Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (5:1) Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing (5:2) For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law (5:3) Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace (5:4) For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith (5:5) For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love (5:6) Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? (5:7) This persuasion [cometh] not of him that calleth you (5:8) A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump (5:9) 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 (5:10) And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased (5:11) I would they were even cut off which trouble you (5:12) For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another (5:13) For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (5:14) com1 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another (5:15) [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh (5:16) 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 (5:17) But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law (5:18) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, (5:19) Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, (5:20) 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 (5:21) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, (5:22) 14 com2 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (5:23) 14 com3 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts (5:24) If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit (5:25) Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another
(5:26)
