| # Chapter 5
#### 1 | Stand fast, and be not held again under the yoke of bondage.
#### 2 | Behold, I Paul tell you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
#### 3 | And I testify again to every man circumcising himself, that he is a debtor to the whole law.
#### 4 | You are made void of Christ, you who are justified in the law: you are fallen from grace.
#### 5 | For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of justice.
#### 6 | For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by charity.
#### 7 | You did run well, who hath hindered you, that you should not obey the truth?
#### 8 | This persuasion is not from him that calleth you.
#### 9 | A little leaven corrupteth the whole lump.
#### 10 | I have confidence in you in the Lord: that you will not be of another mind: but he that troubleth you, shall bear the judgment, whosoever he be.
#### 11 | And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the scandal of the cross made void.
#### 12 | I would they were even cut off, who trouble you.
#### 13 | For you, brethren, have been called unto liberty: only make not liberty an occasion to the flesh, but by charity of the spirit serve one another.
#### 14 | For all the law is fulfilled in one word: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
#### 15 | But if you bite and devour one another; take heed you be not consumed one of another.
#### 16 | I say then, walk in the spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh.
#### 17 | For the flesh lusteth against the spirit: and the spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary one to another: so that you do not the things that you would.
#### 18 | But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law.
#### 19 | Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury,
#### 20 | Idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects,
#### 21 | Envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God.
#### 22 | But the fruit of the Spirit is, charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity,
#### 23 | Mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there is no law.
#### 24 | And they that are Christ's, have crucified their flesh, with the vices and concupiscences.
#### 25 | If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
#### 26 | Let us not be made desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying on another.
