Chapter Text
5:1 Stand fast therefore in the libertie wherewith Christ hath made vs free, and be not intangled againe with the yoke of bondage.
5:2 Beholde, I Paul say vnto you, that if yee be circumcised, Christ shall profite you nothing.
5:3 For I testifie againe to euery man, which is circumcised, that he is bound to keepe the whole Lawe.
5:4 Ye are abolished from Christ: whosoeuer are iustified by the Law, ye are fallen from grace.
5:5 For we through the Spirit waite for the hope of righteousnes through faith.
5:6 For in Iesus Christ neither circumcision auaileth any thing, neither vncircumcision, but faith which worketh by loue.
5:7 Ye did runne well: who did let you, that ye did not obey the trueth?
5:8 It is not the perswasion of him that calleth you.
5:9 A litle leauen doeth leauen the whole lumpe.
5:10 I haue trust in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but hee that troubleth you, shall beare his condemnation, whosoeuer he be.
5:11 And brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why doe I yet suffer persecution? Then is the slaunder of the crosse abolished.
5:12 Would to God they were euen cut off, which doe disquiet you.
5:13 For brethren, ye haue bene called vnto libertie: onely vse not your libertie as an occasion vnto the flesh, but by loue serue one another.
5:14 For all the Lawe is fulfilled in one worde, which is this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
5:15 If ye bite and deuoure one another, take heede least ye be consumed one of another.
5:16 Then I say, Walke in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lustes of the flesh.
5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary one to another, so that ye can not doe the same things that ye would.
5:18 And if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not vnder the Lawe.
5:19 Moreouer the workes of the flesh are manifest, which are adulterie, fornication, vncleannes, wantonnes,
5:20 Idolatrie, witchcraft, hatred, debate, emulations, wrath, contentions, seditions, heresies,
5:21 Enuie, murthers, drunkennesse, gluttonie, and such like, whereof I tell you before, as I also haue tolde you before, that they which doe such things, shall not inherite the kingdome of God.
5:22 But the fruite of the Spirit is loue, ioye, peace, long suffering, gentlenes, goodnes, fayth,
5:23 Meekenesse, temperancie: against such there is no lawe.
5:24 For they that are Christes, haue crucified the flesh with the affections and the lustes.
5:25 If we liue in the Spirit, let vs also walke in the Spirit.
5:26 Let vs not be desirous of vaine glorie, prouoking one another, enuying one another.
