Epistle
Galatians 4.28-5.10
Read in context4:28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
4:29But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
4:30Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
4:31So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
5:1Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
5:2Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
5:3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
5:4Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5:5For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
5:6For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
5:7Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
5:8This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
5:9A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
5:10I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
