| 5:1 | Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again. |
| 5:2 | See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you. |
| 5:3 | Yes, I give witness again to every man who undergoes circumcision, that he will have to keep all the law. |
| 5:4 | You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace. |
| 5:5 | For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness. |
| 5:6 | Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love. |
| 5:7 | You were going on well; who was the cause of your not giving ear to what is true? |
| 5:8 | This ready belief did not come from him who had made you his. |
| 5:9 | A little leaven makes a change in all the mass. |
| 5:10 | I am certain about you in the Lord, that you will be of no other mind; but he who is troubling you will have his punishment, whoever he is. |
| 5:11 | But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away. |
| 5:12 | My desire is that they who give you trouble might even be cut off themselves. |
| 5:13 | Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another. |
| 5:14 | For all the law is made complete in one word, even in this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. |
| 5:15 | But if you are given to fighting with one another, take care that you are not the cause of destruction one to another. |
| 5:16 | But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh. |
| 5:17 | For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do. |
| 5:18 | But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law. |
| 5:19 | Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses, |
| 5:20 | Worship of images, use of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has, angry feelings, attempts to get the better of others, divisions, false teachings, |
| 5:21 | Envy, uncontrolled drinking and feasting, and such things: of which I give you word clearly, even as I did in the past, that they who do such things will have no part in the kingdom of God. |
| 5:22 | But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith, |
| 5:23 | Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law. |
| 5:24 | And those who are Christ's have put to death on the cross the flesh with its passions and its evil desires. |
| 5:25 | If we are living by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us be guided. |
| 5:26 | Let us not be full of self-glory, making one another angry, having envy of one another. |
