1 khrii. s.to. asmabhya. m yat svaatantrya. m dattavaan yuuya. m tatra sthiraasti. s.thata daasatvayugena puna rna nibadhyadhva. m|
It is for freedom that Christ set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not again be held under the yoke of slavery.
2 pa"syataaha. m paulo yu. smaan vadaami yadi chinnatvaco bhavatha tarhi khrii. s.tena kimapi nopakaari. syadhve|
Understand that I, Paul, myself tell you that if you allow yourselves to be circumcised, Christ will avail you nothing.
3 apara. m ya. h ka"scit chinnatvag bhavati sa k. rtsnavyavasthaayaa. h paalanam ii"svaraaya dhaarayatiiti pramaa. na. m dadaami|
I again declare to everyone who receives circumcision, that he binds himself to obey the whole Law.
4 yu. smaaka. m yaavanto lokaa vyavasthayaa sapu. nyiibhavitu. m ce. s.tante te sarvve khrii. s.taad bhra. s.taa anugrahaat patitaa"sca|
You have severed yourselves from Christ – you who are seeking to be pronounced righteous through Law; you have fallen away from love.
5 yato vayam aatmanaa vi"svaasaat pu. nyalaabhaa"saasiddha. m pratiik. saamahe|
For we, by the help of the Spirit, are eagerly waiting for the fulfilment of our hope – that we may be pronounced righteous as the result of faith.
6 khrii. s.te yii"sau tvakchedaatvakchedayo. h kimapi gu. na. m naasti kintu premnaa saphalo vi"svaasa eva gu. nayukta. h|
If we are in union with Christ Jesus, neither is circumcision nor the omission of it anything, but faith, working through love, is everything.
7 puurvva. m yuuya. m sundaram adhaavata kintvidaanii. m kena baadhaa. m praapya satyataa. m na g. rhliitha?
You were once making good progress! Who has hindered you from obeying the truth?
8 yu. smaaka. m saa mati ryu. smadaahvaanakaari. na ii"svaraanna jaataa|
The persuasion brought to bear on you does not come from him who calls you.
9 vikaara. h k. rtsna"saktuunaa. m svalpaki. nvena jasayate|
A little yeast leavens all the dough.
10 yu. smaaka. m mati rvikaara. m na gami. syatiityaha. m yu. smaanadhi prabhunaa"sa. mse; kintu yo yu. smaan vicaaralayati sa ya. h ka"scid bhavet samucita. m da. n.da. m praapsyati|
I, through my union with the Lord, am persuaded that you will learn to think with me. But the man who is disturbing your minds will have to bear his punishment, whoever he may be.
11 parantu he bhraatara. h, yadyaham idaaniim api tvakcheda. m pracaarayeya. m tarhi kuta upadrava. m bhu njiya? tatk. rte kru"sa. m nirbbaadham abhavi. syat|
If I, friends, am still proclaiming circumcision, why am I still persecuted? It seems that the cross has ceased to be an obstacle!
12 ye janaa yu. smaaka. m caa ncalya. m janayanti te. saa. m chedanameva mayaabhila. syate|
I could even wish that the people who are unsettling you would go further still and mutilate themselves.
13 he bhraatara. h, yuuya. m svaatantryaartham aahuutaa aadhve kintu tatsvaatantryadvaare. na "saariirikabhaavo yu. smaan na pravi"satu| yuuya. m premnaa paraspara. m paricaryyaa. m kurudhva. m|
Remember, friends, to you the call came to give you freedom. Only, do not make your freedom an opportunity for self-indulgence but serve one another in a loving spirit.
14 yasmaat tva. m samiipavaasini svavat prema kuryyaa ityekaaj naa k. rtsnaayaa vyavasthaayaa. h saarasa. mgraha. h|
Indeed, the whole Law has been summed up in this one precept – “You must love your neighbour as you love yourself.”
15 kintu yuuya. m yadi paraspara. m da. mda"syadhve. a"saa"syadhve ca tarhi yu. smaakam eko. anyena yanna grasyate tatra yu. smaabhi. h saavadhaanai rbhavitavya. m|
But, if you are continually wounding and preying on one another, take care that you are not destroyed by one another.
16 aha. m braviimi yuuyam aatmikaacaara. m kuruta "saariirikaabhilaa. sa. m maa puurayata|
This is what I have to say – Let your steps be guided by the Spirit, and then you will never gratify the cravings of your earthly nature.
17 yata. h "saariirikaabhilaa. sa aatmano vipariita. h, aatmikaabhilaa. sa"sca "sariirasya vipariita. h, anayorubhayo. h paraspara. m virodho vidyate tena yu. smaabhi ryad abhila. syate tanna karttavya. m|
For these cravings of our earthly nature conflict with the Spirit, and the Spirit with our earthly nature – they are two contrary principles – so that you cannot do what you wish.
18 yuuya. m yadyaatmanaa viniiyadhve tarhi vyavasthaayaa adhiinaa na bhavatha|
But, if you follow the guidance of the Spirit, you are not subject to Law.
19 apara. m paradaaragamana. m ve"syaagamanam a"sucitaa kaamukataa pratimaapuujanam
The sins of our earthly nature are unmistakable. They are sins like these – sexual immorality, impurity, indecency,
20 indrajaala. m "satrutva. m vivaado. antarjvalana. m krodha. h kalaho. anaikya. m
idolatry, sorcery, quarrels, strife, jealousy, outbursts of passion, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,
21 paarthakyam iir. syaa vadho mattatva. m lampa. tatvamityaadiini spa. s.tatvena "saariirikabhaavasya karmmaa. ni santi| puurvva. m yadvat mayaa kathita. m tadvat punarapi kathyate ye janaa etaad. r"saani karmmaa. nyaacaranti tairii"svarasya raajye. adhikaara. h kadaaca na lapsyate|
feelings of envy, drunkenness, revelry, and the like. And I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who indulge in such things will have no place in the kingdom of God.
22 ki nca premaananda. h "saanti"scirasahi. s.nutaa hitai. sitaa bhadratva. m vi"svaasyataa titik. saa
But the fruit produced by the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindliness, generosity, trustfulness, gentleness, self-control.
23 parimitabhojitvamityaadiinyaatmana. h phalaani santi te. saa. m viruddhaa kaapi vyavasthaa nahi|
Against such things there is no law!
24 ye tu khrii. s.tasya lokaaste ripubhirabhilaa. sai"sca sahita. m "saariirikabhaava. m kru"se nihatavanta. h|
And those who belong to Jesus, the Christ, have already crucified their earthly nature, with its passions and its cravings.
25 yadi vayam aatmanaa jiivaamastarhyaatmikaacaaro. asmaabhi. h karttavya. h,
Since our life is due to the Spirit, let us rule our conduct also by the Spirit.
26 darpa. h paraspara. m nirbhartsana. m dve. sa"scaasmaabhi rna karttavyaani|
Do not let us grow vain, and provoke or envy one another.
