Galatians 5




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.
