5:1 |
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
|
5:2 |
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
|
5:3 |
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
|
5:4 |
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
|
5:5 |
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
|
5:6 |
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
|
5:7 |
Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
|
5:8 |
This persuasion [cometh] not of him that calleth you.
|
5:9 |
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
|
5:10 |
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.
|
5:11 |
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
|
5:12 |
I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
|
5:13 |
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
|
5:14 |
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
|
5:15 |
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
|
5:16 |
[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
|
5:17 |
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.
|
5:18 |
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
|
5:19 |
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
|
5:20 |
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
|
5:21 |
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.
|
5:22 |
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
|
5:23 |
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
|
5:24 |
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
|
5:25 |
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
|
5:26 |
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
