Sha'ul�s Letter to the Galatians, Chapter 5
{5:1} Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Messiah has made
us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. {5:2}
Behold, I, Sha'ul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Messiah
will profit you nothing. {5:3} Yes, I testify again to every man who
receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. {5:4}
You are alienated from Messiah, you who desire to be justified by the
law. You have fallen away from grace. {5:5} For we, through the
Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness. {5:6} For in
Messiah Yeshua neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor
uncircumcision, but faith working through love. {5:7} You were running
well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
{5:8} This persuasion is not from him who calls you. {5:9} A little
yeast grows through the whole lump. {5:10} I have confidence toward
you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles
you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
{5:11} But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I
still persecuted? Then the stumbling-block of the cross has been
removed. {5:12} I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves
off. {5:13} For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use
your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to
one another. {5:14} For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in
this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." {5:15} But if you
bite and devour one another, be careful that you don't consume one
another. {5:16} But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill
the lust of the flesh. {5:17} For the flesh lusts against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to
the other, that you may not do the things that you desire. {5:18} But
if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. {5:19} Now
the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual
immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, {5:20} idolatry, sorcery,
hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions,
heresies, {5:21} envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things
like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you,
that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of
God.
{5:22} But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, shalom, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, {5:23} gentleness, and self-control.
Against such things there is no law. {5:24} Those who belong to
Messiah have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. {5:25}
If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit. {5:26} Let's
not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
