KJ3 Literal Translation
Galatians 5
1 He moves them to stand in their liberty, 3 and not to observe circumcision: 13 but rather love, which is the sum of the law.
1Therefore stand firm in the freedom with which Christ made us free and do not be held again with a yoke of slavery.
2Behold, I, Paul, say to you that if you are circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
3And I testify again to every man being circumcised, that he is a debtor to do all the Law,
4you, whoever are justified by Law, you were severed from the Christ, you fell from grace.
5For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness out of faith.
6For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any strength, but faith working through love.
7You were running well; who beat you back that you do not obey the truth?
8The persuasion is not from Him calling you.
9A little leaven leavens all the lump.
10I trust as to you in the Lord that you will think nothing else, but that the one troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.
11But I, brothers, if I proclaim circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling-block of the Cross has passed away.
12O that also the ones unsettling you will cut themselves off.
13For, brothers, you were called to freedom. Only do not use the freedom for an opening to the flesh. But through love be slaves to one another.
14For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Lev. 19:18
15But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not consumed by one another.
16But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another; that not whatever you may will, but these things you do.
18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under Law.
19Now the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness,
20idolatry, sorcery, enmities, fightings, jealousies, angers, intrigues, dissensions, heresies,
21envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you beforehand, even as I also said before, that the ones practicing such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
23meekness, self-control. Against such things there is not a law.
24But the ones belonging to Christ crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26Let us not become self-conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
