          DASV: Galatians 5    

1 For freedom Christ has set us free, so stand firm, and do
not be again tied into a yoke of slavery.
2 Listen, I Paul tell you, that if you let yourselves be
circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
3 Yes, I say it again, to every man that let’s himself be
circumcised, he is obligated to keep the whole law.
4 You who are trying to be justified by the law are cut off
from Christ, you have fallen away from grace.
5 For by faith, through the Spirit, we eagerly wait for the
hope of righteousness.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision
counts for anything; but only faith working through love.
7 You were running so well, who hindered you from obeying
the truth?
8 This false teaching does not come from him who called you.
9 A little yeast leavens the whole batch.
10 I have confidence in the Lord that you will be not be
persuaded otherwise. But the one who troubles you will
pay the penalty, whoever he is.
11 But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am
I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the
cross would have been removed.
12 I wish that those troublemakers would go ahead and castrate
themselves.
13 For you, brothers, were called to freedom. Only do not
use your freedom for an opportunity to indulge the flesh,
but through love serve one another.
14 For the whole law is summed up in a single command:
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware that you
are not consumed by one another.

16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify
the evil desires of the flesh.
17 For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition
to one another; that you cannot do the things that you want to.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality,
impurity, sensuality,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarrels, jealousies, fits
of anger, rivalries, divisions, dissensions,
21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and such things; of which I
forewarn you, even as I warned you before, that those who
practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there
is no law.

24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh
with its passions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk guided by the
Spirit.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoke one another,
or become jealous of one another.
