JUB

NIV

1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free and do not be entangled again 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 Behold, I, Paul, say unto you that if ye become circumcised, Christ shall profit 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 For I testify again to every man that becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
4 Ye are empty of the Christ, whosoever of you that justify yourselves by the law; ye are fallen 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 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but faith which works by charity.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
7 Ye did run well; who hindered you that ye should not trust in the truth?
7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth?

8 That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
9 “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”
10 I have confidence in you through the Lord that ye will not be otherwise minded, but he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion, whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty.
11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the offence of the <em>cross</em> {Gr. stauros – stake} ceased.
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 even desire that those who trouble you would cut themselves off.
12 As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only do not <em>use</em> liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by charity serve 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 is fulfilled in one word, <em>even</em> in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour 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 are not consumed one of another.
15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16 <em>This</em> I say then, Walk in 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 lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other, so that ye cannot 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 of 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 <em>these</em>: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; which I denounce, as I have also told <em>you</em> in time past that those who do 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.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is <em>this</em>: Charity, joy, peace, tolerance, gentleness, goodness, faith,
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 For those that are of the Christ have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
