Paul’s Letter to the Galatians

5. fejezet

Fejezetek:

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

2. vers

Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

3. vers

Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4. vers

You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

5. vers

For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

6. vers

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.

7. vers

You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

8. vers

This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

9. vers

A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

10. vers

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.

11. vers

But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

12. vers

I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.

13. vers

For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

14. vers

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

15. vers

But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.

16. vers

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.

17. vers

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.

18. vers

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19. vers

Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

20. vers

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

21. vers

envy, 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 God’s Kingdom.

22. vers

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

23. vers

gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

24. vers

Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

25. vers

If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.

26. vers

Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
