New International Version NIV
11 But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away.
11
Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.
12 I would that they that unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision.
12
As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
13 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.
13
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh ; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
14
For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
15
If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
16
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
17 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.
17
For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.
18 But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
18
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
19
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,
20
idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 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.
21
and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
