Galatians 5:1-13 English Revised Version (ERV)

1. With freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.

2. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

3. Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4. Ye are severed from Christ, ye who 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 did hinder 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 stumblingblock of the cross been done away.

12. I would that they which unsettle you would even cut themselves off.

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.
