Stand fast{G4739}{(G5720)} therefore{G3767} in the liberty{G1657} wherewith{G3739} Christ{G5547} hath made{G1659} us{G2248} free{G1659}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} be{G1758} not{G3361} entangled{G1758}{(G5744)} again{G3825} with the yoke{G2218} of bondage{G1397}.

Behold{G2396}, I{G1473} Paul{G3972} say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, that{G3754} if{G1437} ye be circumcised{G4059}{(G5747)}, Christ{G5547} shall profit{G5623}{(G5692)} you{G5209} nothing{G3762}.

For{G1161} I testify{G3143}{(G5736)} again{G3825} to every{G3956} man{G444} that is circumcised{G4059}{(G5746)}, that{G3754} he is{G2076}{(G5748)} a debtor{G3781} to do{G4160}{(G5658)} the whole{G3650} law{G3551}.

Christ{G5547} is become of no effect unto you{G575}{G2673}{(G5681)}, whosoever of you{G3748} are justified{G1344}{(G5743)} by{G1722} the law{G3551}; ye are fallen from{G1601}{(G5656)} grace{G5485}.

For{G1063} we{G2249} through the Spirit{G4151} wait for{G553}{(G5736)} the hope{G1680} of righteousness{G1343} by{G1537} faith{G4102}.

For{G1063} in{G1722} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} neither{G3777} circumcision{G4061} availeth{G2480}{(G5719)} any thing{G5100}, nor{G3777} uncircumcision{G203}; but{G235} faith{G4102} which worketh{G1754}{(G5734)} by{G1223} love{G26}.

Ye did run{G5143}{(G5707)} well{G2573}; who{G5101} did hinder{G348}{(G5656)}{(G5625)}{G1465} you{G5209} that ye should{G3982} not{G3361} obey{G3982}{(G5745)} the truth{G225}?

This persuasion{G3988} cometh not{G3756} of{G1537} him that calleth{G2564}{(G5723)} you{G5209}.

A little{G3398} leaven{G2219} leaveneth{G2220}{(G5719)} the whole{G3650} lump{G5445}.

I{G1473} have confidence{G3982}{(G5754)} in{G1519} you{G5209} through{G1722} the Lord{G2962}, that{G3754} ye will be{G5426} none{G3762} otherwise{G243} minded{G5426}{(G5692)}: but{G1161} he that troubleth{G5015}{(G5723)} you{G5209} shall bear{G941}{(G5692)} his judgment{G2917}, whosoever{G3748} he be{G302}{G5600}{(G5753)}.

And{G1161} I{G1473}, brethren{G80}, if{G1487} I{G2784} yet{G2089} preach{G2784}{(G5719)} circumcision{G4061}, why{G5101} do I{G1377} yet{G2089} suffer persecution{G1377}{(G5743)}? then{G686} is{G2673} the offence{G4625} of the cross{G4716} ceased{G2673}{(G5769)}.

I would{G3785} they were{G609} even{G2532} cut off{G609}{(G5698)} which trouble{G387}{(G5723)} you{G5209}.

For{G1063}, brethren{G80}, ye{G5210} have been called{G2564}{(G5681)} unto{G1909} liberty{G1657}; only{G3440} use not{G3361} liberty{G1657} for{G1519} an occasion{G874} to the flesh{G4561}, but{G235} by{G1223} love{G26} serve{G1398}{(G5720)} one another{G240}.

For{G1063} all{G3956} the law{G3551} is fulfilled{G4137}{(G5743)} in{G1722} one{G1520} word{G3056}, even in{G1722} this; Thou shalt love{G25}{(G5692)} thy{G4675} neighbour{G4139} as{G5613} thyself{G1438}.

But{G1161} if{G1487} ye bite{G1143}{(G5719)} and{G2532} devour{G2719}{(G5719)} one another{G240}, take heed{G991}{(G5720)} that ye be{G335} not{G3361} consumed{G355}{(G5686)} one{G240} of{G5259} another{G240}.

This I say{G3004}{(G5719)} then{G1161}, Walk{G4043}{(G5720)} in the Spirit{G4151}, and{G2532} ye shall{G5055} not{G3364} fulfil{G5055}{(G5661)} the lust{G1939} of the flesh{G4561}.

For{G1063} the flesh{G4561} lusteth{G1937}{(G5719)} against{G2596} the Spirit{G4151}, and{G1161} the Spirit{G4151} against{G2596} the flesh{G4561}: and{G1161} these{G5023} are contrary{G480}{(G5736)} the one to the other{G240}: so that{G2443} ye cannot{G3363} do{G4160}{(G5725)} the things{G5023} that{G3739}{G302} ye would{G2309}{(G5725)}.

But{G1161} if{G1487} ye be led{G71}{(G5743)} of the Spirit{G4151}, ye are{G2075}{(G5748)} not{G3756} under{G5259} the law{G3551}.

Now{G1161} the works{G2041} of the flesh{G4561} are{G2076}{(G5748)} manifest{G5318}, which{G3748} are{G2076}{(G5748)} these; Adultery{G3430}, fornication{G4202}, uncleanness{G167}, lasciviousness{G766},

Idolatry{G1495}, witchcraft{G5331}, hatred{G2189}, variance{G2054}, emulations{G2205}, wrath{G2372}, strife{G2052}, seditions{G1370}, heresies{G139},

Envyings{G5355}, murders{G5408}, drunkenness{G3178}, revellings{G2970}, and{G2532} such{G5125} like{G3664}: of the which{G3739} I tell{G4302} you{G5213} before{G4302}{(G5719)}, as{G2531} I have{G4277} also{G2532} told you in time past{G4277}{(G5627)}, that{G3754} they which do{G4238}{(G5723)} such things{G5108} shall{G2816} not{G3756} inherit{G2816}{(G5692)} the kingdom{G932} of God{G2316}.

But{G1161} the fruit{G2590} of the Spirit{G4151} is{G2076}{(G5748)} love{G26}, joy{G5479}, peace{G1515}, longsuffering{G3115}, gentleness{G5544}, goodness{G19}, faith{G4102},

Meekness{G4236}, temperance{G1466}: against{G2596} such{G5108} there is{G2076}{(G5748)} no{G3756} law{G3551}.

And{G1161} they that are{G3588} Christ's{G5547} have crucified{G4717}{(G5656)} the flesh{G4561} with{G4862} the affections{G3804} and{G2532} lusts{G1939}.

If{G1487} we live{G2198}{(G5719)} in the Spirit{G4151}, let us{G4748} also{G2532} walk{G4748}{(G5725)} in the Spirit{G4151}.

Let us{G1096} not{G3361} be{G1096}{(G5741)} desirous of vain glory{G2755}, provoking{G4292}{(G5734)} one another{G240}, envying{G5354}{(G5723)} one another{G240}.
