Galatians
5
1
For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery.
2
Listen! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you at all!
3
And I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
4
You who are trying to be declared righteous by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace!
5
For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait expectantly for the hope of righteousness.
6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight - the only thing that matters is faith working through love.
7
You were running well; who prevented you from obeying the truth?
8
This persuasion does not come from the one who calls you!
9
A little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise!
10
I am confident in the Lord that you will accept no other view. But the one who is confusing you will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.
11
Now, brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.
12
I wish those agitators would go so far as to castrate themselves!
13
For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to indulge your flesh, but through love serve one another.
14
For the whole law can be summed up in a single commandment, namely, "You must love your neighbor as yourself."
15
However, if you continually bite and devour one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.
