Strongs On/Off
Context
Freedom of the Believer
5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free . Stand firm , then , and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery .
5:2 Listen ! I , Paul , tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised , Christ will be of no benefit to you at all!
5:3 And I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law .
5:4 You who are trying to be declared righteous by the law have been alienated from Christ ; you have fallen away from grace !
5:5 For through the Spirit , by faith , we wait expectantly for the hope of righteousness .
5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight– the only thing that matters is faith working through love .
5:7 You were running well ; who prevented you from obeying the truth ?
5:8 This persuasion does not come from the one who calls you !
5:9 A little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise !
