| # Chapter 5
#### 1 | For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.
#### 2 | Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
#### 3 | Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
#### 4 | Ye are severed from Christ, ye would be justified by the law; ye are 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 availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
#### 7 | Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?
#### 8 | This persuasion [came] not of him that calleth you.
#### 9 | A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
#### 10 | I have confidence to you-ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
#### 11 | But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away.
#### 12 | I would that they that unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision.
#### 13 | For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only [use] not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.
#### 14 | For the whole 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 of another.
#### 16 | But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
#### 17 | For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not 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]: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
#### 20 | idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,
#### 21 | envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
#### 22 | But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
#### 23 | meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.
#### 24 | And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.
#### 25 | If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk.
#### 26 | Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
