¹

Stand fast therefore in the freedom wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.

¹

Τῇ ἐλευθερίᾳ οὖν ᾗ χριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἠλευθέρωσεν, στήκετε, καὶ μὴ πάλιν ζυγῷ δουλείας ἐνέχεσθε.

²

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

²

Ἴδε, ἐγὼ Παῦλος λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν περιτέμνησθε, χριστὸς ὑμᾶς οὐδὲν ὠφελήσει.

³

Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

³

Μαρτύρομαι δὲ πάλιν παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ περιτεμνομένῳ, ὅτι ὀφειλέτης ἐστὶν ὅλον τὸν νόμον ποιῆσαι.

⁴

Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.

⁴

Κατηργήθητε ἀπὸ τοῦ χριστοῦ, οἵτινες ἐν νόμῳ δικαιοῦσθε· τῆς χάριτος ἐξεπέσατε.

⁵

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

⁵

Ἡμεῖς γὰρ πνεύματι ἐκ πίστεως ἐλπίδα δικαιοσύνης ἀπεκδεχόμεθα.

⁶

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

⁶

Ἐν γὰρ χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ οὔτε περιτομή τι ἰσχύει, οὔτε ἀκροβυστία, ἀλλὰ πίστις δι’ ἀγάπης ἐνεργουμένη.

⁷

Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?

⁷

Ἐτρέχετε καλῶς· τίς ὑμᾶς ἐνέκοψεν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ μὴ πείθεσθαι;

⁸

This persuasion came not of him that calleth you.

⁸

Ἡ πεισμονὴ οὐκ ἐκ τοῦ καλοῦντος ὑμᾶς.

⁹

A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

⁹

Μικρὰ ζύμη ὅλον τὸ φύραμα ζυμοῖ.

¹⁰

I have confidence to you-ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

¹⁰

Ἐγὼ πέποιθα εἰς ὑμᾶς ἐν κυρίῳ, ὅτι οὐδὲν ἄλλο φρονήσετε· ὁ δὲ ταράσσων ὑμᾶς βαστάσει τὸ κρίμα, ὅστις ἂν ᾖ.

¹¹

But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumbling block of the cross been done away.

¹¹

Ἐγὼ δέ, ἀδελφοί, εἰ περιτομὴν ἔτι κηρύσσω, τί ἔτι διώκομαι; Ἄρα κατήργηται τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ.

¹²

I would that they that unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision.

¹²

Ὄφελον καὶ ἀποκόψονται οἱ ἀναστατοῦντες ὑμᾶς.

¹³

For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.

¹³

Ὑμεῖς γὰρ ἐπ’ ἐλευθερίᾳ ἐκλήθητε, ἀδελφοί· μόνον μὴ τὴν ἐλευθερίαν εἰς ἀφορμὴν τῇ σαρκί, ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς ἀγάπης δουλεύετε ἀλλήλοις.

¹⁴

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

¹⁴

Ὁ γὰρ πᾶς νόμος ἐν ἑνὶ λόγῳ πληροῦται, ἐν τῷ, Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς ἑαυτόν.

¹⁵

But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

¹⁵

Εἰ δὲ ἀλλήλους δάκνετε καὶ κατεσθίετε, βλέπετε μὴ ὑπὸ ἀλλήλων ἀναλωθῆτε.

¹⁶

But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

¹⁶

Λέγω δέ, πνεύματι περιπατεῖτε, καὶ ἐπιθυμίαν σαρκὸς οὐ μὴ τελέσητε.

¹⁷

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.

¹⁷

Ἡ γὰρ σὰρξ ἐπιθυμεῖ κατὰ τοῦ πνεύματος, τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα κατὰ τῆς σαρκός· ταῦτα δὲ ἀντίκειται ἀλλήλοις, ἵνα μὴ ἃ ἂν θέλητε, ταῦτα ποιῆτε.

¹⁸

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

¹⁸

Εἰ δὲ πνεύματι ἄγεσθε, οὐκ ἐστὲ ὑπὸ νόμον.

¹⁹

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

¹⁹

Φανερὰ δέ ἐστιν τὰ ἔργα τῆς σαρκός, ἅτινά ἐστιν μοιχεία, πορνεία, ἀκαθαρσία, ἀσέλγεια,

²⁰

idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strifes, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,

²⁰

εἰδωλολατρεία, φαρμακεία, ἔχθραι, ἔρεις, ζῆλοι, θυμοί, ἐριθεῖαι, διχοστασίαι, αἱρέσεις,

²¹

envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did also forewarn you, that they who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

²¹

φθόνοι, φόνοι, μέθαι, κῶμοι, καὶ τὰ ὅμοια τούτοις· ἃ προλέγω ὑμῖν, καθὼς καὶ προεῖπον, ὅτι οἱ τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντες βασιλείαν θεοῦ οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν.

²²

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

²²

Ὁ δὲ καρπὸς τοῦ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἀγάπη, χαρά, εἰρήνη, μακροθυμία, χρηστότης, ἀγαθωσύνη, πίστις,

²³

meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.

²³

πρᾳότης, ἐγκράτεια· κατὰ τῶν τοιούτων οὐκ ἔστιν νόμος.

²⁴

And they that are of Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.

²⁴

Οἱ δὲ τοῦ χριστοῦ, τὴν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σὺν τοῖς παθήμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις.

²⁵

If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk.

²⁵

Εἰ ζῶμεν πνεύματι, πνεύματι καὶ στοιχῶμεν.

²⁶

Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

²⁶

Μὴ γινώμεθα κενόδοξοι, ἀλλήλους προκαλούμενοι, ἀλλήλοις φθονοῦντες.
