Paul’s Letter to the Galatians

capítulo 5

Capítulos:

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

verso 2

Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

verso 3

Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

verso 4

You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

verso 5

For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

verso 6

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.

verso 7

You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

verso 8

This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

verso 9

A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

verso 10

I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

verso 11

But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

verso 12

I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.

verso 13

For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

verso 14

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

verso 15

But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.

verso 16

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.

verso 17

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

verso 18

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

verso 19

Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

verso 20

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

verso 21

envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.

verso 22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

verso 23

gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

verso 24

Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

verso 25

If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.

verso 26

Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
