Galatians 5

¹Stand fast therefore in the libertie wherewith Christ hath made vs free, and bee not intangled againe with the yoke of bondage.

²Beholde, I Paul say vnto you that if ye be circumcised, Christ shal profite you nothing.

³For I testifie againe to euery man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to doe the whole Law.

⁴Christ is become of no effect vnto you, whosoeuer of you are iustified by the Law: ye are fallen from grace.

⁵For we through the spirit waite for the hope of righteousnesse by faith.

⁶For in Iesus Christ, neither circumcision auaileth any thing, nor vncircumcision, but faith which worketh by loue.

⁷Ye did run well; who did hinder you, that ye should not obey the trueth?

⁸This perswasion commeth not of him that calleth you.

⁹A little leauen leaueneth the whole lumpe.

¹⁰I haue confidence in you through the Lord, that you will be none otherwise minded; but he that troubleth you, shall beare his iudgement, whosoeuer hee be.

¹¹And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why doe I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the crosse ceased.

¹²I would they were euen cut off which trouble you.

¹³For brethren, ye haue beene called vnto liberty, onely vse not libertie for an occasion to the flesh, but by loue serue one another.

¹⁴For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, euen in this: Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.

¹⁵But if yee bite and deuoure one another, take heed ye be not consumed one of another.

¹⁶This I say then, Walke in the spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

¹⁷For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that yee cannot doe the things that yee would.

¹⁸But if yee be lead of the spirit, yee are not vnder the Law.

¹⁹Nowe the workes of the flesh are manifest, which are these, adulterie, fornication, vncleannesse, lasciuiousnesse,

²⁰Idolatrie, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

²¹Enuyings, murthers, drunkennesse, reuellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I haue also tolde you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherite the kingdome of God.

²²But the fruit of the spirit is loue, ioy, peace, long suffering, gentlenesse, goodnesse, faith,

²³Meekenesse, temperance: against such there is no law.

²⁴And they that are Christs, haue crucified the flesh with the affections and lustes.

²⁵If we liue in the Spirit, let vs also walke in the Spirit.

²⁶Let vs not be desirous of vaine glory, prouoking one another, enuying one another.
