Galatians Chapter 5

            2 Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you are circumcised, Christ will┘not└benefit you anything. 3 And I-testify again to every man (that is) circumcised that he is (a) debtor to-do the whole Law. 4 You-have-been-cut-off from Christ, (you) who are-justified by law; you-fell from [the] grace. 5 For we by-(the)-spirit out-of trust are-waiting-for (the) hope of-righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision accomplishes anything nor uncircumcision, but trust working through love.

            7 You-were-running well. Who prevented you not to-obey the truth? The persuasion (was) not from the-One calling you. 9 (A) little yeast leavens the whole lump. 10 I am-confident in you in (the) Lord that you-will-adopt no other thing, but the-one disturbing you will-bear [the] judgment, whoever2 he-is. 11 But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am-I┘still└being-persecuted? Then the stumbling-block of-the cross would-disappear. 12 I-wish the-ones troubling you will┘even└mutilate themselves!

            13 For you were-called for freedom, brothers. Only (do) not (use) [the] freedom as (an) occasion for the flesh, but through [the] love serve one-another. 14 For all the Law has-been-fulfilled in one statement—in [the], “You-shall-love the neighbor of-you as yourself.” 15 And if you bite and devour one-another, beware lest you-get-consumed by one-another.

            16 I tell you, walk by (the) spirit and you-will┘certainly not└be-fulfilling (the) desire of-(the)-flesh. 17 For the flesh desires against the spirit, and the spirit (desires) against the flesh, for these are-opposed to one-another, in-order-that not what you want these-things you-do. 18 But if you-are-led by (the) spirit, you-are not under law. 19 Now the deeds of-the flesh are evident, which are sexual-immorality, uncleanness, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, rivalry, jealous, rages, disputes, divisions, factions, 21 envyings, drunkenness, carousings, and the-things like these, which I-say┘to-you└ahead-of time, as I-told-(you)-before, [that] the-ones doing [the] such-things will┘not└inherit (the) kingdom of-God.

            22 But the fruit of-the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. No law exists against [the] such-things. 24 But the-ones of-Christ [Jesus]ms crucified the flesh with the/its passions and the/its desires. 25 If we-have-life by-(the)-spirit, let-us┘also└conduct-ourselves by-(the)-spirit. Let-us┘not└become-boastful, irritating one-another, envying one-another.
