Dual Panel1It was for freedom<1657> that Christ<5547> set<1659> us free<1659>; therefore<3767> keep standing<4739> firm<4739> and do not be subject<1758> again<3825> to a yoke<2218> of slavery<1397>.
2Behold<2396> I, Paul<3972>, say<3004> to you that if<1437> you receive<4059> circumcision<4059>, Christ<5547> will be of no<3762> benefit<5623> to you.
3And I testify<3143> again<3825> to every<3956> man<444> who receives<4059> circumcision<4059>, that he is under<3781> obligation<3781> to keep<4160> the whole<3650> Law<3551>.
4You have been severed<2673> from Christ<5547>, you who<3748> are seeking to be justified<1344> by law<3551>; you have fallen<1601> from grace<5485>.
5For we through the Spirit<4151>, by faith<4102>, are waiting<553> for the hope<1680> of righteousness<1343>.
6For in Christ<5547> Jesus<2424> neither<3777> circumcision<4061> nor<3777> uncircumcision<203> means<2480> anything<5100>, but faith<4102> working<1754> through<1223> love<26>.
7You were running<5143> well<2573>; who<5101> hindered<1465> you from obeying<3982> the truth<225>?
8This<3588> persuasion<3988> did not come from Him who calls<2564> you.
9A little<3398> leaven<2219> leavens<2220> the whole<3650> lump<5445> of dough.
10I have<3982> confidence<3982> in you in the Lord<2962> that you will adopt<5426> no<3762> other<243> view<5426>; but the one who is disturbing<5015> you will bear<941> his judgment<2917>, whoever<3748><1437> he is.
11But I, brethren<80>, if<1487> I still<2089> preach<2784> circumcision<4061>, why<5101> am I still<2089> persecuted<1377>? Then<686> the stumbling<4625> block<4625> of the cross<4716> has been abolished<2673>.
12I wish<3785> that those<3588> who are troubling<387> you would even<2532> mutilate<609> themselves.
13For you were called<2564> to freedom<1657>, brethren<80>; only<3440> do not turn your freedom<1657> into an opportunity<874> for the flesh<4561>, but through<1223> love<26> serve<1398> one<240> another<240>.
14For the whole<3956> Law<3551> is fulfilled<4137> in one<1520> word<3056>, in the statement, "YOU SHALL LOVE<25> YOUR NEIGHBOR<4139> AS YOURSELF<4572>."
15But if<1487> you bite<1143> and devour<2719> one<240> another<240>, take<991> care<991> that you are not consumed<355> by one<240> another<240>.
16But I say<3004>, walk<4043> by the Spirit<4151>, and you will not carry<5055> out the desire<1939> of the flesh<4561>.
17For the flesh<4561> sets<1937> its desire<1937> against<2596> the Spirit<4151>, and the Spirit<4151> against<2596> the flesh<4561>; for these<3778> are in opposition<480> to one<240> another<240>, so<2443> that you may not do<4160> the things that you please<2309>.
18But if<1487> you are led<71> by the Spirit<4151>, you are not under<5259> the Law<3551>.
19Now<1161> the deeds<2041> of the flesh<4561> are evident<5318>, which<3748> are: immorality<4202>, impurity<167>, sensuality<766>,
20idolatry<1495>, sorcery<5331>, enmities<2189>, strife<2054>, jealousy<2205>, outbursts<2372> of anger<2372>, disputes<2052>, dissensions<1370>, factions<139>,
21envying<5355>, drunkenness<3178>, carousing<2970>, and things like<3664> these<3778>, of which<3739> I forewarn<4302> you, just<2531> as I have forewarned<4275> you, that those<3588> who practice<4238> such<5108> things<5108> will not inherit<2816> the kingdom<932> of God<2316>.
22But the fruit<2590> of the Spirit<4151> is love<26>, joy<5479>, peace<1515>, patience<3115>, kindness<5544>, goodness<19>, faithfulness<4102>,
23gentleness<4240>, self-control<1466>; against<2596> such<5108> things<5108> there is no<3756> law<3551>.
24Now<1161> those<3588> who belong to Christ<5547> Jesus<2424> have crucified<4717> the flesh<4561> with its passions<3804> and desires<1939>.
25If<1487> we live<2198> by the Spirit<4151>, let us also<2532> walk<4748> by the Spirit<4151>.
26Let us not become<1096> boastful<2755>, challenging<4292> one<240> another<240>, envying<5354> one<240> another<240>.
