Galatians 5

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 What the Messiah has freed us for is freedom! Therefore, stand firm, and don't let yourselves be tied up again to a yoke of slavery.

2 Mark my words - I, Sha'ul, tell you that if you undergo b'rit-milah the Messiah will be of no advantage to you at all!

3 Again, I warn you: any man who undergoes b'rit-milah is obligated to observe the entire Torah!

4 You who are trying to be declared righteous by God through legalism have severed yourselves from the Messiah! You have fallen away from God's grace!

5 For it is by the power of the Spirit, who works in us because we trust and are faithful, that we confidently expect our hope of attaining righteousness to be fulfilled.

6 When we are united with the Messiah Yeshua, neither being circumcised nor being uncircumcised matters; what matters is trusting faithfulness expressing itself through love.

7 You were running the race well; who has stopped you from following the truth?

8 Whatever means of persuasion he used was not from the One who calls you.

9 "It takes only a little hametz to leaven the whole batch of dough."

10 I am confident that since you are united with the Lord, you will take no other view; and I am confident that the one who has been disturbing you, whoever he may be, will have to bear his punishment.

11 And as for me, brothers, if I am still preaching that circumcision is necessary, why am I still being persecuted? If that were the case, my preaching about the execution-stake would cause no offense whatever.

12 I wish the people who are bothering you would go the whole way and castrate themselves!

13 For, brothers, you were called to be free. Only do not let that freedom become an excuse for allowing your old nature to have its way. Instead, serve one another in love.

14 For the whole of the Torah is summed up in this one sentence: "Love your neighbor as yourself";k

15 but if you go on snapping at each other and tearing each other to pieces, watch out, or you will be destroyed by each other!

16 What I am saying is this: run your lives by the Spirit. Then you will not do what your old nature wants.

17 For the old nature wants what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit wants what is contrary to the old nature. These oppose each other, so that you find yourselves unable to carry out your good intentions.

18 But if you are led by the Spirit, then you are not in subjection to the system that results from perverting the Torah into legalism.

19 And it is perfectly evident what the old nature does. It expresses itself in sexual immorality, impurity and indecency;

20 involvement with the occult and with drugs; in feuding, fighting, becoming jealous and getting angry; in selfish ambition, factionalism, intrigue

21 and envy; in drunkenness, orgies and things like these. I warn you now as I have warned you before: those who do such things will have no share in the Kingdom of God!

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 humility, self control. Nothing in the Torah stands against such things.

24 Moreover, those who belong to the Messiah Yeshua have put their old nature to death on the stake, along with its passions and desires.

25 Since it is through the Spirit that we have Life, let it also be through the Spirit that we order our lives day by day.

26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.

2 See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

3 Yes, I give witness again to every man who undergoes circumcision, that he will have to keep all the law.

4 You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.

5 For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

6 Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.

7 You were going on well; who was the cause of your not giving ear to what is true?

8 This ready belief did not come from him who had made you his.

9 A little leaven makes a change in all the mass.

10 I am certain about you in the Lord, that you will be of no other mind; but he who is troubling you will have his punishment, whoever he is.

11 But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.

12 My desire is that they who give you trouble might even be cut off themselves.

13 Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.

14 For all the law is made complete in one word, even in this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

15 But if you are given to fighting with one another, take care that you are not the cause of destruction one to another.

16 But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.

17 For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do.

18 But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses,

20 Worship of images, use of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has, angry feelings, attempts to get the better of others, divisions, false teachings,

21 Envy, uncontrolled drinking and feasting, and such things: of which I give you word clearly, even as I did in the past, that they who do such things will have no part in the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

23 Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law.

24 And those who are Christ's have put to death on the cross the flesh with its passions and its evil desires.

25 If we are living by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us be guided.

26 Let us not be full of self-glory, making one another angry, having envy of one another.
