1

For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.

2

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

3

Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4

Ye are severed from Christ, ye would be justified by the law ye are fallen away from grace.

5

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

6

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

7

Ye were running well who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?

8

This persuasion [came] not of him that calleth you.

9

A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

10

I have confidence to you-ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

11

But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away.

12

I would that they that unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision.

13

For ye, brethren, were called for freedom only [use] not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.

14

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

15

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