Galatians - Chapter 5

	Gal 5:1	Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, [fn] and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
	Gal 5:2	Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
	Gal 5:3	And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.
	Gal 5:4	You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
	Gal 5:5	For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
	Gal 5:6	For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
	Gal 5:7	You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
	Gal 5:8	This persuasion does not [come] from Him who calls you.
	Gal 5:9	A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
	Gal 5:10	I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
	Gal 5:11	And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased.
	Gal 5:12	I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off!
	Gal 5:13	For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not [use] liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
	Gal 5:14	For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." [fn]
	Gal 5:15	But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
	Gal 5:16	I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
	Gal 5:17	For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
	Gal 5:18	But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
	Gal 5:19	Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, [fn] fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
	Gal 5:20	idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
	Gal 5:21	envy, murders, [fn] drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told [you] in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
	Gal 5:22	But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
	Gal 5:23	gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
	Gal 5:24	And those [who are] Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
	Gal 5:25	If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
	Gal 5:26	Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
