Galatians 5

Comments
"The yoke of bondage" was not just about being circumcised just as religion is not just about what you think about God. The liberty is not just freedom from circumcision but separated Christians from a system that had made the word of God to none effect. The Corban of the Pharisees was a part of a welfare system set up by Herod which was modeled after what Rome had been doing extensively under Caesar.
The Baptism of John and Jesus showed The Way of faith by charity instead of by force.
Nimrod brought the people into bondage of Babylon the same way The same way Pharaoh brought Israel into the bondage of Egypt and Caesar subdued the populous with free bread provided by the Imperial Cult of Rome. The civil law was used to make the people merchandise and as surety for debt they cursed their children.
Plutarch and Polybius had warned the people that covetous practice of loving the wages of unrighteousness weakens the people. David warned that what should have been for your welfare was a snare and Paul repeated that warning as well.[1]
The daily ministration of the early Church was supported by faith through charity, not force.

Stand fast

1 ¶ Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. 7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? 8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. 9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. 11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. 12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

Called unto liberty

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.


Not inherit the kingdom of God

15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft[2], hatred[3], variance[4], emulations[5], wrath[6], strife[7], seditions[8], heresies[9], 21 Envyings[10], murders[11], drunkenness[12], revellings[13], and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
