"If ye be led of the Spirit, ye are NOT under the law"


 
Galatians 4:9
But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
 
 
Galatians 4:10
Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
 
Galatians 4:21
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
 
Galatians 4:22
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
 
Galatians 4:23
But he [who was] of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman [was] by promise.
 
Galatians 4:28
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
 
Galatians 4:30
Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
 
Galatians 4:31
So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
 
Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
 
Galatians 5:4
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
 
Galatians 5:6
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
 
Galatians 5:14
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
 
Galatians 5:16
[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
 
 
Galatians 5:18
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
 
Paul is comparing the "return to the law" of the Galatians as idolatry....a departing from the gospel and a return to legalism. The law is baggarly in that it is totally inadequate....the law is bondage.  The law was a schoolmaster to show man he needed a savior. No man can keep the law.
