King James Version of the Bible

Book of Galatians

Chapter 5



5:1  Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
5:2  Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
5:3  For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
5:4  Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5:5  For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
5:6  For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
5:7  Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
5:8  This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
5:9  A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
5:10  I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
5:11  And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
5:12  I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
5:13  For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
5:14  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
5:15  But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
5:16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
5:17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
5:18  But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
5:19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
5:20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
5:21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
5:23  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
5:24  And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
5:25  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
5:26  Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
