Galatians - Chapter 5 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
  • 2. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
  • 3. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
  • 4. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
  • 5. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
  • 6. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
  • 7. Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
  • 8. This persuasion {cf15I cometh} not of him that calleth you.
  • 9. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
  • 10. I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
  • 11. And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
  • 12. I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
  • 13. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only {cf15I use} not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
  • 14. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, {cf15I even} in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
  • 15. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
  • 16. {cf15I This} I say then, Walk in 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: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
  • 18. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
  • 19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are {cf15I these}; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
  • 20. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
  • 21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told {cf15I you} in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
  • 22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
  • 23. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
  • 24. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
  • 25. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
  • 26. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
