[1] Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
[2] Behold, I Paul say to you, that if you 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 to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; you 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 avails any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which works by love.
[7] You did run well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth?
[8] This persuasion comes not of him that calls you.
[9] A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
[10] I have confidence in you through the Lord, that you will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he be.
[11] And I, brothers, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offense of the cross ceased.
[12] I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
[13] For, brothers, you have been called to 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; You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
[15] But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you be not consumed one of another.
[16] This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
[17] For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would.
[18] But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[19] Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
[21] Contentions, murders, drunkenness, revelings, 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.
