LO - Galatians - 5

5:1  Stand fast, therefore, in the freedom with which Christ has freed us, and be not again held fast 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  And I testify, moreover, to every circumcised person, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

5:4  You are loosed from Christ, who are justified by the law; you have fallen from favor.

5:5  But we, through the Spirit, look for the hope of righteousness by faith.

5:6  For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith, which works by love.

5:7  You did run well: who has hindered you from obeying the truth?

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

5:9  A little leaven leavens the whole mass.

5:10  I am persuaded concerning you, by the Lord, that you will think nothing differently from me: but he who troubles you shall bear the punishment, whosoever he be.

5:11  But I, brethren, if I now proclaim circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Certainly the offense of the cross is abolished.

5:12  I wish, indeed, they were cut off who subvert you.

5:13  For you, brethren, have been called into liberty; only use not this liberty for an occasion to the flesh; but through love, assiduously serve one another.

5:14  For the whole law is fulfilled by one precept, even by this, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

5:15  But if you bite and devour one another, take care lest you be consumed by one another.

5:16  I say, then, walk by 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, so that you do not do the things 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 manifest, which are these. Fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

5:20  sorcery, enmities, strifes, emulations, wraths, brawlings, factions, sects,

5:21  envying, murders, intoxications, revelings, and such like: concerning which I foretell you now, as I also have foretold, that they who practice these things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

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

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

5:24  Besides, they who are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with the passions and lusts.

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

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