GALATIANS CHAPTER V.

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 judgement, 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 neighbor 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 the ye would. 
18 But if ye be led by 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, 
long-suffering, 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.
