CHAP. V.

1 Hee mooueth them to stand in their libertie, 3 and not to obserue circumcision: 13 but rather loue, which is the summe of the Law. 19 He reckoneth vp the workes of the flesh, 22 and the fruits of the spirit, 25 and exhorteth to walke in the spirit.

¹ Stand fast therefore in the libertie wherewith Christ hath made vs free, and bee not intangled againe with the yoke of bondage.

² Beholde, I Paul say vnto you that if ye be circumcised, Christ shal profite you nothing.

³ For I testifie againe to euery man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to doe the whole Law.

⁴ Christ is become of no effect vnto you, whosoeuer of you are iustified by the Law: ye are fallen from grace.

⁵ For we through the spirit waite for the hope of righteousnesse by faith.

⁶ For in Iesus Christ, neither circumcision auaileth any thing, nor vncircumcision, but faith which worketh by loue.

⁷ Ye did run well; who did hinder you, that ye should not obey the trueth?⁷

⁸ This perswasion commeth not of him that calleth you.

⁹ A little leauen leaueneth the whole lumpe.

¹⁰ I haue confidence in you through the Lord, that you will be none otherwise minded; but he that troubleth you, shall beare his iudgement, whosoeuer hee be.

¹¹ And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why doe I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the crosse ceased.

¹² I would they were euen cut off which trouble you.
