| 5:1 | Christian LibertyThe Works of the Flesh and of the Spirit Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. |
| 5:2 | Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. |
| 5:3 | And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. |
| 5:4 | You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. |
| 5:5 | For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. |
| 5:6 | For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.Love Fulfills the Law |
| 5:7 | You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? |
| 5:8 | This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. |
| 5:9 | A little leaven leavens the whole lump. |
| 5:10 | I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is. |
| 5:11 | And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased. |
| 5:12 | I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off! |
| 5:13 | For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. |
| 5:14 | For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." |
| 5:15 | But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!Walking in the Spirit |
| 5:16 | I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not 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 to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. |
| 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 evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, |
| 5:20 | idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, |
| 5:21 | envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. |
| 5:22 | But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, |
| 5:23 | gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. |
| 5:24 | And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. |
| 5:25 | If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. |
| 5:26 | Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. |
