Anderson - Galatians - 5

5:1  Stand firm, therefore, in the freedom with which Christ has made us free, and be not held fast again in the yoke of bondage.

5:2  Behold, I Paul say to you, that if you be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

5:3  I testify indeed again to every man that is circumcised, that he is bound to do the whole law.

5:4  You that are justified by law, have withdrawn from Christ: you have fallen from grace.

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

5:6  For, in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith that works by love.

5:7  You were running well; who kept you back from obedience to the truth?

5:8  This readiness to be persuaded is not from him that calls you.

5:9  A little leaven leavens the whole mass.

5:10  I have confidence in you through the Lord, that you will cultivate no other disposition: but he that troubles you, who ever he may be, shall bear his condemnation.

5:11  But, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then, the offense of the cross has ceased.

5:12  that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off!

5:13  For you have been called to freedom, brethren: only use not your freedom as an occasion for the flesh, but become servants to one another, through love.

5:14  For all the law is fulfilled in one commandment, in this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

5:15  But if you bite and devour one another, take heed lest you be utterly destroyed by one another.

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

5:17  For the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the desire of the Spirit is against flesh; and these are opposed, the one to the other, so that you can not do what you would.

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

5:19  Now the works of the flesh are well known, and they are these―lewdness, uncleanness, wantonness,

5:20  idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strifes, jealousies, anger, party-spirit, divisions, sects,

5:21  envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; with respect to which, I tell you now, as I also told you in times past, that those who practice such things shall riot inherit the kingdom of God.

5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness,

5:23  meekness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

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

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

5:26  Let us not be vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
