Galatians 5

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Christ has set us free. He wants us to enjoy freedom. So stand firm. Don't let the chains of slavery hold you again.

2 Here is what I, Paul, say to you. Don't let yourselves be circumcised. If you do, Christ won't be of any value to you.

3 I say it again. Every man who lets himself be circumcised must obey the whole law.

4 Some of you are trying to be made right with God by obeying the law. You have been separated from Christ. You have fallen away from God's grace.

5 But we expect to be made completely holy because of our faith in Christ. Through the Holy Spirit we wait in hope.

6 Circumcision and uncircumcision aren't worth anything to those who believe in Christ Jesus. The only thing that really counts is faith that shows itself through love.

7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth?

8 The One who chooses you does not keep you from obeying the truth.

9 You should know that "just a little yeast works its way through the whole batch of dough."

10 The Lord makes me certain that you will not think in any other way. The one who has gotten you all mixed up will pay the price. It doesn't matter who that may be.

11 Brothers and sisters, I am not still preaching that people must be circumcised. If I were, why am I still being opposed? If that were what I preach, then the cross wouldn't upset anyone.

12 So then, what about troublemakers who try to get others to be circumcised? I wish they would go the whole way! I wish they would cut off everything that marks them as men!

13 My brothers and sisters, you were chosen to be free. But don't use your freedom as an excuse to live in sin. Instead, serve one another in love.

14 The whole law can be found in a single command. "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."(Leviticus 19:18)

15 You must not keep on biting each other. You must not keep eating each other up. Watch out! You might destroy each other.

16 So I say, live by the Holy Spirit's power. Then you will not do what your sinful nature wants you to do.

17 The sinful nature does not want what the Spirit delights in. And the Spirit does not want what the sinful nature delights in. The two are at war with each other. That's what makes you do what you don't want to do.

18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the authority of the law.

19 What the sinful nature does is clear. It enjoys sexual sins, impure acts and wild living.

20 It worships statues of gods. It also worships evil powers. It is full of hatred and fighting. It is full of jealousy and fits of anger. It is interested only in getting ahead. It stirs up trouble. It separates people into their own little groups.

21 It wants what others have. It gets drunk and takes part in wild parties. It does many things of that kind. I warn you now as I did before. People who live like that will not receive God's kingdom.

22 But the fruit the Holy Spirit produces is love, joy and peace. It is being patient, kind and good. It is being faithful

23 and gentle and having control of oneself. There is no law against things of that kind.

24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed their sinful nature to his cross. They don't want what their sinful nature loves and longs for.

25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us march in step with the Spirit.

26 Let us not become proud. Let us not make each other angry. Let us not want what belongs to others.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 state et nolite iterum iugo servitutis contineri

2 ecce ego Paulus dico vobis quoniam si circumcidamini Christus vobis nihil proderit

3 testificor autem rursum omni homini circumcidenti se quoniam debitor est universae legis faciendae

4 evacuati estis a Christo qui in lege iustificamini a gratia excidistis

5 nos enim spiritu ex fide spem iustitiae expectamus

6 nam in Christo Iesu neque circumcisio aliquid valet neque praeputium sed fides quae per caritatem operatur

7 currebatis bene quis vos inpedivit veritati non oboedire

8 persuasio non est ex eo qui vocat vos

9 modicum fermentum totam massam corrumpit

10 ego confido in vobis in Domino quod nihil aliud sapietis qui autem conturbat vos portabit iudicium quicumque est ille

11 ego autem fratres si circumcisionem adhuc praedico quid adhuc persecutionem patior ergo evacuatum est scandalum crucis

12 utinam et abscidantur qui vos conturbant

13 vos enim in libertatem vocati estis fratres tantum ne libertatem in occasionem detis carnis sed per caritatem servite invicem

14 omnis enim lex in uno sermone impletur diliges proximum tuum sicut te ipsum

15 quod si invicem mordetis et comeditis videte ne ab invicem consumamini

16 dico autem spiritu ambulate et desiderium carnis non perficietis

17 caro enim concupiscit adversus spiritum spiritus autem adversus carnem haec enim invicem adversantur ut non quaecumque vultis illa faciatis

18 quod si spiritu ducimini non estis sub lege

19 manifesta autem sunt opera carnis quae sunt fornicatio inmunditia luxuria

20 idolorum servitus veneficia inimicitiae contentiones aemulationes irae rixae dissensiones sectae

21 invidiae homicidia ebrietates comesationes et his similia quae praedico vobis sicut praedixi quoniam qui talia agunt regnum Dei non consequentur

22 fructus autem Spiritus est caritas gaudium pax longanimitas bonitas benignitas

23 fides modestia continentia adversus huiusmodi non est lex

24 qui autem sunt Christi carnem crucifixerunt cum vitiis et concupiscentiis

25 si vivimus spiritu spiritu et ambulemus

26 non efficiamur inanis gloriae cupidi invicem provocantes invicem invidentes
