Christ Set Us Free

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:1 -

[fn]It was for freedom that Christ set us free. Therefore, stand firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:2 -

Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:3 - And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:4 - You have been [fn]severed from Christ, you who are being justified by law; you have fallen from grace!
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:5 - For we [fn]through the Spirit, [fn]by faith, are eagerly waiting for the hope of righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:6 - For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:7 -

You were running well; who hindered you from [fn]obeying the truth?

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:8 - This persuasion is not from Him who calls you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:9 - A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:10 - I have confidence [fn]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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:11 - But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross would have been abolished.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:12 - I wish that those who are upsetting you would even [fn]mutilate themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:13 -

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.

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:14 - For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:15 - But if you bite and devour one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.

Walk by the Spirit

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:16 -

But I say, walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:17 - For the flesh [fn]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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:18 - But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:19 - Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:20 - idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, [fn]factions,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:21 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:23 - gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:24 - Now those who [fn]belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:25 -

If we live by the Spirit, let us also [fn]walk in step with the Spirit.

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:26 - Let us not become those with vain glory, challenging one another, envying one another.
