Galatians Chapter 5 Back Next{5:1} Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which
Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
{5:2} Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive
circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
{5:3} Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a
debtor to do the whole
law.
{5:4} You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from
grace.
{5:5} For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the
hope of righteousness.
{5:6} For in Christ
Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
{5:7} You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
{5:8} This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
{5:9} A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
{5:10} 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.
{5:11} But I,
brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the
cross has been removed.
{5:12} I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
{5:13} For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use your freedom for gain to the
flesh, but through love be servants to one another.
{5:14} For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."[

{5:15} But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don't consume one another.
{5:16} But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the
lust of the flesh.
{5:17} 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.
{5:18} But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
{5:19} Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are:
adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
{5:20}
idolatry, sorcery,
hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
{5:21} envyings, 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 the
Kingdom of God.
{5:22} But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faith, {5:23} gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
{5:24} Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
{5:25} If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.
{5:26} Let's not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
