Ancient Anglican

James is written to the Christian community at large and it instructs us on how to live as a community.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen. Gal. 6:18

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Gal. 6:1-2

For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would. Gal. 5:17

Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another. Gal. 5:26

* For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Gal. 5:14 *

“Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and shout, you who are not in travail; for the children of the desolate one are many more than the children of her that is married.” Gal. 4:27 quoting Isa. 54:1

Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong; 13 you know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first. Gal. 4:12-13

Now this is an allegory. Gal. 4:24

And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir. Gal. 4:6-7

So with us; when we were children, we were slaves to the elemental spirits of the universe. Gal. 4:3

So that the law was our custodian until Christ came, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian. Gal. 3:24-25
