Galatians 5

1 Stand fast therefore in the freedom for which Christ has set us free, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

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 let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

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

3 I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to keep the entire law.

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

4 You who are seeking to be justified by the law are alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

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

5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we eagerly await the hope of righteousness.

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

6 For in Christ Jesus neither does circumcision have any significance, nor uncircumcision, but what matters is 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 from obeying the truth?

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

8 This persuasion does not come from him who calls 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 you in the Lord that you will adopt no other mindset. But the one who is troubling you will bear his 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 Now, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense 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 Oh that those who are unsettling you would cut themselves off!

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

13 You were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another in 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 the entire law is fulfilled in this one commandment: “Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor as yoʋrself.”

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

15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.

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

16 I say then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not gratify the desires 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 what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is contrary to the flesh. These are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the very things you want to 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 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

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

19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: adultery, fornication, impurity, sensuality,

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

20 idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, quarrels, jealousies, fits of rage, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,

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

21 envy, murder, drunkenness, revelries, and the like. I warn you, just as I warned you before, that those who practice 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 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

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

23 gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law.

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

24 Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

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

25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

live we therefore in the Spirit,

26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another and envying one another.

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