MKJV - Galatians - 5

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

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

5:3  For I testify again to every man that is 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 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 hindered you that you do not obey the truth?

5:8  This persuasion is not from Him who calls you.

5:9  A little leaven leavens all the lump.

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

5:11  And I, brothers, if I yet proclaim circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the offense of the Cross has ceased.

5:12  I wish that those causing you to doubt will cut themselves off.

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

5:14  For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

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

5:16  I say, then, Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lusts 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, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that they who do such things shall 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 no law.

5:24  But those belonging to Christ have 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, provoking one another, envying one another.
