Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage. |
| 2 |
Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. |
| 3 |
And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law. |
| 4 |
Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace. |
| 5 |
For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness. |
| 6 |
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love. |
| 7 |
Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth? |
| 8 |
The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you. |
| 9 |
A little leaven leavens the whole lump. |
| 10 |
*I* have confidence as to you in [the] Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt [of it], whosoever he may be. |
| 11 |
But *I*, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away. |
| 12 |
I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion. |
| 13 |
For *ye* have been called to liberty, brethren; only [do] not [turn] liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another. |
| 14 |
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; |
| 15 |
but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another. |
| 16 |
But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust. |
| 17 |
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire; |
| 18 |
but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law. |
| 19 |
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, |
| 20 |
idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion, |
| 21 |
envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom. |
| 22 |
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, |
| 23 |
meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law. |
| 24 |
But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts. |
| 25 |
If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit. |
| 26 |
Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another. |
