Galatians 5

1 Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Stand therefore in that liberty with which the Meshiha hath freed you, and be not enthralled with the yoke of bondage.

2 Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

Behold, I, Paulos, tell you, that if you be circumcised, the Meshiha profiteth you nothing.

3 Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

But I attest again to every man who is circumcised, that he is obligated to fulfil the whole law.

4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

You have ceased from the Meshiha who are justified by the law, and from grace you have fallen.

5 For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

But we through the Spirit, who is from faith, expect the hope of righteousness.

6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.

For, in the Meshiha Jeshu, circumcision is not any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which is made perfect by love.

7 You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

Well did you run; who hath impeded you, that to the truth you should not be in obedience?

8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

Your persuasion is not from him who called you.

9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

A little leaven the whole mass leaveneth.

10 I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

I am confident of you in our Lord, that no other thing you will think; and he who disturbeth you shall bear judgment, whoever he is.

11 But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

But I, my brethren, if yet I have preached for circumcision, why have I been persecuted? Hath the scandal of the cross ceased?

12 I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.

But I would that they who disturb you were even cut off.

13 For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

But you have been called unto liberty, my brethren: only let not your liberty be for an occasion of the flesh; but in love be subjected one to another.

14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

For all the law in one word is fulfilled, in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you do not consume one another.

But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest one by another you be consumed.

16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

But I say to you, Walk in the Spirit, and the desires of the flesh you will not work.

17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

For the flesh desireth that which is repugnant to the Spirit, and the Spirit desireth that which is repugnant to the flesh; and the two are adverse one to the other, that not any thing that you will you may do.

18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

But if by the Spirit you are led, you are not under the law.

19 Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

For the works of the flesh are known, which are (these), fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

the worship of idols, sorcery, enmity, contention, ambition, wrath, calumny, divisions, rendings,

21 envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.

envy, murder, drunkenness, revelling, and all that are like these; and they who do them, as I told you before, so now I tell you, the kingdom of Aloha do not inherit.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

But the fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, prolonging of the spirit, benignity, goodness, fidelity,

23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

meekness, patience; against these the law is not set.

24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

But they who are of the Meshiha have crucified their flesh, with all its passions and its lusts:

25 If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.

live we therefore in the Spirit,

26 Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

and let us not be vain-glorious, contemning one another, envying one another.
