Galatians 5:1–8

FREEDOM OF THE CHRISTIAN

5 For freedom, Christ set us free. Stand firmh, then, and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery.i 2 Take note! I, Paul, am telling you that if you get yourselves circumcised, Christ will not benefit you at all. 3 Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to do the entire law. 4 You who are trying to be justified by the law are alienated from Christ; you have fallen from grace.j 5 For we eagerly awaitk through the Spirit, by faith, the hopel of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faithm working through love.n

7 You were running well. Who prevented you from obeying the truth?o 8 This persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.p
