Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Freedom purchased by Christ's blood is no trivial matter to be surrendered lightly; it concerns our eternal salvation and our duty before God, not mere food or days. When adversaries mock our earnestness for liberty of conscience, they slander a doctrine essential to redemption itself.
AI summary
Christ has freed us from the yoke of the ceremonial law and from the curse of the moral law alike. Stand fast in this liberty and do not suffer yourselves to be entangled again in bondage, no matter what pressure the Judaizers apply.

Commenting on Galatians 5:1-12
This liberty is freedom from sin's dominion, from Satan's captivity, from the ceremonial law's burden and the moral law's curse, but not from obedience to the law as held forth by Christ and as a rule of walk. Use your liberty in indifferent things with moderation and care for your brothers' peace.
