Galatians 5:1-15 - Live In Freedom And Love One Another
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and wrap not yourselves again in the yoke of bondage. 2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing at all. 3 I testify again to every man which is circumcised that he is bound to keep the whole law. 4 Ye are gone quite from Christ as many as are justified by the law, and are fallen from grace. 5 We look for, and hope in the spirit, to be justified through faith. 6 For in Jesus Christ, neither is circumcision anything worth, neither yet uncircumcision: but faith, which by love is mighty in operation.
7 Ye did run well. Who was a let unto you, that ye should not obey the truth? 8 Even that counsel that is not of him that called you. 9 A little leaven doth leaven the whole lump of dough. 10 I have trust toward you in God, that ye will be none otherwise minded. He that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whatsoever he be. 11 Brethren, if I yet preach circumcision: why do I then yet suffer persecution? For then had the offense which the cross giveth, ceased. 12 I would to God they were separated from you, which trouble you.
13 Brethren, ye were called into liberty, only let not your liberty be an occasion unto the flesh but in love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, which is this, "Thou shalt love thine neighbour as thyself." 15 If ye bite and devour one another: take heed lest ye be consumed one of another.
