Galatians 5:7 Context
5For we through the spirit waite for the hope of righteousnesse by faith. 6For in Iesus Christ, neither circumcision auaileth any thing, nor vncircumcision, but faith which worketh by loue. 7Ye did run well; who did hinder you, that ye should not obey the trueth? 8This perswasion commeth not of him that calleth you. 9A little leauen leaueneth the whole lumpe.
