005:010 For my part I have strong confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt my view of the matter. But the man-- be he who he may--who is troubling you, will have to bear the full weight of the judgement to be pronounced on him. 005:011 As for me, brethren, if I am still a preacher of circumcision, how is it that I am still suffering persecution? In that case the Cross has ceased to be a stumbling-block! 005:012 Would to God that those who are unsettling your faith would even mutilate themselves. 005:013 You however, brethren, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an excuse for giving way to your lower natures; but become bondservants to one another in a spirit of love. 005:014 For the entire Law has been obeyed when you have kept the single precept, which says, "You are to love your fellow man equally with yourself." 005:015 But if you are perpetually snarling and snapping at one another, beware lest you are destroyed by one another. 005:016 This then is what I mean. Let your lives be guided by the Spirit, and then you will certainly not indulge the cravings of your lower natures. 005:017 For the cravings of the lower nature are opposed to those of the Spirit, and the cravings of the Spirit are opposed to those of the lower nature; because these are antagonistic to each other, so that you cannot do everything to which you are inclined. 005:018 But if the Spirit is leading you, you are not subject to Law. 005:019 Now you know full well the doings of our lower natures. Fornication, impurity, indecency, idol-worship, sorcery; 005:020 enmity, strife, jealousy, outbursts of passion, intrigues, dissensions, factions, envyings; 005:021 hard drinking, riotous feasting, and the like. And as to these I forewarn you, as I have already forewarned you, that those who are guilty of such things will have no share in the Kingdom of God. 005:022 The Spirit, on the other hand, brings a harvest of love, joy, peace; patience towards others, kindness, benevolence; 005:023 good faith, meekness, self-restraint. 005:024 Against such things as these there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their lower nature with its passions and appetites. 005:025 If we are living by the Spirit's power, let our conduct also be governed by the Spirit's power. 005:026 Let us not become vain-glorious, challenging one another, envying one another. 006:001 Brethren, if anybody be detected in any misconduct, you who are spiritual should restore such a one in a spirit of meekness. And let each of you keep watch over himself, lest he also fall into temptation. 006:002 Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole of Christ's Law.
