Galatians 5:1-15 - Live In Freedom And Love One Another

¹ Stand firm in the liberty with which Christ made us free, and be not again bound fast to the yoke of bondage. ² Behold, I Paul say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing; ³ yea, I testify again to every one who becometh circumcised, that he is bound to keep the whole Law. ⁴ Ye are entirely separated from Christ, who seek to obtain righteousness through the Law; ye have fallen away from grace. ⁵ For we through the Spirit by faith steadfastly wait for the hope of righteousness. ⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working by love.

⁷ Ye were running well; who hindered you, that ye should not obey the truth? ⁸ This persuasion came not from him that called you. ⁹ A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. ¹⁰ I indeed have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be no otherwise minded; but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whoever he may be. ¹¹ But as for me, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then hath the cross ceased to be a stumblingblock. ¹² Would that they who unsettle you would quite cut themselves off!

¹³ For ye, brethren, were called to liberty; only use not your liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by your love serve one another. ¹⁴ For the whole Law is fulfilled in one commandment, even in this "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." ¹⁵ But if ye bite and devour one another, beware lest ye be consumed by one another.
