1 C hrist has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.

2 B ehold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3 A nd I witness again to every man circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.

4 Y e are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated, as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.

5 F or we, by Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.

6 F or in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

7 Y e ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?

8 T he persuasibleness not of him that calls you.

9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

10 I have confidence as to you in Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt, whosoever he may be.

11 B ut I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.

12 I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.

13 F or ye have been called to liberty, brethren; only not liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

14 F or the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;

15 b ut if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.

16 B ut I say, Walk in Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.

17 F or the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;

18 b ut if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.

19 N ow the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,

20 i dolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,

21 e nvyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.

22 B ut the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,

23 m eekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.

24 B ut they that of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.

25 I f we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit.

26 L et us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
