The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Galatians

 1 ^aStand fast therefore in the ^bliberty wherewith Christ hath made us ^cfree, and be not ^dentangled again with the yoke of ^ebondage.

 2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

 3 For I testify again to every man that is ^acircumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the ^alaw; ye are fallen from ^bgrace.

 5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by ^afaith.

 6 For in Jesus Christ neither ^acircumcision ^bavaileth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but ^cfaith which worketh by ^dlove.

 7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not ^aobey the truth?

 8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.

 9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

 10 I have ^aconfidence in you through the Lord, that ye ^bwill be none otherwise minded: but he that ^ctroubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

 11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the ^aoffence of the cross ceased.

 12 I would they were even ^acut off which ^btrouble you.

 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto ^aliberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love ^bserve one another.

 14 For all the ^alaw is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt ^blove thy neighbour as thyself.

 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

 16 This I say then, ^aWalk in the ^bSpirit, and ye shall not fulfil the ^clust of the flesh.

 17 For the flesh lusteth against the ^aSpirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

 18 But if ye be ^aled of the Spirit, ye are not under the ^blaw.

 19 Now the works of the ^aflesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, ^bfornication, ^cuncleanness, lasciviousness,

 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, ^astrife, seditions, heresies,

 21 ^aEnvyings, murders, ^bdrunkenness, ^crevellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

 22 But the ^afruit of the ^bSpirit is ^clove, ^djoy, ^epeace, ^flongsuffering, ^ggentleness, goodness, ^hfaith,

 23 ^aMeekness, ^btemperance: against such there is no law.

 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the ^aaffections and lusts.

 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, ^aprovoking one another, envying one another.
