✧1Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. ✧2Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. ✧3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. ✧4Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. ✧5For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. ✧6For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. ✧7Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? ✧8This persuasion [cometh] not of him that calleth you.

✧10I 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.
✧11And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
✧12I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
✧13For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
✧14For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
✧15But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
✧16[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
✧17For 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.
✧18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
✧19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
✧21Envyings, 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.
✧22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
✧23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
✧24And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
✧25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
✧26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
