Young's Literal Translation YLT
New International Version NIV
12 O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!
12
As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
13 For ye -- to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one 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 all the law in one word is fulfilled -- 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 and if one another ye do bite and devour, see -- that ye may not by one another be consumed.
15
If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16 And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete;
16
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
17 for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will -- these ye may not do;
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 and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law.
18
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
19
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects,
20
idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.
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.
22 And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
