Christian Liberty

1 aStand1 fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a byoke of bondage.  
2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that aif you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.  
3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised athat he is a debtor to keep the whole law.  
4 aYou have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; byou have fallen from grace.  
5 For we through the Spirit eagerly await for the hope of righteousness by faith.  
6 For ain Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but bfaith working through love.  

Love Fulfills the Law

7 You aran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?  
8 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.
9 aA little leaven leavens the whole lump.

Galatians 5:2

I Paul (egw Paulov). Asserts all his personal and apostolic authority. For both words see also I Thessalonians 2:16; II Corinthians 10:1; Colossians 1:23; Ephesians 3:1.

If ye receive circumcision (ean peritemnhsqe). Condition of third class and present passive subjunctive, a supposable case, but with terrible consequences, for they will make circumcision a condition of salvation. In that case Christ will help them not at all.
