as for me, I bear, branded on my body, the scars of Jesus as my Master.
