Worsley - Galatians - 5

5:1  Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again in the yoke of bondage.

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

5:3  And I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to the whole law.

5:4  Christ is become nothing to you, whosoever of you are seeking to be justified by the law: ye are fallen from the grace of the gospel.

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

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

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

5:8  This persuasion came not from him that called you: but a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass.

5:9  I have confidence in you however through the Lord,

5:10  that ye will not think otherwise: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgement, whosoever he be.

5:11  And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted by the Jews? for then the offence of the cross is ceased.

5:12  I wish they were even cut off from your communion, that make such disturbance amongst you.

5:13  For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only abuse not this liberty for an occasion to indulge the flesh, but by mutual love serve one another.

5:14  For all the law is fulfilled in one precept, 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 destroyed by one another.

5:16  I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the desire of the flesh:

5:17  for the flesh desireth things contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit things contrary to the flesh: and these are opposite to each other; so that ye do not those things which ye would.

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

5:19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, such as, adultery, fornication, uncleanness,

5:20  lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strifes, emulations, animosities, contentions, divisions,

5:21  heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and the like: of which I forewarn you, as I have also told you before, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

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

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

5:24  And they, that are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with it's 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.
