Galatians 5
Authorized King James Version (1769) with AI Commentary
1Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.🔗🔍
2Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.🔗🔍
3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.🔗🔍
4Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.🔗🔍
5For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.🔗🔍
6For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.🔗🔍
7Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?🔗🔍
8This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.🔗🔍
9A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.🔗🔍
10I 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.🔗🔍
11And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.🔗🔍
12I would they were even cut off which trouble you.🔗🔍
13For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.🔗🔍
14For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.🔗🔍
15But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.🔗🔍
16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.🔗🔍
17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.🔗🔍
18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.🔗🔍
19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,🔗🔍
20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,🔗🔍
21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.🔗🔍
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,🔗🔍
23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.🔗🔍
24And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.🔗🔍
25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.🔗🔍
26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.🔗🔍
