1[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. 1Τῇ ἐλευθερίᾳ ἡμᾶς Χριστὸς ἠλευθέρωσεν στήκετε οὖν καὶ μὴ πάλιν ζυγῷ δουλείας ἐνέχεσθε
2Take notice: I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you {at all}. 2Ἴδε ἐγὼ Παῦλος λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν περιτέμνησθε Χριστὸς ὑμᾶς οὐδὲν ὠφελήσει
3Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole Law. 3μαρτύρομαι δὲ πάλιν παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ περιτεμνομένῳ ὅτι ὀφειλέτης ἐστὶν ὅλον τὸν νόμον ποιῆσαι
4{You} who are [trying] to be justified by [the] Law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. 4κατηργήθητε ἀπὸ Χριστοῦ οἵτινες ἐν νόμῳ δικαιοῦσθε τῆς χάριτος ἐξεπέσατε
5[But] by faith we eagerly await through [the] Spirit [the] hope of righteousness. 5Ἡμεῖς γὰρ Πνεύματι ἐκ πίστεως ἐλπίδα δικαιοσύνης ἀπεκδεχόμεθα
6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love. 6ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ οὔτε περιτομή τι ἰσχύει οὔτε ἀκροβυστία ἀλλὰ πίστις δι’ ἀγάπης ἐνεργουμένη
7You were running so well. Who has obstructed you from obeying the truth? 7Ἐτρέχετε καλῶς τίς ὑμᾶς ἐνέκοψεν ‹τῇ› ἀληθείᾳ μὴ πείθεσθαι
8[Such] persuasion [does] not [come] from the [One] who calls you. 8ἡ πεισμονὴ οὐκ ἐκ τοῦ καλοῦντος ὑμᾶς
9A little yeast leavens the whole batch [of dough]. 9μικρὰ ζύμη ὅλον τὸ φύραμα ζυμοῖ
10I 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. 10ἐγὼ πέποιθα εἰς ὑμᾶς ἐν Κυρίῳ ὅτι οὐδὲν ἄλλο φρονήσετε ὁ δὲ ταράσσων ὑμᾶς βαστάσει τὸ κρίμα ὅστις ἐὰν ᾖ
11Now, brothers, if I {am} still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. 11Ἐγὼ δέ ἀδελφοί εἰ περιτομὴν ἔτι κηρύσσω τί ἔτι διώκομαι ἄρα κατήργηται τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ
12As for those who are agitating you, I wish they would proceed to emasculate themselves! 12Ὄφελον καὶ ἀποκόψονται οἱ ἀναστατοῦντες ὑμᾶς
13For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but [do] not [use] [your] freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love. 13Ὑμεῖς γὰρ ἐπ’ ἐλευθερίᾳ ἐκλήθητε ἀδελφοί μόνον μὴ τὴν ἐλευθερίαν εἰς ἀφορμὴν τῇ σαρκί ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς ἀγάπης δουλεύετε ἀλλήλοις
14The entire Law is fulfilled in a single decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 14ὁ γὰρ πᾶς νόμος ἐν ἑνὶ λόγῳ πεπλήρωται ἐν τῷ Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν
15But if you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out, [or] you will be consumed by each other. 15εἰ δὲ ἀλλήλους δάκνετε καὶ κατεσθίετε βλέπετε μὴ ὑπ’ ἀλλήλων ἀναλωθῆτε
16So I say, walk by [the] Spirit, and you will not gratify [the] desires [of the] flesh. 16Λέγω δέ Πνεύματι περιπατεῖτε καὶ ἐπιθυμίαν σαρκὸς οὐ μὴ τελέσητε
17For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. [They] are opposed to one another, so that you do not do what you want. 17ἡ γὰρ σὰρξ ἐπιθυμεῖ κατὰ τοῦ Πνεύματος τὸ δὲ Πνεῦμα κατὰ τῆς σαρκός ταῦτα γὰρ ἀλλήλοις ἀντίκειται ἵνα μὴ ἃ ἐὰν θέλητε ταῦτα ποιῆτε
18But if you are led by [the] Spirit, you are not under [the] Law. 18εἰ δὲ Πνεύματι ἄγεσθε οὐκ ἐστὲ ὑπὸ νόμον
19The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, [and] debauchery; 19Φανερὰ δέ ἐστιν τὰ ἔργα τῆς σαρκός ἅτινά ἐστιν πορνεία ἀκαθαρσία ἀσέλγεια
20idolatry [and] sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, [and] rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, 20εἰδωλολατρία φαρμακεία ἔχθραι ἔρις ζῆλος θυμοί ἐριθεῖαι διχοστασίαι αἱρέσεις
21[and] envy; drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit [the] kingdom of God. 21φθόνοι μέθαι κῶμοι καὶ τὰ ὅμοια τούτοις ἃ προλέγω ὑμῖν καθὼς προεῖπον ὅτι οἱ τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντες βασιλείαν Θεοῦ οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 22Ὁ δὲ καρπὸς τοῦ Πνεύματός ἐστιν ἀγάπη χαρά εἰρήνη μακροθυμία χρηστότης ἀγαθωσύνη πίστις
23gentleness, [and] self-control. Against such things there is no Law. 23πραΰτης ἐγκράτεια κατὰ τῶν τοιούτων οὐκ ἔστιν νόμος
24Those who [belong to] Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with [its] passions and desires. 24Οἱ δὲ τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τὴν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σὺν τοῖς παθήμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις
25Since we live by [the] Spirit, let us walk in step with [the] Spirit. 25Εἰ ζῶμεν Πνεύματι Πνεύματι καὶ στοιχῶμεν
26Let us not become conceited, provoking [and] envying one another. 26μὴ γινώμεθα κενόδοξοι ἀλλήλους προκαλούμενοι ἀλλήλοις φθονοῦντες
