5:1 Therefore stand-firm* in the freedom in which Christ made us free, and do* not be held again in a yoke of bondage.
5:2 Behold, I Paul say to you*, that, if you* are circumcised, Christ will be profiting you* nothing.
5:3 Now, I am testifying again to every man being circumcised, that he is a debtor to practice the whole law.
5:4 You* were done-away-with, cut off from the Christ, you* who are made righteous by the law; you* fell from the grace of God.
5:5 For* we are waiting for the hope of righteousness in a Spirit from faith.
5:6 For* neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails over anything in Christ Jesus, but faith working through love*.
5:7 You* were running well; who hindered you*, saying, The truth is not to be obeyed?
5:8 This persuasion is not from the one who is calling you*.
5:9 A little leaven leavens the whole batch.
5:10 I have confidence in you* in the Lord, that you* will not be mindful of another person and he who is disturbing you* will be bearing his judgment, whoever he is.
5:11 But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Consequently*, has the offense of the cross been done-away?
5:12 I wish-that those who are unsettling you* will even castrate themselves.
5:13 For* brethren, you* were called upon the basis of freedom; only do not use your* freedom *for a starting-point for the flesh, but serve** one another through love*.
5:14 For* all the law is fulfilled in one word, in this: 'You will love* your neighbor like yourself.' {Lev 19:18}
5:15 But if you* are biting and devouring one another, beware*, that you* may not be consumed by one another.
5:16 But I am saying, walk* by the Spirit and you* should never complete the lust of the flesh.
5:17 For* the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh, and these lay in opposition to one another; in order that you* may not do* these things which you* would wish.
5:18 But if you* are led by the Spirit, you* are not under the law.
5:19 Now the works of the flesh are apparent, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, unbridled-lust,
5:20 idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strifes, jealousies, furies, selfish ambitions, dissensions, sects,
5:21 envies, murders, drunkennesses, revelings and things similar to these things; which I am saying to you* beforehand, also just-as I foretold to you*, that those who are practicing such things-- they will not be inheriting the kingdom of God!
5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love*, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
5:23 meekness and self-control. There is no law against such.
5:24 But those who are of the Christ crucified the flesh together with its passions and lusts.
5:25 If we are living in the Spirit, we should also march in the Spirit.
5:26 Do* not become conceited, inflaming one another, envying one another.
