31So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant-woman, 1but of the free woman.

CHAPTER 5

Christ Set Us Free

11aIt was for freedom that Christ set us free. Therefore, bstand firm and do not be subject again to a cyoke of slavery.

2Behold I, aPaul, say to you that if you receive bcircumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

3And I atestify again to every man who receives bcircumcision, that he is under obligation to ckeep the whole Law.

4You have been 1severed from Christ, you who are being justified by law; you have afallen from grace!

5For we 1through the Spirit, 2by faith, are aeagerly waiting for the hope of righteousness.

6For in aChrist Jesus bneither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but cfaith working through love.
