¶ Stand¹ fast therefore in the liberty² wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled³ again with the yoke of bondage.

Behold, I Paul⁴ say unto you, that⁵ if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

For I testify⁶ again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor⁷ to do the whole law.

Christ is⁸ become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified⁹ by the law; ye¹⁰ are fallen from grace.

For we through¹¹ the Spirit wait¹² for the hope¹³ of righteousness by faith.

For in¹⁴ Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith¹⁵ which worketh by love.

Ye did run¹⁶ well; who did hinder you¹⁷ that ye should not obey¹⁸ the truth?

This persuasion cometh not of him¹⁹ that calleth you.

²⁰A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

¶ I have confidence²¹ in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but²² he that troubleth you shall bear²³ his judgment, whosoever²⁴ he be.

And I, brethren, if²⁵ I yet preach circumcision, why²⁶ do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence²⁷ of the cross ceased.

I would they were even cut²⁸ off which trouble²⁹ you.

¶ For, brethren, ye³⁰ have been called unto liberty; only³¹ use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but³² by love serve one another.

For all³³ the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou³⁴ shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

³⁵But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

This I say³⁶ then, Walk³⁷ in the Spirit, and³⁸ ye shall not fulfil³⁹ the lust of the flesh.

For the flesh⁴⁰ lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these⁴¹ are contrary the one to the other: so⁴² that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

But if⁴³ ye be led of the Spirit, ye are⁴⁴ not under the law.

Now the works⁴⁵ of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery⁴⁶, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

¶ Idolatry, witchcraft⁴⁷, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies⁴⁸,

Envyings, murders, drunkenness⁴⁹, revellings⁵⁰, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they⁵¹ which do such things shall not inherit⁵² the kingdom of God.

But the fruit⁵³ of the Spirit is love⁵⁴, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness⁵⁵, faith⁵⁶,

Meekness, temperance⁵⁷: against⁵⁸ such there is no law.

And they⁵⁹ that are Christ's have crucified⁶⁰ the flesh with the affections⁶¹ and lusts.

If we⁶² live in the Spirit, let⁶³ us also walk in the Spirit.

Let us not be desirous⁶⁴ of vain glory, provoking⁶⁵ one another, envying one another.
