It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. | |
Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. | |
And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. | |
You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. | |
For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. | |
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. | |
You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? | |
This persuasion {did} not {come} from Him who calls you. | |
A little leaven leavens the whole lump {of dough.} | |
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. | |
But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished. | |
I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves. | |
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. | |
For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the {statement,} "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." | |
But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. | |
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. | |
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. | |
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. | |
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, | |
idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, | |
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. | |
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, | |
gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. | |
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. | |
If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. | |
Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another. |
