Galatians 5

New American Standard Bible 1995

Walk by the Spirit

112It was for freedomG1657 that ChristG5547 setG1659 us freeG1659; thereforeG3767 3keep standingG4739 firmG4739 and do not be subjectG1758 againG3825 to a 4yokeG2218 of slaveryG1397.

2BeholdG2396 I, 5PaulG3972, sayG3004 to you that ifG1437 you receiveG4059 6circumcisionG4059, ChristG5547 will be of noG3762 benefitG5623 to you. 3And I 7testifyG3143 againG3825 to everyG3956 manG444 who receivesG4059 8circumcisionG4059, that he is underG3781 obligationG3781 to 9keepG4160 the wholeG3650 LawG3551. 4You have been severedG2673 from ChristG5547, you whoG3748 10are seeking to be justifiedG1344 by lawG3551; you have 11fallenG1601 from graceG5485. 5For we 12through the SpiritG4151, 13by faithG4102, are 14waitingG553 for the hopeG1680 of righteousnessG1343. 6For in 15ChristG5547 JesusG2424 16neitherG3777 circumcisionG4061 norG3777 uncircumcisionG203 meansG2480 anythingG5100, but 17faithG4102 workingG1754 throughG1223 loveG26.

7You were 18runningG5143 wellG2573; whoG5101 hinderedG1465 you from obeyingG3982 the truthG225? 8ThisG3588 persuasionG3988 did not come from 19Him who callsG2564 you. 920A littleG3398 leavenG2219 leavensG2220 the wholeG3650 lumpG5445 of dough. 1021I haveG3982 confidenceG3982 22in you in the LordG2962 that you 23will adoptG5426 noG3762 otherG243 viewG5426; but the one who is 24disturbingG5015 you will bearG941 his judgmentG2917, whoeverG3748G1437 he is. 11But I, brethrenG80, ifG1487 I stillG2089 preachG2784 circumcisionG4061, whyG5101 am I stillG2089 25persecutedG1377? ThenG686 26the stumblingG4625 blockG4625 of the crossG4716 has been abolishedG2673. 12I wishG3785 that 27thoseG3588 who are troublingG387 you would evenG2532 2829mutilateG609 themselves.

13For you were calledG2564 to 30freedomG1657, brethrenG80; 31onlyG3440 do not turn your freedomG1657 into an opportunityG874 for the fleshG4561, but throughG1223 loveG26 32serveG1398 oneG240 anotherG240. 14For 33the wholeG3956 LawG3551 is fulfilledG4137 in oneG1520 wordG3056, in the statement, “34You shall loveG25 your neighborG4139 as yourselfG4572.” 15But ifG1487 you 35biteG1143 and devourG2719 oneG240 anotherG240, takeG991 careG991 that you are not consumedG355 by oneG240 anotherG240.

16But I sayG3004, 36walkG4043 by the SpiritG4151, and you will not carryG5055 out 37the desireG1939 of the fleshG4561. 17For 38the fleshG4561 39setsG1937 its desireG1937 againstG2596 the SpiritG4151, and the SpiritG4151 againstG2596 the fleshG4561; for theseG3778 are in oppositionG480 to oneG240 anotherG240, 40soG2443 that you may not doG4160 the things that you 41pleaseG2309. 18But ifG1487 you are 42ledG71 by the SpiritG4151, 43you are not underG5259 the LawG3551. 19NowG1161 the deedsG2041 of the fleshG4561 are evidentG5318, whichG3748 are: 4445immoralityG4202, impurityG167, sensualityG766, 20idolatryG1495, 46sorceryG5331, enmitiesG2189, 47strifeG2054, jealousyG2205, outburstsG2372 of angerG2372, 48disputesG2052, dissensionsG1370, 4950factionsG139, 21envyingG5355, 51drunkennessG3178, carousingG2970, and things likeG3664 theseG3778, of whichG3739 I forewarnG4302 you, justG2531 as I have forewarnedG4275 you, that thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 suchG5108 thingsG5108 will not 52inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 22But 53the fruitG2590 of the SpiritG4151 is 54loveG26, joyG5479, peaceG1515, patienceG3115, kindnessG5544, goodnessG19, faithfulnessG4102, 23gentlenessG4240, 55self-controlG1466; againstG2596 suchG5108 thingsG5108 56there is noG3756 lawG3551. 24NowG1161 thoseG3588 who 57belong to 58ChristG5547 JesusG2424 have 59crucifiedG4717 the fleshG4561 with its passionsG3804 and 60desiresG1939.

25IfG1487 we liveG2198 by the SpiritG4151, let us alsoG2532 61walkG4748 62by the SpiritG4151. 26Let us not becomeG1096 63boastfulG2755, challengingG4292 oneG240 anotherG240, envyingG5354 oneG240 anotherG240.
