Galatas 5

1 State, et nolite iterum iugo servitutis contineri.

In the freedom, then, with which Christ made you free—stand, and do not be held fast again by a yoke of servitude.

2 Ecce ego Paulus dico vobis: quoniam si circumcidamini, Christus vobis nihil proderit.

Behold! I, Paul, say to you, that if you are [to be] circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing;

3 Testificor autem rursus omni homini circumcidenti se, quoniam debitor est universae legis faciendae.

and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;

4 Evacuati estis a Christo, qui in lege iustificamini: a gratia excidistis.

you were voided from the Christ, you who are declared righteous in law; you fell away from grace;

5 Nos enim spiritu ex fide, spem iustitiae expectamus.

for we by the Spirit, by faith, wait for a hope of righteousness,

6 Nam in Christo Iesu neque circumcisio aliquid valet, neque praeputium: sed fides, quae per charitatem operatur.

for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

7 Currebatis bene: quis vos impedivit veritati non obedire? nemini consenseritis.

You were running well; who hindered you [so as] not to obey the truth?

8 Persuasio haec non est ex eo, qui vocat vos.

The persuasion [is] not of Him who is calling you!

9 Modicum fermentum totam massam corrumpit.

A little leaven leavens the whole lump;

10 Ego confido in vobis in Domino, quod nihil aliud sapietis: qui autem conturbat vos, portabit iudicium, quicumque est ille.

I have confidence in regard to you in the LORD that you will not be otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

11 Ego autem, fratres, si circumcisionem adhuc praedico: quid adhuc persecutionem patior? Ergo evacuatum est scandalum crucis.

And I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling-block of the Cross has been done away [with];

12 Utinam et abscindantur qui vos conturbant.

O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!

13 Vos enim in libertatem vocati estis fratres: tantum ne libertatem in occasionem detis carnis, sed per charitatem Spiritus servite invicem.

For you were called to freedom, brothers, only the freedom [is] not for an occasion to the flesh, but serve one another through the love,

14 Omnis enim lex in uno sermone impletur: Diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum.

for all the Law is fulfilled in one word—in this: “You will love your neighbor as yourself”;

15 Quod si invicem mordetis, et comeditis: videte ne ab invicem consumamini.

and if you bite and devour one another, see that you may not be consumed by one another.

16 Dico autem in Christo: Spiritu ambulate, et desideria carnis non perficietis.

And I say, walk in the Spirit, and you may not fulfill the desire of the flesh;

17 Caro enim concupiscit adversus spiritum: spiritus autem adversus carnem: haec enim sibi invicem adversantur: ut non quaecumque vultis, illa faciatis.

for the flesh desires contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed to one another, that the things that you may will—these you may not do;

18 Quod si Spiritu ducimini, non estis sub lege.

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

19 Manifesta sunt autem opera carnis: quae sunt fornicatio, immunditia, impudicitia, luxuria,

And the works of the flesh are also evident, which are: adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, licentiousness,

20 idolorum servitus, veneficia, inimicitiae, contentiones, aemulationes, irae, rixae, dissensiones, sectae,

idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strife, jealousy, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects,

21 invidiae, homicidia, ebrietates, comessationes, et his similia, quae praedico vobis, sicut praedixi: quoniam qui talia agunt, regnum Dei non consequentur.

envyings, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

22 Fructus autem Spiritus est: charitas, gaudium, pax, patientia, benignitas, bonitas, longanimitas,

And the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

23 mansuetudo, fides, modestia, continentia, castitas. Adversus huiusmodi non est lex.

meekness, [and] self-control. Against such there is no law;

24 Qui autem sunt Christi, carnem suam crucifixerunt cum vitiis, et concupiscentiis.

and those who are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the affections and the desires;

25 Si spiritu vivimus, spiritu et ambulemus.

if we may live in the Spirit, we may also walk in the Spirit;

26 Non efficiamur inanis gloriae cupidi, invicem provocantes, invicem invidentes.

let us not become vainglorious—provoking one another, envying one another!
