Galatians 5

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Stand firm, and do not be willing to be again held by the yoke of servitude.	1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if you have been circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.	2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I again testify, about every man circumcising himself, that he is obligated to act according to the entire law.	3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 You are being emptied of Christ, you who are being justified by the law. You have fallen from grace.	4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5 For in spirit, by faith, we await the hope of justice.	5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails over anything, but only faith which works through charity.	6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
7 You have run well. So what has impeded you, that you would not obey the truth?	7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
8 This kind of influence is not from him who is calling you.	8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
9 A little leaven corrupts the whole mass.	9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
10 I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will accept nothing of the kind. However, he who disturbs you shall bear the judgment, whomever he may be.	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 as for me, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still suffering persecution? For then the scandal of the Cross would be made empty.	11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
12 And I wish that those who disturb you would be torn away.	12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
13 For you, brothers, have been called to liberty. Only you must not make liberty into an occasion for the flesh, but instead, serve one another through the charity of the Spirit.	13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14 For the entire law is fulfilled by one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”	14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not consumed by one another!	15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 So then, I say: Walk in the spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.	16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh desires against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. And since these are against one another, you may not do whatever you want.	17 For 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.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.	18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest; they are: fornication, lust, homosexuality, self-indulgence,	19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 the serving of idols, drug use, hostility, contentiousness, jealousy, wrath, quarrels, dissensions, divisions,	20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 envy, murder, inebriation, carousing, and similar things. About these things, I continue to preach to you, as I have preached to you: that those who act in this way shall not obtain the kingdom of God.	21 Envyings, 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.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, forbearance,	22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 meekness, faith, modesty, abstinence, chastity. There is no law against such things.	23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 For those who are Christ’s have crucified their flesh, along with its vices and desires.	24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live by the Spirit, we should also walk by the Spirit.	25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not become desirous of empty glory, provoking one another, envying one another.	26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
