Galatians:5:1-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free ,
and don '
t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage .
*
Behold ,
I ,
Paul ,
tell you that if you receive circumcision ,
Christ will profit you nothing .
*
Yes ,
I testify again to every man who receives circumcision ,
that he is a debtor to do the whole law .
*
You are alienated from Christ ,
you who desire to be justified by the law .
You have fallen away from grace .
*
For we ,
through the Spirit ,
by faith wait for the hope of righteousness .
*
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything ,
nor uncircumcision ,
but faith working through love .
*
You were running well !
Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth ?
*
This persuasion is not from him who calls you .
*
A little yeast grows through the whole lump .
*
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 .
*
But I ,
brothers ,
if I still preach circumcision ,
why am I still persecuted ?
Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed .
*
I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off .
*
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 .
*
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word ,
in this : "
You shall love your neighbor as yourself ." {
Leviticus strkjv @
19:18 }
*
But if you bite and devour one another ,
be careful that you don '
t consume one another .
