1: In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free -- stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude; 2: lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing; 3: and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law; 4: ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away; 5: for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for, 6: for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working. 7: Ye were running well; who did hinder you -- not to obey the truth? 8: the obedience [is] not of him who is calling you! 9: a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven; 10: I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be. 11: And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away; 12: O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you! 13: For ye -- to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another, 14: for all the law in one word is fulfilled -- in this: 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;' 15: and if one another ye do bite and devour, see -- that ye may not by one another be consumed. 16: And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete; 17: for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will -- these ye may not do; 18: and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law. 19: And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20: idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects, 21: envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit. 22: And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, 23: meekness, temperance: against such there is no law; 24: and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires; 25: if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk; 26: let us not become vain-glorious -- one another provoking, one another envying!
