Galatians 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 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. |
