| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8This persuasion is not from him who calls you. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9A little leaven leavens the whole lump. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves! |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. |
