1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye be circumcised, will not do you any good from Christ.
3 I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he should do the whole law.
4 You are justified by the law have been without Christ, fallen from grace,
5 we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
7 You were running well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey 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 not think otherwise; and embarrassing you, whoever he was, bear his judgment.
eleven For that same persecuted me, brethren, if I still preach circumcision? Then the offense of the cross ceased.
12 Oh, if removed were disturbing you!

13 You were called to freedom, brethren, only use not liberty for an occasion to the [pleasing] flesh, but through love serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
15 If one another bite and devour, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh,
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit - against the flesh; they are contrary to one another, so that you do not do what you would like.
18 If you are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 the works of the flesh; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, (temptations), heresies,
21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who do so will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 meekness, temperance. Against such there is no law.
24 But they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, the spirit and should act.
26 Let us not become conceited, irritate each other, envying each other.
