Galatians 5

American Standard Version

1For freedomG1657 did ChristG5547 setG1659 us freeG1659: standG4739 fast thereforeG3767, and be not entangled againG3825 in a yokeG2218 of bondage.

2BeholdG2396, I PaulG3972 sayG3004 unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, ChristG5547 will profitG5623 you nothing. 3Yea, I testifyG3143 againG3825 to every manG444 that receiveth circumcision, that he isG1510 a debtor to do the wholeG3650 lawG3551. 4Ye are severed from ChristG5547, ye who would be justifiedG1344 by the lawG3551; ye are fallen awayG2673 from graceG5485. 5For we through the SpiritG4151 by faithG4102 wait for the hopeG1680 of righteousnessG1343. 6For in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 neither circumcisionG4061 availeth anythingG5100, nor uncircumcisionG203; but faithG4102 workingG1754 through loveG26. 7Ye were runningG5143 wellG2573; who hinderedG1465 you that ye should not obeyG3982 the truthG225? 8This persuasion came not of him that calleth you. 9A littleG3398 leavenG2219 leaveneth the wholeG3650 lumpG5445. 10I have confidenceG3982 to you-ward in the LordG2962, that ye will beG1510 noneG3762 otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bearG941 his judgmentG2917, whosoever he beG1510. 11But I, brethren, if I stillG2089 preachG2784 circumcisionG4061, whyG5101 am I stillG2089 persecutedG1377? thenG1161 hath the stumbling-block of the crossG4716 been done awayG2673. 12I would that they that unsettle you would evenG2532 go beyond circumcision.

13For ye, brethren, were calledG2564 for freedomG1657; onlyG3440 use not your freedomG1657 for an occasionG874 to the fleshG4561, but through loveG26 be servants oneG240 to another. 14For the whole lawG3551 is fulfilled in oneG1520 wordG3056, even in this: Thou shalt loveG25 thy neighbor as thyself. 15But if ye bite and devourG2719 oneG240 another, takeG991 heedG991 that ye be not consumed oneG240 of another.

16But I sayG3004, WalkG4043 by the SpiritG4151, and ye shall not fulfil the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561. 17For the fleshG4561 lusteth against the SpiritG4151, and the SpiritG4151 against the fleshG4561; for these are contrary the oneG240 to the other; that ye may not do the thingsG3778 that ye wouldG2309. 18But if ye areG1510 ledG71 by the SpiritG4151, ye areG1510 not under the lawG3551. 19NowG1161 the worksG2041 of the fleshG4561 areG1510 manifest, which areG1510 these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20idolatryG1495, sorceryG5331, enmities, strifeG2054, jealousies, wraths, factionsG139, divisions, parties, 21envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and suchG5108 like; of which I forewarn you, evenG2532 as I did forewarn you, that they who practise suchG5108 thingsG3778 shall not inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 22But the fruitG2590 of the SpiritG4151 isG1510 loveG26, joyG5479, peaceG1515, longsuffering, kindnessG5544, goodnessG19, faithfulnessG4102, 23meekness, self-control; against suchG5108 there isG1510 no lawG3551. 24And they that are of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 have crucifiedG4717 the fleshG4561 with the passionsG3804 and the lustsG1939 thereof.

25If we liveG2198 by the SpiritG4151, by the SpiritG4151 let us alsoG2532 walkG4748. 26Let us not becomeG1096 vainglorious, provoking oneG240 another, envying oneG240 another.
