005:004 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified
by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
005:005 For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the
hope of righteousness.
005:006 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything,
nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
005:007 You were running well! Who interfered with you that you
should not obey the truth?
005:008 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
005:009 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
005:010 I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think
no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment,
whoever he is.
005:011 But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I
still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross
has been removed.
005:012 I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
005:013 For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use
your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants
to one another.
005:014 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this:
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself."{Leviticus 19:18}
005:015 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you
don't consume one another.
005:016 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust
of the flesh.
005:017 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit
against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another,
that you may not do the things that you desire.
005:018 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
005:019 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are:
adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
005:020 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger,
rivalries, divisions, heresies,
005:021 envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these;
of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you,
that those who practice such things will not inherit
the Kingdom of God.
005:022 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faith,{or, faithfulness}
005:023 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there
is no law.
005:024 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its
passions and lusts.
005:025 If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.
005:026 Let's not become conceited, provoking one another,
and envying one another.
006:001 Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are
spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness;
looking to yourself so that you also aren't tempted.
006:002 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
006:003 For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing,
he deceives himself.
