Galatians 5:1-6

1 Christ having made us gloriously free--stand fast and do not again be hampered with the yoke of slavery.

1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

2 Remember that it is I Paul who tell you that if you receive circumcision Christ will avail you nothing.

2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.

3 I once more protest to every man who receives circumcision that he is under obligation to obey the whole Law of Moses.

3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.

4 Christ has become nothing to any of you who are seeking acceptance with God through the Law: you have fallen away from grace.

4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

5 *We* have not, for through the Spirit we wait with longing hope for an acceptance with God which is to come through faith.

5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.

6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; but only faith working through love.

6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
