¹ Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.² Behold, I Paul say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.³ For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.⁴ Christ is become of no effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; ye have fallen from grace.⁵ For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.⁶ For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.⁷ Ye did run well, who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?⁸ This persuasion [cometh] not from him that calleth you.⁹ A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.¹⁰ I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be no otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whoever he may be.¹¹ And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then hath the offense of the cross ceased.¹² I would they were even cut off who trouble you.

¹³ For, brethren, ye have been called to liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.¹⁴ For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.¹⁵ But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one by another.¹⁶ [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.¹⁷ For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.¹⁸ But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these], Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,²⁰ Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,²¹ Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,²³ Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.²⁴ And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts.²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.²⁶ Let us not be desirous of vain-glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
