Galatians Chapter 5
| 1 | 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 anything, 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; Thou 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 fulful 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. |
