Galatians Chapter 5 / WOR

World English Bible
Galatians, Chapter 5

   1: Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
   2: Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
   3: Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
   4: You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
   5: For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
   6: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
   7: You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
   8: This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
   9: A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
   10: I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
   11: But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling-block of the cross has been removed.
   12: I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
   13: For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.
   14: For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
   15: But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don't consume one another.
   16: But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh.
   17: For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one other, that you may not do the things that you desire.
   18: But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
   19: Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
   20: idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
   21: envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
   22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
   23: gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
   24: Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
   25: If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.
   26: Let's not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
