III.
The walk of God's children
5:1—6:17
A.
Not entangled by the yoke of slavery under law
5:1
Gal. 5
:1
5:1
It is for
1afreedom that Christ has set us free;
2bstand fast therefore, and do not be
3entangled with a
4cyoke of
dslavery again.
B.
Not separated from Christ
5:2-12
Gal. 5
:2
5:2
Behold, I Paul say to you that if you become
1acircumcised, Christ will profit you
2nothing.
Gal. 5
:3
5:3
And I testify again to every man who becomes
acircumcised that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Gal. 5
:4
5:4
You have been
1brought to nought,
separated from Christ, you who are being justified by
alaw; you have
2bfallen from
cgrace.
Gal. 5
:5
5:5
For we
1aby the Spirit
2bout of faith
ceagerly await the
3dhope of
erighteousness.
Gal. 5
:6
5:6
For ain Christ Jesus neither
bcircumcision 1avails anything nor uncircumcision, but
cfaith avails, 2operating through
3love.
Gal. 5
:7
5:7
You were
arunning well.
bWho hindered you that you would not believe and obey the
1ctruth?
Gal. 5
:8
5:8
This 1apersuasion is not of Him who
bcalls you.
Gal. 5
:9
5:9
A little
1aleaven leavens the whole lump.
Gal. 5
:10
5:10
I am
aconfident in the Lord concerning you that you will be
bof no other mind; but he who is
ctroubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.
Gal. 5
:11
5:11
But I, brothers, if I still preach
1acircumcision, why am I still being
bpersecuted? Then the
cstumbling block of the cross has been annulled.
Gal. 5
:12
5:12
I wish that those
aupsetting you would even
1cut themselves off.
C.
Not indulging the flesh but serving through love
5:13-15
Gal. 5
:13
5:13
For you were
acalled for
1bfreedom, brothers; only do not
cturn this
dfreedom into an opportunity for the
2flesh, but through
elove 3fserve one another.
Gal. 5
:14
5:14
For the whole
alaw is fulfilled in one word, in this,
b"You shall love your neighbor as yourself.''
Gal. 5
:15
5:15
But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another.
D.
Walking by the Spirit, not by the flesh
5:16-26
Gal. 5
:16
5:16
But I say,
1aWalk bby the
2Spirit and you shall by no means
cfulfill the
dlust of the
2flesh.
Gal. 5
:17
5:17
For the
1flesh lusts
aagainst the
2Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these
3oppose each other that you would not do the things that you
bdesire.
Gal. 5
:18
5:18
But if you are
aled by the Spirit, you are
bnot under the
1law.
Gal. 5
:19
5:19
And the
1works of the flesh are manifest, which are such things as
2fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal. 5
:20
5:20
1Idolatry,
asorcery,
2enmities,
bstrife, jealousy, outbursts of anger,
3factions,
cdivisions,
4dsects,
Gal. 5
:21
5:21
aEnvyings,
1bouts of drunkenness, carousings, and things like these, of which I tell you beforehand, even as I have said before, that those who practice such things will
bnot 2inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal. 5
:22
5:22
But the
1afruit of the Spirit is
blove,
cjoy,
dpeace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Gal. 5
:23
5:23
Meekness,
aself-control; against such things there is
bno law.
Gal. 5
:24
5:24
1But they who are
aof Christ Jesus
2have 3bcrucified the
cflesh with its passions and its lusts.
Gal. 5
:25
5:25
If we
1live by the Spirit, let us also
2awalk by the Spirit.
Gal. 5
:26
5:26
Let us
1not become
avainglorious, provoking one another,
benvying one another.
