¹⁷ Now ^(A)the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is ^(B)liberty.

Christian Liberty

5 ^(A)Stand^[a] fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a ^(B)yoke of bondage.

¹⁸ But ^(A)if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

²³ For ^(A)if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; ²⁴ for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. ²⁵ But ^(B)he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, ^(C)this one will be blessed in what he does.

² For ^(A)the law of ^(B)the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from ^(C)the law of sin and death.

²¹ because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of ^[a]corruption into the glorious ^(A)liberty of the children of God.

¹² So speak and so do as those who will be judged by ^(A)the law of liberty.
