1
ASV
For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.
2
ASV
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
3
ASV
Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4
ASV
Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.
5
ASV
For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
6
ASV
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
7
ASV
Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?
8
ASV
This persuasion [came] not of him that calleth you.
9
ASV
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
10
ASV
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
ASV
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
ASV
I would that they that unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision.
13
ASV
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
ASV
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
15
ASV
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16
ASV
But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17
ASV
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
ASV
But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19
ASV
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20
ASV
idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,
21
ASV
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
ASV
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23
ASV
meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.
24
ASV
And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.
25
ASV
If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk.
26
ASV
Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
