Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery. <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/5-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Listen! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you at all! <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/5-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>And I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/5-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>You who are trying to be declared righteous by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace! <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/5-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait expectantly for the hope of righteousness. <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/5-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight – the only thing that matters is faith working through love.</p> <p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/5-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>You were running well; who prevented you from obeying the truth? <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/5-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>This persuasion does not come from the one who calls you! <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/5-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>A little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise! <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/5-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>I am confident in the Lord that you will accept no other view.
