Galatians 5

¹ For freedom has Christ freed you; be standing therefore and be not being subject again to the yoke of slavery. ² Behold I Paul say to you that if you be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. ³ For I again testify to every man being circumcised that he is debtor to do the whole law. ⁴ You have disassociated from Christ, whoever [of you] is justified in the law, you have fallen from grace. ⁵ For we by [the] spirit await from faith [the] hope of justness. ⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but faith working through agape-love. ⁷ You were running well, what hindered you to not be being persuaded to [the] truth? ⁸ This persuasion [is] not from the [one] calling you. ⁹ [A] little leaven leavens the whole lump. ¹⁰ I am persuaded for you in the Lord that you will think on nothing else; but the [one] troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he be. ¹¹ But I, brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Therefore the stumbling of the cross is nullified. ¹² O that those upsetting you even be cut off.

¹³ For you were called to freedom, brothers, only not the freedom for pretext in the flesh, but through agape-love be enslaved to one another. ¹⁴ For the law is fulfilled in one word, in the: You will agape-love your neighbor as yourself. ¹⁵ But if you bite and devour one another, be seeing that you not be consumed by one another. ¹⁶ But I say, be walking in [the] spirit and you will not complete¹ the lust of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh lusts against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, lest you do those [things] which you want. ¹⁸ But if you are led by [the] spirit, you are not under law. ¹⁹ But manifest are the works of the flesh, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy², wrath, selfishness³, dissension, factions⁴, ²¹ envy, drunkenness, partying, and the like, of which I tell you before, that those practicing such will not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the spirit is agape-love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, trustworthiness, ²³ gentleness, self-control, against such there is no law. ²⁴ And they of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with [its] passions⁵ and [its] lusts. ²⁵ If we zoe-live in [the] spirit, let us also be in line with [the] spirit. ²⁶ Let us not become conceited, provoking⁶ one another, envying one another.
