1Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.
1Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
1In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free--stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;
2See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.
2Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
2lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing;
3Yes, I give witness again to every man who undergoes circumcision, that he will have to keep all the law.
3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
3and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;
4You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.
4Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
4ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;
5For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.
5For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
5for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for,
6Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.
6For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
6for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.
7You were going on well; who was the cause of your not giving ear to what is true?
7Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
7Ye were running well; who did hinder you--not to obey the truth?
8This ready belief did not come from him who had made you his.
8This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
8the obedience <FI>is<Fi> not of him who is calling you!
9A little leaven makes a change in all the mass.
9A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
9a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven;
10I am certain about you in the Lord, that you will be of no other mind; but he who is troubling you will have his punishment, whoever he is.
10I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
10I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.
11But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.
11And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
11And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away;
12My desire is that they who give you trouble might even be cut off themselves.
12I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
12O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!
13Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.
13For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
13For ye--to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another,
14For all the law is made complete in one word, even in this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.
14For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
14for all the law in one word is fulfilled--in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;'
15But if you are given to fighting with one another, take care that you are not the cause of destruction one to another.
15But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
15and if one another ye do bite and devour, see--that ye may not by one another be consumed.
16But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.
16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
16And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete;
17For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do.
17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
17for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will--these ye may not do;
18But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
18and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law.
19Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses,
19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
19And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20Worship of images, use of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has, angry feelings, attempts to get the better of others, divisions, false teachings,
20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
20idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects,
21Envy, uncontrolled drinking and feasting, and such things: of which I give you word clearly, even as I did in the past, that they who do such things will have no part in the kingdom of God.
21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
21envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
22And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
23Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law.
23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
23meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;
24And those who are Christ's have put to death on the cross the flesh with its passions and its evil desires.
24And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
24and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;
