Paul has more to say on the subject of slavery. In Galatians 5:1, Paul states that "It was for freedom that Christ has set us free" even though his passage 1 Corinthians 7:20-24 states "he who was a free man when he was called is Christ's slave." Paul appears unable to decide ...
Also, in relation to this, Paul writes that Jesus came “at the appointed time” (Galatians 4:4). Other New Testament authors say similar things. While there is truth with this answer, it really doesn’t answer the question. All it does it move the question back. If Jesus came at th...
Galatians 5:22 – 26 (ESV). But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong in Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we li...

Paul writes that the love of Christ surpasses all knowledge (Ephesians 3:19). Someone who has the precious gift of prophecy, and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and is able to convince a mountain to move out of his way, but has no love, is nothing (1 Corinthians 13:2),...
in Galatians 5:19-21, and this is the passage that converted me to orthodoxy. I think maybe I’m the only person in history that read this passage and converted. But this is the passage that converted me to orthodoxy. And St. Paul writes, “Now the works of the flesh are evident,...
