Galatians 5

¹In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free — stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;

²lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing;

³and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;

⁴ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;

⁵for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for,

⁶for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

⁷Ye were running well; who did hinder you — not to obey the truth?

⁸the obedience [is] not of him who is calling you!

⁹a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven;

¹⁰I 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.

¹¹And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away;

¹²O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!

¹³For 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,

¹⁴for all the law in one word is fulfilled — in this: 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;'
