5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage:

5:2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing:

5:3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law:

5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace:

5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith:

5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love:

5:7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth:

5:8 This persuasion [cometh] not of him that calleth you:

5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump:

5:10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be:

5:11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased:

5:12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you:

5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another:

5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself:

5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another:

5:16 I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh:

5:17 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:

5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law:

5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness:

5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies:

5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God:

5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith:

5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law:

5:24 And they that are Christ' s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts:

5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit:

5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another:
