| 5.1 |
Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. |
| 5.2 |
Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing. |
| 5.3 |
Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. |
| 5.4 |
You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace. |
| 5.5 |
For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness. |
| 5.6 |
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love. |
| 5.7 |
You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth? |
| 5.8 |
This persuasion is not from him who calls you. |
| 5.9 |
A little yeast grows through the whole lump. |
| 5.10 |
I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. |
| 5.11 |
But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed. |
| 5.12 |
I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off. |
| 5.13 |
For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another. |
| 5.14 |
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” |
| 5.15 |
But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another. |
| 5.16 |
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh. |
| 5.17 |
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire. |
| 5.18 |
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. |
| 5.19 |
Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, |
| 5.20 |
idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, |
| 5.21 |
envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. |
| 5.22 |
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, |
| 5.23 |
gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. |
| 5.24 |
Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. |
| 5.25 |
If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit. |
| 5.26 |
Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another. |
