048:005:001
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free,
and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
048:005:002
Behold,
I Paul say unto you,
that if ye be circumcised,
Christ shall profit you nothing.
048:005:003
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised,
that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
048:005:004
Christ is become of no effect unto you,
whosoever of you are justified by the law;
ye are fallen from grace.
048:005:005
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
048:005:006
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing,
nor uncircumcision;
but faith which worketh by love.
048:005:007
Ye did run well;
who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
048:005:008
This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
048:005:009
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
048:005:010
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.
048:005:011
And I,
brethren,
if I yet preach circumcision,
why do I yet suffer persecution?
then is the offence of the cross ceased.
048:005:012
I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
048:005:013
For,
brethren,
ye have been called unto liberty;
only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh,
but by love serve one another.
048:005:014
For all the law is fulfilled in one word,
even in this;
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
048:005:015
But if ye bite and devour one another,
take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
048:005:016
This I say then,
Walk in the Spirit,
and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
048:005:017
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.
048:005:018
But if ye be led of the Spirit,
ye are not under the law.
048:005:019
Now the works of the flesh are manifest,
which are these;
Adultery,
fornication,
uncleanness,
lasciviousness,
048:005:020
Idolatry,
witchcraft,
hatred,
variance,
emulations,
wrath,
strife,
seditions,
heresies,
048:005:021
Envyings,
murders,
drunkenness,
revellings,
and such like:
of the which I tell you before,
as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
048:005:022
But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy,
peace,
longsuffering,
gentleness,
goodness,
faith,
048:005:023
Meekness,
temperance:
against such there is no law.
048:005:024
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
048:005:025
If we live in the Spirit,
let us also walk in the Spirit.
048:005:026
Let us not be desirous of vain glory,
provoking one another,
envying one another.
