The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 state et nolite iterum iugo servitutis contineri
1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
2 ecce ego Paulus dico vobis quoniam si circumcidamini Christus vobis nihil proderit
2
Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 testificor autem rursum omni homini circumcidenti se quoniam debitor est universae legis faciendae
3
And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.
4 evacuati estis a Christo qui in lege iustificamini a gratia excidistis
4
You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
5 nos enim spiritu ex fide spem iustitiae expectamus
5
For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 nam in Christo Iesu neque circumcisio aliquid valet neque praeputium sed fides quae per caritatem operatur
6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
7 currebatis bene quis vos inpedivit veritati non oboedire
7
You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
8 persuasio non est ex eo qui vocat vos
8
This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.
9 modicum fermentum totam massam corrumpit
9
A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
10 ego confido in vobis in Domino quod nihil aliud sapietis qui autem conturbat vos portabit iudicium quicumque est ille
10
I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
11 ego autem fratres si circumcisionem adhuc praedico quid adhuc persecutionem patior ergo evacuatum est scandalum crucis
11
And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased.
12 utinam et abscidantur qui vos conturbant
12
I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off!
13 vos enim in libertatem vocati estis fratres tantum ne libertatem in occasionem detis carnis sed per caritatem servite invicem
13
For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
14 omnis enim lex in uno sermone impletur diliges proximum tuum sicut te ipsum
14
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
15 quod si invicem mordetis et comeditis videte ne ab invicem consumamini
15
But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
16 dico autem spiritu ambulate et desiderium carnis non perficietis
16
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17 caro enim concupiscit adversus spiritum spiritus autem adversus carnem haec enim invicem adversantur ut non quaecumque vultis illa faciatis
17
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
18 quod si spiritu ducimini non estis sub lege
18
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 manifesta autem sunt opera carnis quae sunt fornicatio inmunditia luxuria
19
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
20 idolorum servitus veneficia inimicitiae contentiones aemulationes irae rixae dissensiones sectae
20
idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
21 invidiae homicidia ebrietates comesationes et his similia quae praedico vobis sicut praedixi quoniam qui talia agunt regnum Dei non consequentur
21
envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 fructus autem Spiritus est caritas gaudium pax longanimitas bonitas benignitas
22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 fides modestia continentia adversus huiusmodi non est lex
23
gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
24 qui autem sunt Christi carnem crucifixerunt cum vitiis et concupiscentiis
24
And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 si vivimus spiritu spiritu et ambulemus
25
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 non efficiamur inanis gloriae cupidi invicem provocantes invicem invidentes
26
Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
