Backsliding » Is departing from the simplicity of the gospel
Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ.
O foolish Galatians, who did bewitch you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth crucified? This only would I learn from you. Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now perfected in the flesh?
Ye are severed from Christ, ye would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.
