Galatians 5:1-15
Freedom in Christ

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

1:

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

2:

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

3:

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

4:

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.

6:

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

7:

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

8:

9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

9:

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.

10:

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

11:

12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

12:

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.

13:

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

14:

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

15:
