Galatians Chapter 5

{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.
