Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. |
|
2
|
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. |
|
3
|
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. |
|
4
|
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. |
|
5
|
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. |
|
6
|
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. |
|
7
|
Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? |
|
8
|
This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. |
|
9
|
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. |
|
10
|
I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. |
|
11
|
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. |
|
12
|
I would they were even cut off which trouble you. |
|
13
|
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. |
|
14
|
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; 1Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
|
|
15
|
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. |
|
16
|
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. |
|
17
|
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. |
|
18
|
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. |
|
19
|
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, |
|
20
|
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, |
|
21
|
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. |
|
22
|
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, |
|
23
|
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. |
|
24
|
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. |
|
25
|
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. |
|
26
|
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. |
