NASB — Galatians 5 — KJV

Walk by the Spirit

1 IaIt was for freedom° that Christ° set° us free°; therefore° bkeep standing° firm° and do not be subject° again° to a cyoke° of slavery°.

[1] ISome authorities prefer to join with 4:31 and render but with the freedom of the free woman Christ set us free aJn 8:32, 36; Ro 8:15; 2Co 3:17; Ga 2:4; 5:13 b1Co 16:13 cAc 15:10; Ga 2:4

2 ¶ Behold° I, aPaul°, say° to you that if° you receive° bcircumcision°, Christ° will be of no° benefit° to you. 3 And I atestify° again° to every° man° who receives° bcircumcision°, that he is under° obligation° to ckeep° the whole° Law°. 4 You have been severed° from Christ°, you who° Iare seeking to be justified° by law°; you have afallen° from grace°. 5 For we Ithrough the Spirit°, IIby faith°, are awaiting° for the hope° of righteousness°. 6 For in aChrist° Jesus° bneither° circumcision° nor° uncircumcision° means° anything°, but cfaith° working° through° love°.

He moveth them to stand in their liberty,

1 ¶ Stand fastºª thereforeº in the² libertyº wherewithº Christº hath made¹ª us¹ free,ºª² andº be¹ª notº entangled¹ª again¹ with²² the yokeº of bondage.º 2 Behold,º Iº Paulº sayºª unto you,º thatº ifº ye be circumcised,ºª Christº shall profitºª youº nothing.º

and not to observe circumcision:

3 Forº I testifyºª againº to everyº manº that is circumcised,ºª thatº he isºª a debtorº to doºª the² wholeº law.º 4 Christº is become of no effect² unto you,¹¹ª whosoever² of you¹ are justifiedºª byº the law;º ye are fallen² from¹ª grace.º 5 Forº weº through the Spiritº wait forºª the hopeº of righteousnessº byº faith.º 6 Forº inº Jesusº Christº neitherº circumcisionº availethºª any thing,º norº uncircumcision;º butº faithº which workethºª byº love.º 7 Ye did runºª well;º whoº did hinderºªª¹ youº that ye should¹ª notº obeyºª the² truth?º 8 This persuasionº [cometh] notº ofº him that callethºª you.º 9 A littleº leavenº leavenethºª the² wholeº lump.º 10 Iº have confidenceºª inº youº throughº the Lord,º thatº ye will be¹ª none¹ otherwise¹ minded:ºª²² butº he that troublethºª youº shall bearºª his judgment,º whosoeverº² he be.º¹ª 11 Andº I,º brethren,º ifº I¹ª yetº preachºª circumcision,º whyº do I¹ª yetº suffer persecution?ºª thenº is¹ª the² offenceº of the² crossº ceased.ºª 12 I wouldº they were¹ª evenº cut offºª which troubleºª you.º
