Stand fast in the freedom with which Christ hath freed us, and be not again held in a yoke of bondage.
Behold, I Paul say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
And I witness again to every man if circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Ye have derived no effect from Christ, whoever are being justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.
For we in the Spirit await by faith the hope of righteousness.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision hath any force nor uncircumcision, but faith working by love.
Ye were running well: who stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?
The persuasion [is] not of him that calleth you.
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
I have confidence as to you in the Lord that ye will be of no other mind; but he that troubleth you shall bear the sentence, whoever he may be.
But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then is done away the scandal of the cross.
I would they would even cut themselves off that are unsettling you.
For ye have been called for freedom, brethren: only [use] not your freedom for an opportunity to the flesh; but by love serve one another.
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
But if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed by one another.
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall in no wise fulfil flesh’s lust.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these things are opposed one to another, that ye should not do those things which ye would;
but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are under no law.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strifes, jealousies, bursts of passion, contentions, divisions, parties,
envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these, as to which I forewarn you, even as also I forewarned, that they who do such things shall not inherit God’s kingdom.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control:
against such things there is no law.
But they that are of Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and its lusts.
If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk.
Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
