5:9 A little leaven does leaven the whole lump of dough.
5:10 I am confident of you in the Lord, that you will not be otherwise minded. He who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
5:11 Brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I then yet suffer persecution? For then the offence that the cross gives is put away.
5:12 I would to God they were separated from you, those who trouble you.
5:13 Brethren, you were called into liberty – only let not your liberty be an occasion for the flesh, but in love serve one another.
5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, which is this: You shall love your neighbour as yourself.
5:15 If you bite and devour one another, take heed lest you be consumed by one another.
5:16 I say then, walk in the Spirit, and do not fulfil the lusts of the flesh.
5:17 For the flesh lusts contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit resists the flesh. These are contrary one to the other, so that you cannot do that which you would.
5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, then are you not under the law.
5:19 The deeds of the flesh are manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, wantonness,
5:21 envying, murder, drunkenness, gluttony, and suchlike – of which I warn you, as I have told you in time past, that people who commit such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness,
5:23 meekness, temperance. Against such there is no law.
5:24 Those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the appetites and lusts.
5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us walk in the Spirit.
5:26 Let us not be vainglorious, provoking one another and envying one another.
