| 5:1 |
For freedom Christ has set us free;stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
|
| 5:2 |
Now I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you.
|
| 5:3 |
I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is bound to keep the whole law.
|
| 5:4 |
You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law;you have fallen away from grace.
|
| 5:5 |
For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness.
|
| 5:6 |
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.
|
| 5:7 |
You were running well;who hindered you from obeying the truth?
|
| 5:8 |
This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
|
| 5:9 |
A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
|
| 5:10 |
I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine;and he who is troubling you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
|
| 5:11 |
But if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the crosshas been removed.
|
| 5:12 |
I wish those who unsettle you would mutilate themselves!
|
| 5:13 |
For you were called to freedom, brethren;only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another.
|
| 5:14 |
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
|
| 5:15 |
But if you bite and devour one another take heed that you are not consumed by one another.
|
| 5:16 |
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh.
|
| 5:17 |
For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh;for these areopposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would.
|
| 5:18 |
But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law.
|
| 5:19 |
Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness,
|
| 5:20 |
idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit,
|
| 5:21 |
envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
|
| 5:22 |
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
|
| 5:23 |
gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.
|
| 5:24 |
And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
|
| 5:25 |
If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
|
| 5:26 |
Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another.
