New Testament

Galatians 5:3-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

3. For I again testify, about every man circumcising himself, that he is obligated to act according to the entire law.

4. You are being emptied of Christ, you who are being justified by the law. You have fallen from grace.

5. For in spirit, by faith, we await the hope of justice.

6. For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails over anything, but only faith which works through charity.

7. You have run well. So what has impeded you, that you would not obey the truth?

8. This kind of influence is not from him who is calling you.

9. A little leaven corrupts the whole mass.

10. I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will accept nothing of the kind. However, he who disturbs you shall bear the judgment, whomever he may be.

11. And as for me, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still suffering persecution? For then the scandal of the Cross would be made empty.

12. And I wish that those who disturb you would be torn away.

13. For you, brothers, have been called to liberty. Only you must not make liberty into an occasion for the flesh, but instead, serve one another through the charity of the Spirit.
