¹ With her freedom, Christ hath made you, free. Stand fast, therefore, and do not, again, with a yoke of servitude, be held fast!² See! I, Paul, say unto you - if ye be getting circumcised, Christ will profit you, nothing.³ Yea, I bear solemn witness again, unto every man getting circumcised, - that he is, a debtor, to do, the whole law.⁴ Ye have been set aside from Christ, ye who, by law, are to be declared righteous, - out of his favour, ye have fallen;⁵ For, we, in Spirit, by faith, for a hope of righteousness, are ardently waiting, - ⁶ For, in Christ Jesus, neither, circumcision, availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith, through love, energising.⁷ Ye were running well: - who hath hindered you, that, by truth, ye are not to be persuaded?⁸ The persuasion, is not of him that calleth you: - ⁹ A little leaven, leaveneth, the whole lump.¹⁰ I, am persuaded regarding you, in the Lord - that, for nothing else, ye will have any regard; but, he that is troubling you, shall bear the sentence, - whosoever he may be.¹¹ I, however, brethren - if, circumcision, I yet proclaim, why am I yet persecuted? After all, the stumbling-block of the cross hath been set aside.¹² Oh! that they would even leave off in dismay, who are unsettling you!

¹³ For, ye, on a footing of freedom, were called, brethren, - only, turn not your freedom into an occasion to the flesh, but, by means of your love, be serving one another;¹⁴ For, the whole law, in one word, is summed up - namely in this, - Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself.¹⁵ If, however, one another, ye bite and devour, take heed lest, by one another, ye be consumed!¹⁶ I say, moreover - by Spirit, be walking, and, fleshly coveting, ye will in nowise fulfil;¹⁷ For, the flesh, coveted against the Spirit, but, the Spirit, against the flesh, - for, these, unto one another, are opposed, lest, whatsoever things ye chance to desire, these, ye should be doing!¹⁸ And, if, by Spirit, ye are being led, ye are not under law.¹⁹ Manifest, however, are the works of the flesh, which, indeed, are - fornication, impurity, wantonness,²⁰ idolatry, enchantment, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of wrath, factions, divisions, parties,²¹ envyings, drunkenness, revellings; - and such things as these: as to which I forewarn you, even as I have forewarned you, - that, they who such things as these do practise, shall not inherit, God's kingdom.²² But, the fruit of the Spirit, is - love, joy, peace, long-suffering, graciousness, goodness, faithfulness,²³ meekness, self-control; - against such things as these, there is no law.²⁴ And, they who are of Christ Jesus, have crucified, the flesh, with its susceptibilities and covetings.²⁵ If we live by Spirit, by Spirit, let us also walk.²⁶ Let us not become vain-glorious, - one another, challenging, one another, envying.
