¹ Stand therefore in that liberty with which the Meshiha hath freed you, and be not enthralled with the yoke of bondage.² Behold, I, Paulos, tell you, that if you be circumcised, the Meshiha profiteth you nothing.³ But I attest again to every man who is circumcised, that he is obligated to fulfil the whole law.⁴ You have ceased from the Meshiha who are justified by the law, and from grace you have fallen.⁵ But we through the Spirit, who is from faith, expect the hope of righteousness.⁶ For, in the Meshiha Jeshu, circumcision is not any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which is made perfect by love.⁷ Well did you run; who hath impeded you, that to the truth you should not be in obedience?⁸ Your persuasion is not from him who called you.⁹ A little leaven the whole mass leaveneth.¹⁰ 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 But I, my brethren, if yet I have preached for circumcision [fn] , why have I been persecuted? Hath the scandal of the cross ceased? ¹² But I would that they who disturb you were even cut off.

¹³ 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 in one word is fulfilled, in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.¹⁵ But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest one by another you be consumed.¹⁶ But I say to you, Walk in the Spirit, and the desires of the flesh you will not work.¹⁷ 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 by the Spirit you are led, you are not under the law.¹⁹ For the works of the flesh are known, which are (these), fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,²⁰ the worship of idols, sorcery, enmity, contention, ambition, wrath, calumny, divisions, rendings,²¹ 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 fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, prolonging of the spirit, benignity, goodness, fidelity,²³ meekness, patience; against these the law is not set.²⁴ But they who are of the Meshiha have crucified their flesh, with all its passions and its lusts:²⁵ live we therefore in the Spirit,²⁶ and let us not be vain-glorious, contemning one another, envying one another.
