Galatians 5

Walk by the Spirit

   ¹It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

   ²Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

   ³And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.

   ⁴ You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

   ⁵For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

   ⁶For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.

   ⁷ You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?

   ⁸This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you.

   ⁹A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.

   ¹⁰I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

   ¹¹But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.

   ¹²I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves.

   ¹³For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

   ¹⁴For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

   ¹⁵But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

   ¹⁶But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

   ¹⁷For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.

   ¹⁸But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

   ¹⁹Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,

   ²⁰idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,

   ²¹envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

   ²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

   ²³gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

   ²⁴Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

   ²⁵If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

   ²⁶Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
