Galatians 5

Worsley^{(i) 1} Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again in the yoke of bondage. ² Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. ³ And I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to the whole law. ⁴ Christ is become nothing to you, whosoever of you are seeking to be justified by the law: ye are fallen from the grace of the gospel. ⁵ For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. ⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which worketh by love. ⁷ Ye did run well: who hindered you from obeying the truth? ⁸ This persuasion came not from him that called you: but a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass. ⁹ I have confidence in you however through the Lord, ¹⁰ that ye will not think otherwise: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgement, whosoever he be. ¹¹ And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted by the Jews? for then the offence of the cross is ceased. ¹² I wish they were even cut off from your communion, that make such disturbance amongst you. ¹³ For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only abuse not this liberty for an occasion to indulge the flesh, but by mutual love serve one another. ¹⁴ For all the law is fulfilled in one precept, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ¹⁵ But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not destroyed by one another. ¹⁶ I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the desire of the flesh: ¹⁷ for the flesh desireth things contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit things contrary to the flesh: and these are opposite to each other; so that ye do not those things which ye would. ¹⁸ But if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are manifest, such as, adultery, fornication, uncleanness, ²⁰ lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strifes, emulations, animosities, contentions, divisions, ²¹ heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and the like: of which I forewarn you, as I have also told you before, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, ²³ gentleness, goodness, fidelity, meekness, temperance: against such things there is no law. ²⁴ And they, that are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with it's passions and desires. ²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. ²⁶ Let us not be vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
