III. The Walk of God’s Children
A. Not Entangled by
the Yoke of Slavery under Law
- It is for freedom that Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not be entangled with a yoke of slavery again.
- Behold, I Paul say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
- And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
- You have been brought to nought, separated from Christ, you who are being justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
- For we by the Spirit out of faith eagerly await the hope of righteousness.
- For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but faith avails, operating through love.
- You were running well. Who hindered you that you would not believe and obey the truth?
- This persuasion is not of Him who calls you.
- A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
- I am confident in the Lord concerning you that you will be of no other mind; but he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.
- But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been annulled.
- I wish that those upsetting you would even cut themselves off.
Serving through Love
- For you were called for freedom, brothers; only do not turn this freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
- For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
- But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another.
