Galatians Chapter 5 005:001 Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 005:002 Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing. 005:003 Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 005:004 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
005:005 For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness. 005:006 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love. 005:007 You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth? 005:008 This persuasion is not from him who calls you. 005:009 A little yeast grows through the whole lump. 005:010 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. 005:011 But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed. 005:012 I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off. 005:013 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.
005:014 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."{Leviticus 19:18} 005:015 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don't consume one another. 005:016 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh. 005:017 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.
005:018 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 005:019 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, 005:020 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, 005:021 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.
005:022 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,{or, faithfulness} 005:023 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 005:024 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. 005:025 If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit. 005:026 Let's not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
