LITV - Galatians - 5

5:1  Then stand firm in the freedom with which Christ made us free and do not be held again with a yoke of slavery.

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

5:3  And I testify again to every man being circumcised, that he is a debtor to do all the Law,

5:4  you who are justified by law are deprived of all effect from Christ, you fell from grace.

5:5  For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness out of faith.

5:6  For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any strength, but faith working through love.

5:7  You were running well; who held you back that you do not obey the truth?

5:8  The persuasion is not from Him calling you.

5:9  A little leaven leavens all the lump.

5:10  I trust as to you in the Lord that you will think nothing else, but that the one troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

5:11  But I, brothers, if I proclaim circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the offense of the Cross has passed away.

5:12  I would that the ones causing you to doubt will cut themselves off.

5:13  For, brothers, you were called to freedom. Only do not use the freedom for an opening to the flesh. But through love serve one another.

5:14  For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this : "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Lev. 19:18

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

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

5:17  For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another; lest whatever you may will, these things you do.

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

5:19  Now the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness,

5:20  idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, fightings, jealousies, angers, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

5:21  envyings, murders, drunkennesses, wild parties, and things like these; of which I tell you beforehand, as I also said before, that the ones practicing such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

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

5:23  meekness, self-control. Against such things there is not a law.

5:24  But the ones belonging to Christ crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

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

5:26  Let us not become glory seeking ones, provoking one another, envying one another.
