Galatians 5:1-7

1 1 2It 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?
