ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgement, whosoever he be. But I, 11 brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumblingblock of the cross been done away. I would 12 Or, mutilate that they which unsettle you would even 1cut themselves off.

themselves

2 Or, parties

8 Or, tell you plainly

4 Or, selfcontrol

For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; 13 only use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one 14 word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour 15 one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall 16 not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh 17 lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would. But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye 18 are not under the law. Now the works of the 19 flesh are manifest, which are these, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, sorcery, 20 enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, heresies, envyings, drunkenness, 21 revellings, and such like: of the which I 3 forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they which practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of 22 the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, 'tem- 23 perance against such there is no law. And 24 they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.

If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us 25

26 also walk. Let us not be vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of meekness; looking to thy2 self, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of 3 Christ. For if a man thinketh himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth 4 himself. But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of 1his neigh- Gr. the other. For each man shall bear his own

5 bour.
2 burden.
6 But let him that is taught in the word com-
municate unto him that teacheth in all good
7 things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
8 reap. For he that soweth unto his own flesh
shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that
soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap
9 eternal life. And let us not be weary in well-
doing for in due season we shall reap, if we
10 faint not. So then, as we have opportunity,
let us work that which is good toward all men,
and especially toward them that are of the
household of the faith.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in 4 Christ: even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love: 5 having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to 6 the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely be7 stowed on us in the Beloved: in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the 8 riches of his grace, which he made to abound 9 toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he pur10 posed in him unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Gr. seasons.

praise of his glory, we who 1had before hoped
in Christ in whom ye also, having heard the 13

-in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed
with the Holy Spirit of promise, which is an 14

For this cause I also, having heard of the 15

not to give thanks for you, making mention of
you in my prayers; that the God of our Lord 17

you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the
knowledge of him; having the eyes of your 18
heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the
hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory
of his inheritance in the saints, and what the 19
exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward
who believe, according to that working of the
strength of his might which he wrought in 20
Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and
made him to sit at his right hand in the hea-

and power, and dominion, and every name that
is named, not only in this world, but also in
that which is to come: and he put all things 22
in subjection under his feet, and gave him to
be head over all things to the church, which 23
is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all
