Haweis - Galatians - 5

5:1  STAND fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made you free, and be not again held under a yoke of bondage.

5:2  Behold, I Paul declare to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ will be of no advantage to you.

5:3  And again, I testify to every man who is circumcised, that he is under an obligation to keep the whole law.

5:4  Ye have vacated all expectations from Christ, as many of you as are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

5:5  For we in spirit by faith expect the hope of righteousness.

5:6  For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith exerting its energy by love.

5:7  Ye were running well: who hath hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?

5:8  This persuasion cometh not from him who called you.

5:9  A little leaven leaveneth the whole mass.

5:10  I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be no otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear condign punishment whosoever he be.

5:11  But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then indeed the offence of the cross is at an end.

5:12  I wish that they who trouble you were cut off from you.

5:13  For ye have been called unto liberty, brethren; only use not that liberty as a pretext for carnality, but in love be subject one to another.

5:14  For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

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

5:16  But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

5:17  For the flesh hath appetites contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these act in opposition the one to the other: so that ye do not the things which ye would.

5:18  But if ye are under the conduct of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

5:19  Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these: adultery, whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness,

5:20  idolatry, magical charms, enmities, strifes, jealousies, animosities, quarrels, divisions, heresies,

5:21  envyings, murders, drunkenness, revels, and the like of these, concerning which I tell you now, as I have told you already, that they who live in such practices shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,

5:23  meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.

5:24  But they who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and irregular appetites.

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

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