Galatians 5

¹Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.

²See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

³Yes, I give witness again to every man who undergoes circumcision, that he will have to keep all the law.

⁴You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.

⁵For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

⁶Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.

⁷You were going on well; who was the cause of your not giving ear to what is true?

⁸This ready belief did not come from him who had made you his.

⁹A little leaven makes a change in all the mass.

¹⁰I am certain about you in the Lord, that you will be of no other mind; but he who is troubling you will have his punishment, whoever he is.

¹¹But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.

¹²My desire is that they who give you trouble might even be cut off themselves.

¹³Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.
