¹ Stand fast therefore in the libertie wherewith Christ hath made vs free, and bee not intangled againe with the yoke of bondage. ² Beholde, I Paul say vnto you that if ye be circumcised, Christ shal profite you nothing. ³ For I testifie againe to euery man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to doe the whole Law. ⁴ Christ is become of no effect vnto you, whosoeuer of you are iustified by the Law: ye are fallen from grace. ⁵ For we through the spirit waite for the hope of righteousnesse by faith. ⁶ For in Iesus Christ, neither circumcision auaileth any thing, nor vncircumcision, but faith which worketh by loue. ⁷ Ye did run well; who did hinder you, that ye should not obey the trueth? ⁸ This perswasion commeth not of him that calleth you. ⁹ A little leauen leaueneth the whole lumpe. ¹⁰ I haue confidence in you through the Lord, that you will be none otherwise minded; but he that troubleth you, shall beare his iudgement, whosoeuer hee be. ¹¹ And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why doe I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the crosse ceased. ¹² I would they were euen cut off which trouble you.

¹³ For brethren, ye haue beene called vnto liberty, onely vse not libertie for an occasion to the flesh, but by loue serue one another. ¹⁴ For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, euen in this: Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. ¹⁵ But if yee bite and deuoure one another, take heed ye be not consumed one of another. ¹⁶ This I say then, Walke in the spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that yee cannot doe the things that yee would. ¹⁸ But if yee be lead of the spirit, yee are not vnder the Law. ¹⁹ Nowe the workes of the flesh are manifest, which are these, adulterie, fornication, vncleannesse, lasciuiousnesse, ²⁰ Idolatrie, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, ²¹ Enuyings, murthers, drunkennesse, reuellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I haue also tolde you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherite the kingdome of God. ²² But the fruit of the spirit is loue, ioy, peace, long suffering, gentlenesse, goodnesse, faith, ²³ Meekenesse, temperance: against such there is no law. ²⁴ And they that are Christs, haue crucified the flesh with the affections and lustes. ²⁵ If we liue in the Spirit, let vs also walke in the Spirit. ²⁶ Let vs not be desirous of vaine glory, prouoking one another, enuying one another.
