¹ Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free, and be not intangled again with the yoke of bondage.² Behold, I Paul say unto you, If ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.³ For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, he is a debtor to do the whole law.⁴ Christ is become of no effect to you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.⁵ For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which worketh by love.⁷ Ye did run well: who hath hindered you, that ye should not obey the truth?⁸ This persuasion cometh not from him that called 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, whosoever he be.¹¹ But if I, brethren, preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution?¹² Then is the offence of the cross ceased. I would they were even cut off that trouble you.

¹³ 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, in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.¹⁵ But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed ye be not consumed one of another.¹⁶ I say then, walk by the Spirit, and fulfil not the desire of the flesh.¹⁷ For the flesh desireth against the Spirit, but the Spirit desireth against the flesh (these are contrary to each other) that ye may not do the things which 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,²⁰ uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, contentions,²¹ emulations, wraths, strifes, divisions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of which I tell you before (as I have also told you in time past) that they who practise such things, shall not inherit the kingdom of God.²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, fidelity, ²³ Meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.²⁴ And they that are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with its affections and desires.²⁵ If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.²⁶ Be not desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
