Galatians 5:1-6

Tree of Life Version

Freedom Based on Favor

5 For freedom, Messiah set us free—so stand firm, and do not be burdened by a yoke of slavery again. ² Listen—I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Messiah will be of no benefit to you. ³ Again I testify to every man who lets himself be circumcised, that he is obligated to keep the whole Torah. ⁴ You who are trying to be justified by Torah^[a] have been cut off from Messiah; you have fallen away from grace. ⁵ For through the Ruach, by faith, we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. ⁶ For in Messiah Yeshua, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any meaning—but only trust and faithfulness expressing itself through love.
