^{1 Ref} Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.

^{2 Ref} See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

^{3 Ref} Yes, I give witness again to every man who undergoes circumcision, that he will have to keep all the law.

^{4 Ref} You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.

^{5 Ref} For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

^{6 Ref} Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.

^{7 Ref} You were going on well; who was the cause of your not giving ear to what is true?

^{8 Ref} This ready belief did not come from him who had made you his.

^{9 Ref} A little leaven makes a change in all the mass.

^{10 Ref} I am certain about you in the Lord, that you will be of no other mind; but he who is troubling you will have his punishment, whoever he is.

^{11 Ref} But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.

^{12 Ref} My desire is that they who give you trouble might even be cut off themselves.

^{13 Ref} Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.

^{14 Ref} For all the law is made complete in one word, even in this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

^{15 Ref} But if you are given to fighting with one another, take care that you are not the cause of destruction one to another.

^{16 Ref} But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.

^{17 Ref} For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do.

^{18 Ref} But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

^{19 Ref} Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses,

^{20 Ref} Worship of images, use of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has, angry feelings, attempts to get the better of others, divisions, false teachings,

^{21 Ref} Envy, uncontrolled drinking and feasting, and such things: of which I give you word clearly, even as I did in the past, that they who do such things will have no part in the kingdom of God.

^{22 Ref} But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

^{23 Ref} Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law.

^{24 Ref} And those who are Christ's have put to death on the cross the flesh with its passions and its evil desires.

^{25 Ref} If we are living by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us be guided.

^{26 Ref} Let us not be full of self-glory, making one another angry, having envy of one another.

^{1 Ref} 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 Ref} lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing;

^{3 Ref} and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;

^{4 Ref} ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;

^{5 Ref} for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for,

^{6 Ref} for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

^{7 Ref} Ye were running well; who did hinder you -- not to obey the truth?

^{8 Ref} the obedience `is' not of him who is calling you!

^{9 Ref} a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven;

^{10 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!

^{13 Ref} 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 Ref} for all the law in one word is fulfilled -- in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;'

^{15 Ref} and if one another ye do bite and devour, see -- that ye may not by one another be consumed.

^{16 Ref} And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete;

^{17 Ref} 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 Ref} and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law.

^{19 Ref} And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

^{20 Ref} idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects,

^{21 Ref} 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 Ref} And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

^{23 Ref} meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;

^{24 Ref} and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;

^{25 Ref} if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk;

^{26 Ref} let us not become vain-glorious -- one another provoking, one another envying!

^{1 Ref} 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 Ref} Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

^{3 Ref} Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

^{4 Ref} You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

^{5 Ref} For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

^{6 Ref} For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

^{7 Ref} You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

^{8 Ref} This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

^{9 Ref} A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

^{10 Ref} 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 Ref} But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling-block of the cross has been removed.

^{12 Ref} I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.

^{13 Ref} 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 Ref} For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

^{15 Ref} But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don't consume one another.

^{16 Ref} But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh.

^{17 Ref} 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 Ref} But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

^{19 Ref} Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

^{20 Ref} idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

^{21 Ref} 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 Ref} But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

^{23 Ref} gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

^{24 Ref} Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

^{25 Ref} If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.

^{26 Ref} Let's not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
