Galatians 5:7-12
New International Version
Galatians 5:7-12
New International Version
7 You were running a good race.(A) Who cut in on you(B) to keep you from obeying the truth? 8 That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.(C) 9 “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”(D) 10 I am confident(E) in the Lord that you will take no other view.(F) The one who is throwing you into confusion,(G) whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty. 11 Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted?(H) In that case the offense(I) of the cross has been abolished. 12 As for those agitators,(J) I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
Galatians 5:7-12
King James Version
Galatians 5:7-12
King James Version
7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

7 You (A)ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. 9 (B)A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
11 And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, (C)why do I still suffer persecution? Then (D)the offense of the cross has ceased. 12 (E)I could wish that those (F)who trouble you would even [a]cut themselves off!
