Galatians Chapter 5 (NASB)
undefined
It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
undefined
Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
undefined
And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.
undefined
You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
undefined
For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.
undefined
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.
undefined
You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?
undefined
This persuasion [did] not [come] from Him who calls you.
undefined
A little leaven leavens the whole lump [of dough].
undefined
I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
undefined
But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.
undefined
I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves.
undefined
For you were called to freedom, brethren; only [do] not [turn] your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
undefined
For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the [statement], 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'
undefined
But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.
undefined
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.
undefined
For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.
undefined
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
undefined
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,
undefined
idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,
undefined
envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
undefined
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
undefined
gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
undefined
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
undefined
If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
undefined
Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
