1Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.
1Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.
2Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
2See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.
3And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.
3Yes, I give witness again to every man who undergoes circumcision, that he will have to keep all the law.
4Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.
4You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.
5For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.
5For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.
6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
6Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.
7Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?
7You were going on well; who was the cause of your not giving ear to what is true?
8The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you.
8This ready belief did not come from him who had made you his.
10I have confidence as to you in [the] Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt [of it], whosoever he may be.
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.
11But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.
11But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.
12I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.
12My desire is that they who give you trouble might even be cut off themselves.
13For ye have been called to liberty, brethren; only [do] not [turn] liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
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.
14For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;
14For all the law is made complete in one word, even in this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.
15but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.
15But if you are given to fighting with one another, take care that you are not the cause of destruction one to another.
16But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.
16But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.
17For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;
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.
18but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.
18But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
19Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses,
20idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,
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,
21envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inheritGod's kingdom.
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.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,
23meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.
23Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law.
24But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.
24And those who are Christ's have put to death on the cross the flesh with its passions and its evil desires.
