Galatians 5:1-12 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
1
For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
2
Listen! I, Paul, am telling you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
3
Once again I testify to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obliged to obey the entire law.
4
You who want to be justified by the law have cut yourselves off from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
5
For through the Spirit, by faith, we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.
6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; the only thing that counts is faith working a through love.
7
You were running well; who prevented you from obeying the truth?
8
Such persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.
9
A little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough.
10
I am confident about you in the Lord that you will not think otherwise. But whoever it is that is confusing you will pay the penalty.
11
But my friends, b why am I still being persecuted if I am still preaching circumcision? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.
12
I wish those who unsettle you would castrate themselves!
