The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the |
| Galatians | | 5 |
Stand Fast in Liberty |
| 1 |
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
|
| 2 |
¶ Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
|
| 3 |
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
|
| 4 |
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
|
| 5 |
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
|
| 6 |
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
|
| 7 |
Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
|
| 8 |
This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
|
| 9 |
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 1 Cor. 5.6
|
| 10 |
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.
|
| 11 |
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offense of the cross ceased.
|
| 12 |
I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
|
| 13 |
¶ For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
|
| 14 |
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Lev. 19.18
|
| 15 |
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
|
The Fruit of the Spirit and the Works of the Flesh |
| 16 |
¶ This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
|
| 17 |
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. Rom. 7.15-23
|
| 18 |
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
|
| 19 |
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
|
| 20 |
idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
|
| 21 |
envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, 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.
|
| 22 |
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
|
| 23 |
meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
|
| 24 |
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
|
| 25 |
¶ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
|
| 26 |
Let us not be desirous of vainglory, provoking one another, envying one another.
|
