| 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 `is' 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 neighbor 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! |
