5:10 I have confidence in you through the Lord that ye will not be otherwise minded, but he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
5:11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the offence of the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} ceased.
5:12 I even desire that those who trouble you would cut themselves off.
5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only do not use liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by charity serve one another.
5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye are not consumed one of another.
5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other, so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
5:18 But if ye are led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
5:21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; which I denounce, as I have also told you in time past that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is this: Charity, joy, peace, tolerance, gentleness, goodness, faith,
5:23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
5:24 For those that are of the Christ have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts.
5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
