5:1 | Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. |
5:2 | Behold, I Paul say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. |
5:3 | For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. |
5:4 | Christ is become of no effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; ye have fallen from grace. |
5:5 | For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. |
5:6 | For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. |
5:7 | Ye did run well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth? |
5:8 | This persuasion [cometh] not from him that calleth you. |
5:9 | A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. |
5:10 | I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be not otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whoever he may be. |
5:11 | And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then hath the offence of the cross ceased. |
5:12 | I would they were even cut off who trouble you. |
5:13 | For, brethren, ye have been called to liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. |
5:14 | For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. |
5:15 | But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one by another. |
5:16 | [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. |
5:17 | 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. |
5:18 | But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. |
5:19 | Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, |
5:20 | Idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousy, wrath, contention, seditions, heresies, |
5:21 | Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. |
5:22 | But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, |
5:23 | Meekness, selfcontrol: against such there is no law. |
5:24 | And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. |
5:25 | If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. |
5:26 | Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. |
