Stand fast therefore in Christ's liberty, freedom choose;
Return not to old bondage, nor freeness abuse;
If circumcised, you must keep the whole law - thus fall
From grace, negating Christ, in Whom faith, love, is all!
You were running well, who hindered? Not Him who called!
I've confidence you'll change; may your troubler be mauled!
We've been called to liberty, but don't be "lawless";
Love one another, for all the law is fulfilled by this.
Your fruit, if you're Spirit-led, not under law's clutch,
Is love, joy, peace, faith (not lust, hate, revels and such),
Being patient, gentle, good, meek, and temperate;
Crucify the flesh's lusts, and envy not your mate.
