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 Iesus (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.[1]
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[2],
20 Idolatry[3],
witchcraft,
hatred,
variance[4],
emulations[5],
wrath,
strife,
seditions[6],
heresies,
21 Envyings[7],
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.
