[1] Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. [2] Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing. [3] Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law. [4] You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace. [5] For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness. [6] For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love. [7] You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth? [8] This persuasion is not from him who calls you. [9] A little yeast grows through the whole lump. [10] I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. [11] But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed. [12] I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off. [13] For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another. [14] For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”† [15] But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another. [16] But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh. [17] For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire. [18] But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. [19] Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, [20] idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, [21] envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom. [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,§ [23] gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. [24] Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. [25] If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit. [26] Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

Commends the New Life
[1] Stand fast G4739 therefore G3767 in the G3588 liberty G1657 wherewith G3739 Christ G5547 hath made G1659 us G2248 free, G1659 and G2532 be G1758 not G3361 entangled G1758 again G3825 with the yoke G2218 of bondage. G1397 [2] Behold, G1492 I G1473 Paul G3972 say G3004 unto you, G5213 that G3754 if G1437 ye be circumcised, G4059 Christ G5547 shall profit G5623 you G5209 nothing. G3762 [3] For G1161 I testify G3143 again G3825 to every G3956 man G444 that is circumcised, G4059 that G3754 he is G2076 a debtor G3781 to do G4160 the G3588 whole G3650 law. G3551 [4] Christ G5547 is become of no effect G2673 G575 unto you, whosoever G3748 of you are justified G1344 by G1722 the law; G3551 ye are fallen G1601 from grace. G5485 [5] For G1063 we G2249 through the Spirit G4151 wait for G553 the hope G1680 of righteousness G1343 by G1537 faith. G4102 [6] For G1063 in G1722 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 neither G3777 circumcision G4061 availeth G2480 any thing, G5100 nor G3777 uncircumcision; G203 but G235 faith G4102 which worketh G1754 by G1223 love. G26 [7] Ye did run G5143 well; G2573 who G5101 did hinder G348 you G5209§ that ye should G3982 not G3361 obey G3982 the G3588 truth? G225 [8] This G3588 persuasion G3988 cometh not G3756 of G1537 him that G3588 calleth G2564 you. G5209 [9] A little G3398 leaven G2219 leaveneth G2220 the G3588 whole G3650 lump. G5445 [10] I G1473 have confidence G3982 in G1519 you G5209 through G1722 the Lord, G2962 that G3754 ye will be G5426 none G3762 otherwise G243 minded: G5426 but G1161 he that G3588 troubleth G5015 you G5209 shall bear G941 his G3588 judgment, G2917 whosoever G3748 G302 he be. G5600 [11] And G1161 I, G1473 brethren, G80 if G1487 I G2784 yet G2089 preach G2784 circumcision, G4061 why G5101 do I G1377 yet G2089 suffer persecution? G1377 then G686 is G2673 the G3588 offence G4625 of the G3588 cross G4716 ceased. G2673 [12] I would G3785 they were G609 even G2532 cut off G609 which G3588 trouble G387 you. G5209 [13] For, G1063 brethren, G80 ye G5210 have been called G2564 unto G1909 liberty; G1657 only G3440 use not G3361 liberty G1657 for G1519 an occasion G874 to the G3588 flesh, G4561 but G235 by G1223 love G26 serve G1398 one another. G240 [14] For G1063 all G3956 the G3588 law G3551 is fulfilled G4137 in G1722 one G1520 word, G3056 even in G1722 this; G3588 Thou shalt love G25 thy G4675 neighbour G4139 as G5613 thyself. G1438 [15] But G1161 if G1487 ye bite G1143 and G2532 devour G2719 one another, G240 take heed G991 that ye be G355 not G3361 consumed G355 one G240 of G5259 another. G240 [16] This I say G3004 then, G1161 Walk G4043 in the Spirit, G4151 and G2532 ye shall G5055 not G3756 G3361 fulfil G5055 the lust G1939 of the flesh. G4561 [17] For G1063 the G3588 flesh G4561 lusteth G1937 against G2596 the G3588 Spirit, G4151 and G1161 the G3588 Spirit G4151 against G2596 the G3588 flesh: G4561 and G1161 these G5023 are contrary G480 the one to the other: G240 so that G2443 ye G4160 cannot G3361 do G4160 the things G5023 that G3739 G302 ye would. G2309 [18] But G1161 if G1487 ye be led G71 of the Spirit, G4151 ye are G2075 not G3756 under G5259 the law. G3551 [19] Now G1161 the G3588 works G2041 of the G3588 flesh G4561 are G2076 manifest, G5318 which G3748 are G2076 these; Adultery, G3430 fornication, G4202 uncleanness, G167 lasciviousness, G766 [20] idolatry, G1495 witchcraft, G5331 hatred, G2189 variance, G2054 emulations, G2205 wrath, G2372 strife, G2052 seditions, G1370 heresies, G139 [21] 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 as G2531 I have G4277 also G2532 told you in time past, G4277 that G3754 they which G3588 do G4238 such things G5108 shall G2816 not G3756 inherit G2816 the kingdom G932 of God. G2316 [22] But G1161 the G3588 fruit G2590 of the G3588 Spirit G4151 is G2076 love, G26 joy, G5479 peace, G1515 longsuffering, G3115 gentleness, G5544 goodness, G19 faith, G4102 [23] meekness, G4236 temperance: G1466 against G2596 such G5108 there is G2076 no G3756 law. G3551 [24] And G1161 they that are G3588 Christ’s G5547 have crucified G4717 the G3588 flesh G4561 with G4862 the G3588 affections G3804§ and G2532 lusts. G1939 [25] If G1487 we live G2198 in the Spirit, G4151 let us G4748 also G2532 walk G4748 in the Spirit. G4151 [26] Let us G1096 not G3361 be G1096 desirous of vain glory, G2755 provoking G4292 one another, G240 envying G5354 one another. G240Footnotes
