Galatians 5 King James Version 1611
From Textus Receptus
- 1 Stand fast therefore in the libertie wherewith Christ hath made vs free, and bee not intangled againe with the yoke of bondage.
- 2 Beholde, I Paul say vnto you that if ye be circumcised, Christ shal profite you nothing.
- 3 For I testifie againe to euery man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to doe the whole Law.
- 4 Christ is become of no effect vnto you, whosoeuer of you are iustified by the Law: ye are fallen from grace.
- 5 For we through the spirit waite for the hope of righteousnesse by faith.
- 6 For in Iesus Christ, neither circumcision auaileth any thing, nor vncircumcision, but faith which worketh by loue.
- 7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you, that ye should not obey the trueth?
- 8 This perswasion commeth not of him that calleth you.
- 9 A little leauen leaueneth the whole lumpe.
- 10 I 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.
- 11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why doe I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the crosse ceased.
- 12 I would they were euen cut off which trouble you.
- 13 For brethren, ye haue beene called vnto liberty, onely vse not libertie for an occasion to the flesh, but by loue serue one another.
- 14 For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, euen in this: Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
- 15 But if yee bite and deuoure one another, take heed ye be not consumed one of another.
- 16 This I say then, Walke in the spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
- 17 For 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.
- 18 But if yee be lead of the spirit, yee are not vnder the Law.
- 19 Nowe the workes of the flesh are manifest, which are these, adulterie, fornication, vncleannesse, lasciuiousnesse,
- 20 Idolatrie, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
- 21 Enuyings, 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.
- 22 But the fruit of the spirit is loue, ioy, peace, long suffering, gentlenesse, goodnesse, faith,
- 23 Meekenesse, temperance: against such there is no law.
- 24 And they that are Christs, haue crucified the flesh with the affections and lustes.
- 25 If we liue in the Spirit, let vs also walke in the Spirit.
- 26 Let vs not be desirous of vaine glory, prouoking one another, enuying one another.
