RKJNT - Galatians - 5

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.

5:2  Behold, I, Paul say to you, that if you are circumcised, Christ shall be of no value to you.

5:3  For I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is obliged to obey the whole law.

5:4  You who would be justified by the law, you have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen from grace.

5:5  For we through the Spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of righteousness.

5:6  For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; but faith which works through love.

5:7  You ran well; who hindered you, that you should not obey the truth?

5:8  This persuasion does not come from him who calls you.

5:9  A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

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.

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.

5:12  I wish those who trouble you would even emasculate themselves.

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.

5:14  For all the law is fulfilled in one command; You shall love your neighbour as yourself.

5:15  But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you are not consumed by one another.

5:16  This I say, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the desires of the flesh.

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.

5:18  But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

5:19  Now the works of the flesh are obvious; they are; sexual immorality, impurity, licentiousness,

5:20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strife, jealousy, fits of rage, selfishness, dissensions, factions,

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.

5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

5:23  Gentleness, self-control: against such things there is no law.

5:24  And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

5:25  If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

5:26  Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying one another.
