# Galatians 5 [[Gal-04|← Galatians 04]] | [[Galatians]] | [[Gal-06|Galatians 06 →]] *** ###### v1 Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. ###### v2 Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing. ###### v3 Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law. ###### v4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace. ###### v5 For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness. ###### v6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love. ###### v7 You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth? ###### v8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you. ###### v9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump. ###### v10 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. ###### v11 But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed. ###### v12 I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off. ###### v13 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. ###### v14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." ###### v15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don't consume one another. ###### v16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh. ###### v17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire. ###### v18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. ###### v19 Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, ###### v20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, ###### v21 envy, 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 God's Kingdom. ###### v22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, ###### v23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. ###### v24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. ###### v25 If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit. ###### v26 Let's not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another. *** [[Gal-04|← Galatians 04]] | [[Galatians]] | [[Gal-06|Galatians 06 →]]
