1 - In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free--stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;
2 - lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing;
3 - and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;
4 - ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;
5 - for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for,
6 - for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.
7 - Ye were running well; who did hinder you--not to obey the truth?
8 - the obedience <FI>is<Fi> not of him who is calling you!
9 - a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven;
10 - I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.
11 - And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away;
12 - O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!
13 - For ye--to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another,
14 - for all the law in one word is fulfilled--in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;'
15 - and if one another ye do bite and devour, see--that ye may not by one another be consumed.
16 - And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete;
17 - for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will--these ye may not do;
18 - and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law.
19 - And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 - idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects,
21 - envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.
22 - And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
23 - meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;
24 - and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;
25 - if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk;
26 - let us not become vain-glorious--one another provoking, one another envying!
