Freedom in Christ
Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.
Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.
Freedom in Christ
So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.
So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.
Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you.
And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.
I’ll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses.
Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.
For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.
For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.
But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love.
Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?
You were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth?
The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you.
It certainly isn’t God, for he is the one who called you to freedom.
A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough!
*I* have confidence as to you in [the] Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt [of it], whosoever he may be.
I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you.
But *I*, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.
I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.
For *ye* have been called to liberty, brethren; only [do] not [turn] liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;
but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.
But if you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another.
Living by the Spirit
But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.
But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.
Living by the Spirit’s Power
So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;
The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.
but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.
But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,
idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,
idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division,
envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.
envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.
gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.
If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit.
Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.
