Book of Galatians Chapter 5

Galatians 5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:2 Now I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you.
Galatians 5:3 I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is bound to keep the whole law.
Galatians 5:4 You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.
Galatians 5:5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness.
Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.
Galatians 5:7 You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?
Galatians 5:8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
Galatians 5:9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
Galatians 5:10 I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine; and he who is troubling you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
Galatians 5:11 But if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
Galatians 5:12 I wish those who unsettle you would mutilate themselves!
Galatians 5:13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another.
Galatians 5:14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
Galatians 5:15 But if you bite and devour one another take heed that you are not consumed by one another.
Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Galatians 5:17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would.
Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law.
Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness,
Galatians 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit,
Galatians 5:21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Galatians 5:23 gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
Galatians 5:26 Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another.
