Galatians:5:1-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
