# Galatians 5

*TJie liberty of the gospel— The works of flesh— — The fruits of the Spirit.*

**1** Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
**2** Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
**3** For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
**4** Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
**5** For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
**6** For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
**7** Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
**8** This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
**9** A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
**10** I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
**11** And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
**12** I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
**13** For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
**14** For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
**15** But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
**16** This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil 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 ye cannot do the things that ye would.
**18** But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
**19** Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
**20** Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
**21** Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
**22** But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
**23** Meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.
**24** And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
**25** If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
**26** Let us not be desirous of vainglory, provoking one another, envying one another.
