Galatians 5:1 – Galatians 5:26 BSB

Freedom in Christ
1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery. See the Greek order
2 Take notice: I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. See the Greek order
3 Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. See the Greek order
4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. See the Greek order
5 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the hope of righteousness. See the Greek order
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. What matters is faith expressing itself through love. See the Greek order
7 You were running so well. Who has obstructed you from obeying the truth? See the Greek order
8 Such persuasion does not come from the One who calls you. See the Greek order
9 A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough. See the Greek order
10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be. See the Greek order
11 Now, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. See the Greek order
12 As for those who are agitating you, I wish they would proceed to emasculate themselves! See the Greek order
13 For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love. See the Greek order
14 The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” See the Greek order
15 But if you keep on biting and devouring one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another. See the Greek order
Walking by the Spirit
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. See the Greek order
17 For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want. See the Greek order
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. See the Greek order
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; See the Greek order
20 idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, See the Greek order
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. See the Greek order
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, See the Greek order
23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. See the Greek order
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. See the Greek order
25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit. See the Greek order
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying one another. See the Greek order
