Galatians 5:1-12

Modern English Version

5 For freedom Christ freed us. Stand fast therefore and do not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Christian Freedom

² Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. ³ I testify again to every man who is circumcised that he is obligated to keep the whole law. ⁴ You have been cut off from Christ, whoever of you are justified by law; you have fallen from grace. ⁵ For we, through the Spirit, by faith, eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. ⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith which works through love.

⁷ You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? ⁸ This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. ⁹ A little yeast leavens the whole batch. ¹⁰ I have confidence in you through the Lord that you will not think otherwise. But he who is troubling you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is. ¹¹ Brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased. ¹² I wish that those who are troubling you would castrate themselves!
