1. Stand firm therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2. Behold, I Paul say to you that if you are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4. Christ has become of no effect for you, whoever of you is justified by the law; you have fallen from grace.
5. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision profits anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which works by love.
7. You ran well; who hindered you that you should not obey the truth?
8. This persuasion does not come from him who calls you.
9. A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
10. I have confidence in you through the Lord that you will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
11. And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then has the offense of the cross ceased.
12. If only they would be even cut off who trouble you.
13. For, brethren, you have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
15. But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not consumed by one another.
16. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
17. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary to one another: so that you cannot do the things that you would.
18. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19. Now the works of the flesh are plain, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, disagreements, jealousy, anger, strife, divisions, heresies,
21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of which I tell you in advance, as I have also told you in time past, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26. Let us not desire to glorify ourselves, provoking one another, envying one another.
