Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

to redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman.

which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar;

but the Jerusalem from above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.

Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me; because Jehovah has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free with deliverance those who are oppressed;

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Everyone practicing sin is a slave of sin.

Therefore if the Son sets you free, you shall truly be free.

And having been set free from sin, you became slaves to righteousness.

For when you were slaves to sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end, eternal life.

But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak.

as free, yet not using liberty as a pretext for evil, but as bondservants of God.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.

For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were set forth to this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny the only Lord God, even our Lord Jesus Christ.

But these speak evil of things they do not know; and whatever they understand naturally, like animals without reason, in these things they corrupt themselves.

These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you, serving themselves without fear. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the Law of Christ.

But it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.

If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

I have shown you in everything, by laboring like this, that we need to support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

We then who are strong ought to bear with the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to building up.

For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might gain the more;

Love is longsuffering and is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast itself, is not puffed up;

does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake.

And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,

If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,

Thus also faith, if it does not have works, being alone, is dead.

By this we know the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
