Galatians
5
1 2 3 4 5 6
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.
