1. Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.
2. Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3. And I witness again to every man who is circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.
4. Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated from him, as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.
5. For we, by the Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.
