Gálatas 5

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.
