Return to Index

Chapter 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.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.  

 

 

-

4


 

  You are alienated from Christ, you desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.  

 

 

-

5


 

  For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.  

 

 

-

6


 

  For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.  

 

 

-

7


 

  You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?  

 

 

-

8


 

  This persuasion is not from him who calls you.  

 

 

-

9


 

  A little yeast grows through the whole lump.  

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

11


 

  But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling-block of the cross has been removed.  

 

 

-

12


 

  I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.  

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

14


 

  For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'  

 

 

-

15


 

  But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don't consume one another.  

 

 

-

16


 

  But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh.  

 

 

-

17


 

  For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other, that you may not do the things that you desire.  

 

 

-

18


 

  But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,  

 

 

-

20


 

  idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,  

 

 

-

21


 

  envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.  

 

 

-

22


 

  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  

 

 

-

23


 

  gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.  

 

 

-

24


 

  Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.  

 

 

-

25


 

  If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.  

 

 

-

26


 

  Let's not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
