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 do 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 one another.
