Galatians 5

1 In the freedom, then, with which Christ made you free—stand, and do not be held fast again by a yoke of servitude.

Stand therefore in that liberty with which the Meshiha hath freed you, and be not enthralled with the yoke of bondage.

2 Behold! I, Paul, say to you, that if you are [to be] circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing;

Behold, I, Paulos, tell you, that if you be circumcised, the Meshiha profiteth you nothing.

3 and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;

But I attest again to every man who is circumcised, that he is obligated to fulfil the whole law.

4 you were voided from the Christ, you who are declared righteous in law; you fell away from grace;

You have ceased from the Meshiha who are justified by the law, and from grace you have fallen.

5 for we by the Spirit, by faith, wait for a hope of righteousness,

But we through the Spirit, who is from faith, expect the hope of righteousness.

6 for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

For, in the Meshiha Jeshu, circumcision is not any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which is made perfect by love.

7 You were running well; who hindered you [so as] not to obey the truth?

Well did you run; who hath impeded you, that to the truth you should not be in obedience?

8 The persuasion [is] not of Him who is calling you!

Your persuasion is not from him who called you.

9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump;

A little leaven the whole mass leaveneth.

10 I have confidence in regard to you in the LORD that you will not be otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

I am confident of you in our Lord, that no other thing you will think; and he who disturbeth you shall bear judgment, whoever he is.

11 And I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling-block of the Cross has been done away [with];

But I, my brethren, if yet I have preached for circumcision, why have I been persecuted? Hath the scandal of the cross ceased?

12 O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!

But I would that they who disturb you were even cut off.

13 For you were called to freedom, brothers, only the freedom [is] not for an occasion to the flesh, but serve one another through the love,

But you have been called unto liberty, my brethren: only let not your liberty be for an occasion of the flesh; but in love be subjected one to another.

14 for all the Law is fulfilled in one word—in this: “You will love your neighbor as yourself”;

For all the law in one word is fulfilled, in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

15 and if you bite and devour one another, see that you may not be consumed by one another.

But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest one by another you be consumed.

16 And I say, walk in the Spirit, and you may not fulfill the desire of the flesh;

But I say to you, Walk in the Spirit, and the desires of the flesh you will not work.

17 for the flesh desires contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed to one another, that the things that you may will—these you may not do;

For the flesh desireth that which is repugnant to the Spirit, and the Spirit desireth that which is repugnant to the flesh; and the two are adverse one to the other, that not any thing that you will you may do.

18 and if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

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

19 And the works of the flesh are also evident, which are: adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, licentiousness,

For the works of the flesh are known, which are (these), fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strife, jealousy, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects,

the worship of idols, sorcery, enmity, contention, ambition, wrath, calumny, divisions, rendings,

21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

envy, murder, drunkenness, revelling, and all that are like these; and they who do them, as I told you before, so now I tell you, the kingdom of Aloha do not inherit.

22 And the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

But the fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, prolonging of the spirit, benignity, goodness, fidelity,

23 meekness, [and] self-control. Against such there is no law;

meekness, patience; against these the law is not set.

24 and those who are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the affections and the desires;

But they who are of the Meshiha have crucified their flesh, with all its passions and its lusts:

25 if we may live in the Spirit, we may also walk in the Spirit;

live we therefore in the Spirit,

26 let us not become vainglorious—provoking one another, envying one another!

and let us not be vain-glorious, contemning one another, envying one another.
