Προς Γαλατας 5

1 τῇ ἐλευθερίᾳ ⸂ἡμᾶς Χριστὸς ἠλευθέρωσεν· στήκετε οὖν⸃ καὶ μὴ πάλιν ζυγῷ δουλείας ἐνέχεσθε.

For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.

2 Ἴδε ἐγὼ Παῦλος λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν περιτέμνησθε Χριστὸς ὑμᾶς οὐδὲν ὠφελήσει.

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

3 μαρτύρομαι δὲ πάλιν παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ περιτεμνομένῳ ὅτι ὀφειλέτης ἐστὶν ὅλον τὸν νόμον ποιῆσαι.

Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4 κατηργήθητε ⸀ἀπὸΧριστοῦ οἵτινες ἐν νόμῳ δικαιοῦσθε, τῆς χάριτος ἐξεπέσατε.

Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.

5 ἡμεῖς γὰρ πνεύματι ἐκ πίστεως ἐλπίδα δικαιοσύνης ἀπεκδεχόμεθα.

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

6 ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ οὔτε περιτομή τι ἰσχύει οὔτε ἀκροβυστία, ἀλλὰ πίστις διʼ ἀγάπης ἐνεργουμένη.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

7 Ἐτρέχετε καλῶς· τίς ὑμᾶς ἐνέκοψεν ⸀τῇἀληθείᾳ μὴ πείθεσθαι;

Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?

8 ἡ πεισμονὴ οὐκ ἐκ τοῦ καλοῦντος ὑμᾶς.

This persuasion [came] not of him that calleth you.

9 μικρὰ ζύμη ὅλον τὸ φύραμα ζυμοῖ.

A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

10 ἐγὼ πέποιθα εἰς ὑμᾶς ἐν κυρίῳ ὅτι οὐδὲν ἄλλο φρονήσετε· ὁ δὲ ταράσσων ὑμᾶς βαστάσει τὸ κρίμα, ὅστις ⸀ἐὰνᾖ.

I have confidence to you-ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

11 ἐγὼ δέ, ἀδελφοί, εἰ περιτομὴν ἔτι κηρύσσω, τί ἔτι διώκομαι; ἄρα κατήργηται τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ.

But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away.

12 ὄφελον καὶ ἀποκόψονται οἱ ἀναστατοῦντες ὑμᾶς.

I would that they that unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision.

13 Ὑμεῖς γὰρ ἐπʼ ἐλευθερίᾳ ἐκλήθητε, ἀδελφοί· μόνον μὴ τὴν ἐλευθερίαν εἰς ἀφορμὴν τῇ σαρκί, ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς ἀγάπης δουλεύετε ἀλλήλοις·

For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only [use] not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.

14 ὁ γὰρ πᾶς νόμος ἐν ἑνὶ λόγῳ ⸀πεπλήρωται ἐν τῷ· Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς ⸀σεαυτόν

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

15 εἰ δὲ ἀλλήλους δάκνετε καὶ κατεσθίετε, βλέπετε μὴ ὑπʼ ἀλλήλων ἀναλωθῆτε.

But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

16 Λέγω δέ, πνεύματι περιπατεῖτε καὶ ἐπιθυμίαν σαρκὸς οὐ μὴ τελέσητε.

But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 ἡ γὰρσὰρξ ἐπιθυμεῖ κατὰ τοῦ πνεύματος, τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα κατὰ τῆς σαρκός, ταῦτα ⸀γὰρ ⸂ἀλλήλοις ἀντίκειται, ἵνα μὴ ἃ ⸀ἐὰνθέλητε ταῦτα ποιῆτε.

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.

18 εἰ δὲ πνεύματι ἄγεσθε, οὐκ ἐστὲ ὑπὸ νόμον.

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

19 φανερὰ δέ ἐστιντὰ ἔργα τῆς σαρκός, ἅτινά ⸀ἐστιν πορνεία, ἀκαθαρσία, ἀσέλγεια,

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 εἰδωλολατρία, φαρμακεία, ἔχθραι, ⸂ἔρις, ζῆλος⸃, θυμοί, ἐριθεῖαι, διχοστασίαι, αἱρέσεις,

idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,

21 ⸀φθόνοι μέθαι, κῶμοι, καὶ τὰ ὅμοια τούτοις, ἃ προλέγω ὑμῖν ⸀καθὼςπροεῖπον ὅτι οἱ τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντες βασιλείαν θεοῦ οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν.

envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 Ὁ δὲ καρπὸς τοῦ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἀγάπη, χαρά, εἰρήνη, μακροθυμία, χρηστότης, ἀγαθωσύνη, πίστις,

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

23 πραΰτης, ἐγκράτεια· κατὰ τῶν τοιούτων οὐκ ἔστιν νόμος.

meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.

24 οἱ δὲ τοῦ ⸀Χριστοῦτὴν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σὺν τοῖς παθήμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις.

And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.

25 εἰ ζῶμεν πνεύματι, πνεύματι καὶ στοιχῶμεν.

If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk.

26 μὴ γινώμεθα κενόδοξοι, ἀλλήλους προκαλούμενοι, ἀλλήλοις φθονοῦντες.

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