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. |
