Galatians - Chapter 5 | American Standard Version

  • 1. For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.
  • 2. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
  • 3. Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
  • 4. Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.
  • 5. For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
  • 6. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
  • 7. Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?
  • 8. This persuasion {cf15i came} not of him that calleth you.
  • 9. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
  • 10. I have confidence to you-ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
  • 11. But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away.
  • 12. I would that they that unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision.
  • 13. For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only {cf15i use} not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.
  • 14. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, {cf15i even} in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
  • 15. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
  • 16. But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
  • 17. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.
  • 18. But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
  • 19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are {cf15i these}: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
  • 20. idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,
  • 21. envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
  • 22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
  • 23. meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.
  • 24. And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.
  • 25. If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk.
  • 26. Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
