Backsliding » Is departing from the simplicity of the gospel
Ye did run well; who hindered you that ye should not trust in the truth?
But I fear that as the serpent deceived Eve through his craftiness, so your senses should be corrupted in some way, and ye should fall from the simplicity that is in the Christ.
O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you that ye should not trust in the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Did ye receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by the obedient ear of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun by the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Ye are empty of the Christ, whosoever of you that justify yourselves by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
