Galatians 5:1-7

1 1 2It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore 3keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a 4yoke of slavery.

2Behold I, 5Paul, say to you that if you receive 6circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3And I 7testify again to every man who receives 8circumcision, that he is under obligation to 9keep the whole Law. 4You have been severed from Christ, you who 10are seeking to be justified by law; you have 11fallen from grace. 5For we 12through the Spirit, 13by faith, are 14waiting for the hope of righteousness. 6For in 15Christ Jesus 16neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but 17faith working through love.

7You were 18running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?
