Freedom in Christ

Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.

Christian Liberty

Stand[a] fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

2

Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

2

Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

3

And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.

3

And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is [b]a debtor to keep the whole law.

4

Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.

4

You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

5

For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.

5

For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

6

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

6

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

7

Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?

7

Love Fulfills the Law

You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?

8

The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you.

8

This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.

9

A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

9

A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

10

*I* have confidence as to you in [the] Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt [of it], whosoever he may be.

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

But *I*, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.

11

And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased.

12

I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.

12

I could wish that those who trouble you would even [c]cut themselves off!

13

For *ye* have been called to liberty, brethren; only [do] not [turn] liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

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

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;

14

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

15

but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.

15

But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!

16

Living by the Spirit

But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.

16

Walking in the Spirit

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

17

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;

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

but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under 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 fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,

19

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: [d]adultery, [e]fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

20

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,

20

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

21

envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.

21

envy, [f]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

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,

22

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

23

meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.

23

[g]gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

24

But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.

24

And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25

If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit.

25

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26

Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

26

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
