Galatians 4:31–5:6

³¹So then, brethren, we are not maid servant’s children, but children of the free woman.

Chapter 5

¹Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage. ²Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. ³And I witness again to every man who is circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law. ⁴Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated from him, as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace. ⁵For we, by the Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness. ⁶For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
