Galatians 4:28-5:10 (Epistle)
- 28
- Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
- 29
- But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.
- 30
- Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.”
- 31
- So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
- 1
- Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
- 2
- Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
- 3
- And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.
- 4
- You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
- 5
- For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
- 6
- For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
- 7
- You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
- 8
- This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.
- 9
- A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
- 10
- I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
