Chapter 5

  Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.  

-

  Behold, I Paul say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.  

-

  For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.  

-

  Christ is become of no effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; ye have fallen from grace.  

-

  For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.  

-

  For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.  

-

  Ye did run well, who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?  

-

  This persuasion cometh not from him that calleth you.  

-

  A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.  

-

  I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be no otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whoever he may be.  

-

  And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then hath the offense of the cross ceased.  

-

  I would they were even cut off who trouble you.  

-

  For, brethren, ye have been called to liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.  

-

  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  

-

  But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one by another.  

-

  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  

-

  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.  

-

  But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.  

-

  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,  

-

  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,  

-

  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.  

-

  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,  

-

  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.  

-

  And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts.  

-

  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.  

-

  Let us not be desirous of vain-glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
