Read Full Chapter (Galatians 5) Galatians 5:7-15 KJV
"Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. I would they were even cut off which trouble you. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another."
Galatians 5:7-15 in Context (Verses 4–18 KJV)
4
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
7
Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
8
This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
9
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
10
I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
11
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
12
I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
13
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17
For the flesh lusteth 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.
18
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
