Galatians:5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free ,
and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage .
*
Behold ,
I Paul say unto you ,
that if ye be circumcised ,
Christ shall 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 unto you ,
whosoever of you are justified by the law ;
ye are 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 did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth ?
*
This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you .
*
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump .
*
I have confidence in you through the Lord ,
that ye will be none otherwise minded :
but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment ,
whosoever he be .
*
And I ,
brethren ,
if I yet preach circumcision ,
why do I yet suffer persecution ?
then is the offence of the cross ceased .
*
I would they were even cut off which trouble you .
*
For ,
brethren ,
ye have been called unto 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 neighbour as thyself .
*
But if ye bite and devour one another ,
take heed that ye be not consumed one of another .
*
This I say then ,
Walk in the Spirit ,
and ye shall not fulfil 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 be led of 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 ,
revellings ,
and such like :
of the which I tell you before ,
as I have also told you in time past ,
that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God .
*
But the fruit of the Spirit is love ,
joy ,
peace ,
longsuffering ,
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 .
