Galatians 5
1 Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.
Stonde ye therfor, and nyl ye eftsoones be holdun in the yok of seruage.
2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Lo! Y Poul seie to you, that if ye ben circumcidid, Crist schal no thing profite to you.
3 And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.
And Y witnesse eftsoones to ech man that circumcidith hym silf, that he is dettour of al the lawe to be don.
4 Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.
And ye ben voidid awei fro Crist, and ye that be iustified in the lawe, ye han fallen awei fro grace.
5 For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.
For we thoruy the spirit of bileue abiden the hope of riytfulnesse.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
For in Jhesu Crist nether circumcisioun is ony thing worth, nether prepucie, but the bileue that worchith bi charite.
7 Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?
Ye runnen wel; who lettide you that ye obeyede not to treuthe?
8 The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you.
Consente ye to no man; for this counsel ys not of hym that hath clepid you.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
A litil souredowy apeirith al the gobet.
10 I 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.
I trust on you in oure Lord, that ye schulden vndurstonde noon other thing. And who that disturblith you, schal bere dom, who euere he be.
11 But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.
And, britheren, if Y preche yit circumcisioun, what suffre Y yit persecucioun? thanne the sclaundre of the crosse is auoidid.
12 I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.
Y wolde that thei weren cut awei, that disturblen you.
13 For ye have been called to liberty, brethren; only [do] not [turn] liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
For, britheren, ye ben clepid in to fredom; oneli yyue ye not fredom in to occasioun of fleisch, but bi charite of spirit serue ye togidere.
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;
For euery lawe is fulfillid in o word, Thou schalt loue thi neiybore as thi silf.
15 but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.
And if ye bite, and ete ech othere, se ye, lest ye be wastid ech fro othere.
16 But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.
And Y seie you in Crist, walke ye in spirit, and ye schulen not performe the desiris of the fleisch.
17 For 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;
For the fleisch coueitith ayens the spirit, and the spirit ayen the fleisch; for these ben aduersaries togidere, that ye don not alle thingis that ye wolen.
18 but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.
That if ye be led bi spirit, ye ben not vnder the lawe.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
And werkis of the fleisch ben opyn, whiche ben fornicacioun, vnclennes, vnchastite, letcherie, seruice of false goddis,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,
witchecraftis, enmytees, striuyngis, indignaciouns, wraththis, chidingis, discenciouns, sectis, enuyes,
21 envyings, 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 inherit God's kingdom.
manslauytris, dronkennessis, vnmesurable etyngis, and thingis lijk to these, whiche Y seie to you, as Y haue told to you `to fore, for thei that doon suche thingis, schulen not haue the kyngdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,
But the fruyt of the spirit is charite, ioye, pees, pacience, long abidyng,
23 meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.
benygnyte, goodnesse, myldenesse, feith, temperaunce, contynence, chastite; ayen suche thingis is no lawe.
24 But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.
And they that ben of Crist, han crucified her fleisch with vices and coueytyngis.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit.
If we lyuen bi spirit, walke we bi spirit;
26 Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
be we not made coueytouse of veyn glorie, stirynge ech othere to wraththe, or hauynge enuye ech to othere.
