Galatians 5 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Walk by the Spirit

Gal 5:1[fn]It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
Gal 5:2Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
Gal 5:3And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.
Gal 5:4You have been severed from Christ, you who [fn]are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
Gal 5:5For we [fn]through the Spirit, [fn]by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.
Gal 5:6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.
Gal 5:7You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?
Gal 5:8This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you.
Gal 5:9A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.
Gal 5:10I 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.
Gal 5:11But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.
Gal 5:12I wish that those who are troubling you would even [fn]mutilate themselves.
Gal 5:13For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
Gal 5:14For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”
Gal 5:15But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.
Gal 5:16But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.
Gal 5:17For 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 may not do the things that you [fn]please.
Gal 5:18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
Gal 5:19Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: [fn]immorality, impurity, sensuality,
Gal 5:20idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, [fn]factions,
Gal 5:21envying, 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.
Gal 5:22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Gal 5:23gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Gal 5:24Now those who [fn]belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Gal 5:25If we live by the Spirit, let us also [fn]walk by the Spirit.
Gal 5:26Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
