1 | Stand fast, and be not held again under the yoke of bondage. |
2 | Behold, I Paul tell you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. |
3 | And I testify again to every man circumcising himself, that he is a debtor to the whole law. |
4 | You are made void of Christ, you who are justified in the law: you are fallen from grace. |
5 | For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of justice. |
6 | For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by charity. |
7 | You did run well, who hath hindered you, that you should not obey the truth? |
8 | This persuasion is not from him that calleth you. |
9 | A little leaven corrupteth the whole lump. |
10 | I have confidence in you in the Lord: that you will not be of another mind: but he that troubleth you, shall bear the judgment, whosoever he be. |
11 | And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the scandal of the cross made void. |
12 | I would they were even cut off, who trouble you. |
13 | For you, brethren, have been called unto liberty: only make not liberty an occasion to the flesh, but by charity of the spirit serve one another. |
14 | For all the law is fulfilled in one word: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. |
15 | But if you bite and devour one another; take heed you be not consumed one of another. |
16 | I say then, walk in the spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. |
17 | For the flesh lusteth against the spirit: and the spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary one to another: so that you do not the things that you would. |
18 | But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law. |
19 | Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, |
20 | Idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects, |
21 | Envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God. |
22 | But the fruit of the Spirit is, charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity, |
23 | Mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there is no law. |
24 | And they that are Christ's, have crucified their flesh, with the vices and concupiscences. |
25 | If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. |
26 | Let us not be made desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying on another. |
