ULT GAL Chapter 5

5 For freedom Christ set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not again be subjected to a yoke of slavery.

2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you that if you would be circumcised, Christ will benefit you nothing. 3 Now I testify again to every man being circumcised that he is obligated to do the whole law. 4 You were cut off from Christ, whoever is being justified by law; you fell 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 is capable of anything, but only faith working through love. 7 You were running well. Who hindered you, not to be persuaded by truth? 8 This persuasion is not from the one calling you! 9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10 I am confident in you in the Lord that you will think nothing otherwise. But the one troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be. 11 But brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed. 12 I wish the ones disturbing you will even castrate themselves!

13 For you have been called to freedom, brothers, only not the freedom for an opportunity for the flesh; rather, through love serve one another. 14 For all the law has been fulfilled in one command, in this, “You will love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you are biting and devouring one another, watch out that you might not be consumed by one another.

16 Now I say, walk by the Spirit and you would certainly not fulfill desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. For these oppose each other, so that you are not doing these things that you would desire. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, factions, 21 envy, drunkenness, drunken celebrations, and things like these, about which I warn you, just as I warned you before, that the ones practicing such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 But the ones of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the desires.

25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. 26 Let us not become boastful, provoking one another, envying one another.
