The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
5 ut eos qui sub lege erant redimeret ut adoptionem filiorum reciperemus
5
to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.
6 quoniam autem estis filii misit Deus Spiritum Filii sui in corda nostra clamantem Abba Pater
6
Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”
7 itaque iam non es servus sed filius quod si filius et heres per Deum
7
So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
8 sed tunc quidem ignorantes Deum his qui natura non sunt dii serviebatis
8
Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
9 nunc autem cum cognoveritis Deum immo cogniti sitis a Deo quomodo convertimini iterum ad infirma et egena elementa quibus denuo servire vultis
9
But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces ? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
10 dies observatis et menses et tempora et annos
10
You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
11 timeo vos ne forte sine causa laboraverim in vobis
11
I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.
12 estote sicut et ego quia et ego sicut vos fratres obsecro vos nihil me laesistis
12
I plead with you, brothers and sisters, become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong.
13 scitis autem quia per infirmitatem carnis evangelizavi vobis iam pridem
13
As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you,
14 et temptationem vestram in carne mea non sprevistis neque respuistis sed sicut angelum Dei excepistis me sicut Christum Iesum
14
and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.
15 ubi est ergo beatitudo vestra testimonium enim perhibeo vobis quia si fieri posset oculos vestros eruissetis et dedissetis mihi
15
Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
