Stand firm therefore in the freedom with which Christ has freed us, and do not place yourselves again under the yoke of servitude.

Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you allow yourselves to be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

  And again I protest to every man, who allows himself to be circumcised, that he is obliged to keep the whole law.

You are separated from Christ, you who are justified by the law; from grace you have fallen.

For we by the Spirit of faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value; but rather faith that works through love.

You ran well; Who prevented you from obeying the truth?

This persuasion does not come from the one who called you.

A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

I trust in you, in the Lord, that you will feel nothing else; but whoever troubles you, whoever he may be, will suffer condemnation.

But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I persecuted? Soon the scandal of the cross is annihilated.

I would like those who are bothering you to be cut off.

  Because you, brothers, were called to freedom. Therefore, do not use your freedom to give occasion to the flesh, but serve one another through love.

  For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you do not consume one another either.

But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these oppose one another, so that you do not do what you want.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

  For the works of the flesh are manifest, which are: adultery, fornication, impurity, lasciviousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, emulations, wraths, fights, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, gluttony, and the like. these, concerning which I declare to you, as I told you before, that those who commit such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:1-23.
