Προς Γαλατας 5

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

Christ has set you free with freedom, Therefore stand, and be not again entangled with the yoke of bondage.

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

Behold I Paul say unto you, that, if you may be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

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

And again I witness to every man who is circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.

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

You have been divorced from Christ, whosoever are justified by law: you have fallen from grace.

5 ἡμεῖς γὰρ πνεύματι ἐκ πίστεως ἐλπίδα δικαιοσύνης ἀπεκδεχόμεθα.

For we through the Spirit do await the hope of righteousness through faith.

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

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision or uncircumcision avails anything; but faith working through divine love.

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

You were running well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth?

8 ἡ πεισμονὴ οὐκ ἐκ τοῦ καλοῦντος ὑμᾶς.

The persuasion is not of the one calling you.

9 μικρὰ ζύμη ὅλον τὸ φύραμα ζυμοῖ.

A little leaven leavens 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 in reference to you in the Lord, that you shall be none otherwise minded: but the one troubling you shall bear the judgment, whosoever he may be.

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

But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? then the offence of the cross would be done away.

12 ὄφελον καὶ ἀποκόψονται οἱ ἀναστατοῦντες ὑμᾶς.

I would that those troubling you shall indeed cut themselves off.

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

For you were called unto liberty, brethren; only use not the liberty unto an occasion to the flesh, but through divine love serve one another.

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

For the whole law has been fulfilled in one word, in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor with divine love as thyself.

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

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

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

And I say, Walk about in the Spirit, and do not perfect the lust of carnality.

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

For carnality wars against the Spirit, and the Spirit against carnality; for these are antagonistical to one another; so that you may not do the things which you may wish.

18 εἰ δὲ πνεύματι ἄγεσθε, οὐκ ἐστὲ ὑπὸ νόμον.

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

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

But the works of carnality are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, debauchery,

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

idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, divisions, heresies,

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 things like unto these: which I tell you beforehand, as I did previously say to you, that those doing 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 divine love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

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

meekness, holiness; against such things there is no law.

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

But those belonging to Christ Jesus have crucified carnality with the passions and lusts.

25 εἰ ζῶμεν πνεύματι, πνεύματι καὶ στοιχῶμεν.

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

26 μὴ γινώμεθα κενόδοξοι, ἀλλήλους προκαλούμενοι, ἀλλήλοις φθονοῦντες.

Let us not be fond of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
