Προς Γαλατας 5

1 τη ελευθερια ουν η χριστος ημας ηλευθερωσεν στηκετε και μη παλιν ζυγω δουλειας ενεχεσθε

Stand firm therefore in the freedom with which Christ has made us free, and do not be burdened again with a yoke of slavery.

2 ιδε εγω παυλος λεγω υμιν οτι εαν περιτεμνησθε χριστος υμας ουδεν ωφελησει

Listen! I, Paul, say to you that if you get circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

3 μαρτυρομαι δε παλιν παντι ανθρωπω περιτεμνομενω οτι οφειλετης εστιν ολον τον νομον ποιησαι

Further, I testify again to every man who gets circumcised that he is obligated to keep the whole law.

4 κατηργηθητε απο του χριστου οιτινες εν νομω δικαιουσθε της χαριτος εξεπεσατε

You who are ‘being justified’ by law have been alienated from the Christ; you have fallen away from the grace.

5 ημεις γαρ πνευματι εκ πιστεως ελπιδα δικαιοσυνης απεκδεχομεθα

For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

6 εν γαρ χριστω ιησου ουτε περιτομη τι ισχυει ουτε ακροβυστια αλλα πιστις δι αγαπης ενεργουμενη

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

7 ετρεχετε καλως τις υμας ενεκοψεν τη αληθεια μη πειθεσθαι

You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?

8 η πεισμονη ουκ εκ του καλουντος υμας

This persuasion is not from Him who calls you.

9 μικρα ζυμη ολον το φυραμα ζυμοι

A little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough.

10 εγω πεποιθα εις υμας εν κυριω οτι ουδεν αλλο φρονησετε ο δε ταρασσων υμας βαστασει το κριμα οστις αν η

I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will not think differently; but he who troubles you will bear the penalty, whoever he may be.

11 εγω δε αδελφοι ει περιτομην ετι κηρυσσω τι ετι διωκομαι αρα κατηργηται το σκανδαλον του σταυρου

But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that event the offense of the cross would have been removed.

12 οφελον και αποκοψονται οι αναστατουντες υμας

I do wish that those who are upsetting you would just remove themselves!

13 υμεις γαρ επ ελευθερια εκληθητε αδελφοι μονον μη την ελευθεριαν εις αφορμην τη σαρκι αλλα δια της αγαπης δουλευετε αλληλοις

Now you, brothers, have been called to freedom; only do not use that freedom as an opening for the flesh, but slave for one another through love.

14 ο γαρ πας νομος εν ενι λογω πληρουται εν τω αγαπησεις τον πλησιον σου ως σεαυτον

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, namely: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

15 ει δε αλληλους δακνετε και κατεσθιετε βλεπετε μη υπ αλληλων αναλωθητε

But if you bite and tear at each other, beware lest you be consumed by one another!

16 λεγω δε πνευματι περιπατειτε και επιθυμιαν σαρκος ου μη τελεσητε

I say then: walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

17 η γαρ σαρξ επιθυμει κατα του πνευματος το δε πνευμα κατα της σαρκος ταυτα δε αντικειται αλληλοις ινα μη α αν θελητε ταυτα ποιητε

Because the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh; they oppose each other; it follows that you may not do the things that you wish.

18 ει δε πνευματι αγεσθε ουκ εστε υπο νομον

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

19 φανερα δε εστιν τα εργα της σαρκος ατινα εστιν μοιχεια πορνεια ακαθαρσια ασελγεια

Now the works of the flesh are obvious, namely: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,

20 ειδωλολατρια φαρμακεια εχθραι ερεις ζηλοι θυμοι εριθειαι διχοστασιαι αιρεσεις

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, fits of anger, selfish ambition, dissentions, factions,

21 φθονοι φονοι μεθαι κωμοι και τα ομοια τουτοις α προλεγω υμιν καθως και προειπον οτι οι τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντες βασιλειαν θεου ου κληρονομησουσιν

envyings, murders, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like; about which I am warning you beforehand, as, in fact, I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

22 ο δε καρπος του πνευματος εστιν αγαπη χαρα ειρηνη μακροθυμια χρηστοτης αγαθωσυνη πιστις

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 πραοτης εγκρατεια κατα των τοιουτων ουκ εστιν νομος

gentleness, self-control—against such things there is no law.

24 οι δε του χριστου την σαρκα εσταυρωσαν συν τοις παθημασιν και ταις επιθυμιαις

Further, those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 ει ζωμεν πνευματι πνευματι και στοιχωμεν

Since we live by the Spirit, let us also conform to the Spirit.

26 μη γινωμεθα κενοδοξοι αλληλους προκαλουμενοι αλληλοις φθονουντες

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