NASB Bible

Galatians 5

Walk by the Spirit

1

 1 aIt was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore  bkeep standing firm and do not be subject again to a  cyoke of slavery.

2

Behold I,  aPaul, say to you that if you receive  bcircumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

3

And I  atestify again to every man who receives  bcircumcision, that he is under obligation to  ckeep the whole Law.

4

You have been severed from Christ, you who  1are seeking to be justified by law; you have  afallen from grace.

5

For we  1through the Spirit,  2by faith, are  awaiting for the hope of righteousness.

6

For in  aChrist Jesus  bneither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but  cfaith working through love.

7

You were  arunning well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?

8

This persuasion did not come from  aHim who calls you.

9

 aA little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.

10

 aI have confidence  1in you in the Lord that you  bwill adopt no other view; but the one who is  cdisturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

11

But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still  apersecuted? Then  bthe stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.

12

I wish that  athose who are troubling you would even  1 bmutilate themselves.

13

For you were called to  afreedom, brethren;  bonly do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love  cserve one another.

14

For  athe whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement,bYOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

15

But if you  abite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

16

But I say,  awalk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out  bthe desire of the flesh.

17

For  athe flesh  1sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another,  bso that you may not do the things that you  2please.

18

But if you are  aled by the Spirit,  byou are not under the Law.

19

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are:  1 aimmorality, impurity, sensuality,

20

idolatry,  asorcery, enmities,  bstrife, jealousy, outbursts of anger,  cdisputes, dissensions,  1 dfactions,

21

envying,  adrunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not  binherit the kingdom of God.

22

But  athe fruit of the Spirit is  blove, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23

gentleness,  aself-control; against such things  bthere is no law.

24

Now those who  1belong to  aChrist Jesus have  bcrucified the flesh with its passions and  cdesires.

25

If we live by the Spirit, let us also  1walk  aby the Spirit.

26

Let us not become  aboastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
