Galatians 5
1 In freedom (which *k) us Christ has set free; do stand firm therefore and not again in a yoke of slavery do be entangled.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.
2 Behold I myself Paul say to you that if you shall become circumcised, Christ you no [thing] will profit;
Take notice: I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
3 I testify now again to every man being circumcised that a debtor he is all the Law to keep.
Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
4 You are severed from Christ whoever in [the] Law are being justified, from grace you have fallen away.
You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
5 We ourselves for through [the] Spirit by faith [the] hope of righteousness eagerly await.
But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the hope of righteousness.
6 In for Christ Jesus neither circumcision any has power nor uncircumcision but only faith through love working.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.
7 You were running well; Who you (impeded *N+kO) the truth not to obey?
You were running so well. Who has obstructed you from obeying the truth?
8 [This] persuasion [is] not of the [One] calling you.
Such persuasion does not come from the One who calls you.
9 A little leaven whole the lump leavens.
A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough.
10 I myself have been confident as to you in [the] Lord that no [thing] other you will reason; The [one] however troubling you he will bear the judgment whoever (maybe *N+kO) he shall be.
I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.
11 I myself now, brothers, if circumcision still proclaim, why still am I persecuted? In that case has been abolished the offense of the cross.
Now, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.
12 I wish also will emasculate themselves those upsetting you.
As for those who are agitating you, I wish they would proceed to emasculate themselves!
13 You yourselves for to freedom were called, brothers; but not the freedom for an opportunity to the flesh, Rather through love do serve one another.
For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love.
14 For the entire Law in one word (has been fulfilled *N+kO) in this You will love the neighbour of you as (yourself. *NK+O)
The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
15 If however one another you bite and devour, do take heed lest by one another you may be consumed.
But if you keep on biting and devouring one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.
16 I say now, by [the] Spirit do walk and [the] desire [of the] flesh certainly not you may gratify.
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
17 The for flesh desires against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh; these (for *N+kO) to one another are opposed in order not that (maybe *N+kO) you shall wish those things you shall do.
For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want.
18 If however by [the] Spirit you are led, not you are under [the] Law.
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Evident now are the works of the flesh which are (adultery *K) sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;
20 idolatry, (sorcery, *NK+o) enmities, strife, (jealousy, *N+kO) outbursts of anger, contentions, dissensions, factions,
idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions,
21 envyings, (murders *KO) drunkennesses, carousing, and [things] like as these; which I forewarn you even as (also *k) I warned before that those such things doing kingdom God’s not will inherit.
and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control; against [things] such no there is law.
gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 Those now of Christ (Jesus *NO) the flesh crucified with [its] passions and desires.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live by [the] Spirit, by [the] Spirit also we shall walk.
Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit.
26 Not we may become boastful, one another provoking, one another envying.
Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying one another.
