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 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; 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 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. |
