Stand fast therefore
in the liberty
wherewith
Christ
hath made
us
free
, and
be
not
entangled
again
with the yoke
of bondage
.
Behold, I
Paul
say
unto you
, that
if
ye be circumcised
, Christ
shall profit
you
nothing
.
For I testify
again
to every
man
that is circumcised
, that
he is
a debtor
to do
the whole
law
.
Christ is become of no effect unto you
, whosoever of you
are justified
by
the law
; ye are fallen from
grace
.
For we
through the Spirit
wait for
the hope
of righteousness
by
faith
.
For in
Jesus
Christ
neither
circumcision
availeth
any thing
, nor
uncircumcision
; but
faith
which worketh
by
love
.
Ye did run well
; who
did hinder
you
that ye should
not
obey
the truth
?
This persuasion cometh not
of
him that calleth
you
.
A little leaven
leaveneth
the whole
lump
.
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
.
And I
, brethren
, if
I
yet
preach
circumcision
, why
do I
yet
suffer persecution
? then
is
the offence
of the cross
ceased
.
I would they were
even
cut off
which trouble
you
.
For, brethren
, ye
have been called
unto
liberty
; only
use not
liberty
for
an occasion
to the flesh
, but
by
love
serve
one another
.
For all
the law
is fulfilled
in
one
word
, even in
this; Thou shalt love
thy
neighbour
as
thyself
.
But if
ye bite
and
devour
one another
, take heed
that ye be
not
consumed
one
of
another
.
This I say then
, Walk
in the Spirit
, and
ye shall
not
fulfil
the lust
of the flesh
.
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
.
But if
ye be led
of the Spirit
, ye are
not
under
the law
.
Now the works
of the flesh
are
manifest
, which
are
these ; Adultery
, fornication
, uncleanness
, lasciviousness
,
Idolatry, witchcraft
, hatred
, variance
, emulations
, wrath
, strife
, seditions
, heresies
,
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
.
But the fruit
of the Spirit
is
love
, joy
, peace
, longsuffering
, gentleness
, goodness
, faith
,
Meekness, temperance
: against
such
there is
no
law
.
And they that are
Christ's
have crucified
the flesh
with
the affections
and
lusts
.
If we live
in the Spirit
, let us
also
walk
in the Spirit
.
Let us not
be
desirous of vain glory
, provoking
one another
, envying
one another
.
