Galatians 5:1-15

For freedom, Christ set us free. Stand firm,  then, and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery.  Take note! I, Paul, am telling you that if you get yourselves circumcised, Christ will not benefit you at all. Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to do the entire law. You who are trying to be justified by the law are alienated from Christ; you have fallen from grace.  For we eagerly await  through the Spirit, by faith, the hope  of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith  working through love.  You were running well. Who prevented you from obeying the truth?  This persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.  A little leaven  leavens the whole batch of dough. I myself am persuaded in the Lord you will not accept any other view. But whoever it is that is confusing you will pay the penalty.  Now brothers and sisters, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross  has been abolished. I wish those who are disturbing you might also let themselves be mutilated! For you were called  to be free, brothers and sisters; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity  for the flesh, but serve one another through love. For the whole law is fulfilled  in one statement: Love your neighbor as yourself.   , But if you bite and devour  one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.
