noyes Galatians:5:1-15 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Stand firm in the liberty with which Christ made us free ,
and be not again bound fast to the yoke of bondage .
*
Behold ,
I Paul say to you ,
that if ye are circumcised ,
Christ will profit you nothing ;
*
yea ,
I testify again to every one who becometh circumcised ,
that he is bound to keep the whole Law .
*
Ye are entirely separated from Christ ,
who seek to obtain righteousness through the Law ;
ye have fallen away from grace .
*
For we through the Spirit by faith steadfastly wait for the hope of righteousness .
*
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything ,
nor uncircumcision ;
but faith working by love .
*
Ye were running well ;
who hindered you ,
that ye should not obey the truth ?
*
This persuasion came not from him that called you .
*
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump .
*
I indeed have confidence in regard to you in the Lord ,
that ye will be no otherwise minded ;
but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment ,
whoever he may be .
*
But as for me ,
brethren ,
if I still preach circumcision ,
why do I still suffer persecution ?
Then hath the cross ceased to be a stumbling
block .
*
Would that they who unsettle you would quite cut themselves off !
*
For ye ,
brethren ,
were called to liberty ;
only use not your liberty for an occasion to the flesh ,
but by your love serve one another .
*
For the whole Law is fulfilled in one commandment ,
even in this "
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself ."
*
But if ye bite and devour one another ,
beware lest ye be consumed by one another .
