## Christ Set Us Free
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
It was for freedom that Christ set us free. Therefore, stand firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
You have been severed from Christ, you who are being justified by law; you have fallen from grace!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
For we through the Spirit, by faith, are eagerly waiting for the hope of righteousness.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
This persuasion _is_ not from Him who calls you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view. But the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross would have been abolished.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
I wish that those who are upsetting you would even mutilate themselves.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
For you were called to freedom, brothers; only _do_ not _turn_ your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
But if you bite and devour one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Walk by the Spirit
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
But I say, walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you do not do the things that you want.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 24
|
||
|
|
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 25
|
||
|
|
If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk in step with the Spirit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 26
|
||
|
|
Let us not become _those_ with vain glory, challenging one another, envying one another.
|
