1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but 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 did not come from Him who calls you. |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10I 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. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into 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, in the statement, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15But if you bite and devour one another, take care 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 carry out the desire of the flesh. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17For 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. |
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 deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21envying, 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. |
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] | 24Now 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 walk by the Spirit. |
26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another. |
