Galatians 5:1-6 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Christ has set us free for freedom. Therefore, stand firm and don’t submit to the bondage of slavery again.

2. Look, I, Paul, am telling you that if you have yourselves circumcised, having Christ won’t help you.

3. Again I swear to every man who has himself circumcised that he is required to do the whole Law.

4. You people who are trying to be made righteous by the Law have been estranged from Christ. You have fallen away from grace!

5. We eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness through the Spirit by faith.

6. Being circumcised or not being circumcised doesn’t matter in Christ Jesus, but faith working through love does matter.
