rkjnt Galatians:4-6
rkjnt@Galatians:4:1 @ Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a servant, though he is owner of all;
rkjnt@Galatians:4:2 @ But is under guardians and trustees until the time appointed by the father.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:3 @ So we, when we were children, were in bondage to the elementary principles of the world:
rkjnt@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
rkjnt@Galatians:4:5 @ To redeem those who were under the law, that we might be adopted as sons.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:7 @ Therefore, you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:8 @ But previously, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:9 @ But now that you have come to know God, or rather, to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to those weak and beggarly principles, to which you again desire to be in bondage?
rkjnt@Galatians:4:10 @ You observe days, and months, and seasons, and years.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:11 @ I am afraid for you, lest I have bestowed labour upon you in vain.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I urge you, be as I am; for I became as you are: you have not injured me at all.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:13 @ You know it was because of infirmity of the flesh that I first preached the gospel to you.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:14 @ And though my fleshly condition was a trial for you, you did not despise or reject me; but received me as an angel from God, as Christ Jesus himself.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:15 @ Where then is the blessed joy you had? for I bear you witness, that, if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:16 @ Have I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
rkjnt@Galatians:4:17 @ They zealously seek you, but not for good; they would alienate you, that you might seek them.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:18 @ But it is always good to be zealously sought after in a good way, and not only when I am present with you.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:19 @ My little children, with whom I again suffer birth pains until Christ is formed in you,
rkjnt@Galatians:4:20 @ I desire to be present with you now, and to change my tone; for I am perplexed about you.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?
rkjnt@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman, the other by a free woman.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:23 @ He who was born by the slave woman was born according to the flesh; but the son born by the free woman was through the promise.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:24 @ These things are an allegory: for these women are the two covenants; the one from mount Sinai, who bears children into bondage; this is Hagar.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:25 @ For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, which is in bondage with her children.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem which is above is free, and she is our mother.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, Rejoice, you who are barren and bear no children; break forth and shout, you who are not in the pangs of birth: for the desolate woman has many more children than she who has a husband.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:28 @ Now we, brethren, like Isaac, are the children of promise.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:29 @ But as it was then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:30 @ Nevertheless, what does the scripture say? Cast out the slave woman and her son: for the son of the slave woman shall not be an heir with the son of the free woman.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:31 @ So then, brethren, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:1 @ It is for liberty that Christ has made us free. Therefore, stand fast and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:2 @ Behold, I, Paul say to you, that if you are circumcised, Christ shall be of no value to you.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:3 @ For I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is obliged to obey the whole law.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:4 @ You who would be justified by the law, you have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen from grace.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:5 @ For we through the Spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of righteousness.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; but faith which works through love.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:7 @ You ran well; who hindered you, that you should not obey the truth?
rkjnt@Galatians:5:8 @ This persuasion does not come from him who calls you.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:9 @ A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:10 @ I have confidence in you through the Lord, that you will take no other view: but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he may be.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:11 @ And if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:12 @ I wish those who trouble you would even emasculate themselves.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:13 @ For, brethren, you have been called to liberty; only do not use your liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but in love serve one another.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:14 @ For all the law is fulfilled in one command; You shall love your neighbour as yourself.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you are not consumed by one another.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:16 @ This I say, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the desires of the flesh.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:17 @ For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are in conflict with one another: so that you cannot do the things that you wish.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:18 @ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:19 @ Now the works of the flesh are obvious; they are; sexual immorality, impurity, licentiousness,
rkjnt@Galatians:5:20 @ Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strife, jealousy, fits of rage, selfishness, dissensions, factions,
rkjnt@Galatians:5:21 @ Envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like: of which I forewarn you, as I have also warned you in the past, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:22 @ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
rkjnt@Galatians:5:23 @ Gentleness, self-control: against such things there is no law.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:24 @ And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:25 @ If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
rkjnt@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying one another.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, if a man is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual, restore him in the spirit of gentleness; considering yourselves, lest you also be tempted.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:3 @ For if a man thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:4 @ But let every man test his own work, and then he can take pride in himself, and not in comparison to another.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:5 @ For every man shall bear his own burden.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:6 @ Let him who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not be deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:8 @ For he who sows to his flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:9 @ And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we do not loose heart.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:10 @ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:11 @ See what large letters I make as I write to you with my own hand.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:12 @ Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh would compel you to be circumcised; but only to avoid suffering persecution for the cross of Christ.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:13 @ For not even those who are circumcised keep the law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:14 @ But God forbid that I should glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:15 @ For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only a new creation.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:16 @ And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:17 @ Henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear on my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
rkjnt@Galatians:6:18 @ Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
