New Testament

Galatians 5:4-17 American Standard Version (ASV)

4. Ye are severed from Christ, ye would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.

5. For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

6. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

7. Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?

8. This persuasion came not of him that calleth you.

9. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

10. I have confidence to you-ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

11. But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away.

12. I would that they that unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision.

13. For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.

14. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

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

16. But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.
