Galatians 5 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law.
2 Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you.
3 I'll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses.
4 For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God's grace.
5 But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us.
6 For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love.
7 You were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth?
8 It certainly isn't God, for he is the one who called you to freedom.
9 This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough!
10 I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you.
11 Dear brothers and sisters, if I were still preaching that you must be circumcised-- as some say I do-- why am I still being persecuted? If I were no longer preaching salvation through the cross of Christ, no one would be offended.
12 I just wish that those troublemakers who want to mutilate you by circumcision would mutilate themselves.
13 For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.
14 For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
15 But if you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another.
16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves.
17 The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.
18 But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.
19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division,
21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.
25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives.
26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.
1 Stand fast G4739 V-PAM-2P therefore G3767 CONJ in the G3588 T-DSF liberty G1657 N-DSF wherewith G3739 R-DSF Christ G5547 N-NSM hath made us free G1659 V-AAI-3S , and G2532 CONJ be not G3361 PRT-N entangled again with V-PPM-2P the yoke G2218 N-DSM of bondage G1397 N-GSF .
2 Behold G2396 , I G1473 P-1NS Paul G3972 N-NSM say G3004 V-PAI-1S unto you G5213 P-2DP , that G3754 CONJ if G1437 COND ye be circumcised G4059 V-PPS-2P , Christ G5547 N-NSM shall profit G5623 V-FAI-3S you G5209 P-2AP nothing G3762 A-ASN .
3 For G1161 CONJ I testify G3143 V-PNI-1S again G3825 ADV to every G3956 A-DSM man G444 N-DSM that is circumcised G4059 V-PPP-DSM , that G3754 CONJ he is G2076 V-PXI-3S a debtor G3781 N-NSM to do G4160 V-AAN the G3588 T-ASM whole G3650 A-ASM law G3551 N-ASM .
4 Christ G5547 N-GSM is become of no effect G2673 V-API-2P unto you , whosoever G3748 R-NPM of you are justified G1344 V-PPI-2P by G1722 PREP the law G3551 N-DSM ; ye G3588 T-GSF are fallen G1601 V-AAI-2P from grace G5485 N-GSF .
5 For G1063 CONJ we G2249 P-1NP through the Spirit G4151 N-DSN wait for G553 V-PNI-1P the hope G1680 N-ASF of righteousness G1343 N-GSF by G1537 PREP faith G4102 N-GSF .
6 For G1063 CONJ in G1722 PREP Jesus G2424 N-DSM Christ G5547 N-DSM neither G3777 CONJ circumcision G4061 N-NSF availeth G2480 V-PAI-3S any thing G5100 X-ASN , nor G3777 CONJ uncircumcision G203 N-NSF ; but G235 CONJ faith G4102 N-NSF which worketh G1754 V-PMP-NSF by G1223 PREP love G26 N-GSF .
7 Ye did run G5143 V-IAI-2P well G2573 ADV ; who G5101 I-NSM did hinder G348 you G5209 P-2AP that ye should not G3361 PRT-N obey G3982 V-PPN the G3588 T-DSF truth G225 N-DSF ?
8 This persuasion G3988 N-NSF cometh not G3756 PRT-N of G3588 T-GSM him that calleth G2564 V-PAP-GSM you G5209 P-2AP .
9 A little G3398 A-NSF leaven G2219 N-NSF leaveneth G2220 V-PAI-3S the G3588 T-ASN whole G3650 A-ASN lump G5445 N-ASN .
10 I G1473 P-1NS have confidence G3982 V-2RAI-1S in G1519 PREP you G5209 P-2AP through G1722 PREP the Lord G2962 N-DSM , that G3754 CONJ ye G3588 T-NSM will be none otherwise minded G5426 V-FAI-2P : but G1161 CONJ he that troubleth G5015 V-PAP-NSM you G5209 P-2AP shall bear G941 V-FAI-3S his judgment G2917 N-ASN , whosoever G3748 R-NSM he be G5600 V-PXS-3S .
11 And G1161 CONJ I G1473 P-1NS , brethren G80 N-VPM , if G1487 COND I yet G2089 ADV preach G2784 V-PAI-1S circumcision G4061 N-ASF , why G5101 I-ASN do I yet G2089 ADV suffer persecution G1377 V-PPI-1S ? then G686 PRT is the G3588 T-NSN offense G4625 N-NSN of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM cross G4716 N-GSM ceased G2673 V-RPI-3S .
12 I would G3785 INJ they were even G2532 CONJ cut off G609 V-FMI-3P which trouble G387 V-PAP-NPM you G5209 P-2AP .
13 For G1063 CONJ , brethren G80 N-VPM , ye G5210 P-2NP have been called G2564 V-API-2P unto G1909 PREP liberty G1657 N-DSF ; only G3440 ADV use not G3361 PRT-N liberty G1657 N-ASF for G1519 PREP an occasion G874 N-ASF to the G3588 T-DSF flesh G4561 N-DSF , but G235 CONJ by G1223 PREP love G26 N-GSF serve G1398 V-PAM-2P one another G240 C-DPM .
14 For G1063 CONJ all G3956 A-NSM the law G3551 N-NSM is fulfilled G4137 V-PPI-3S in G1722 PREP one G1520 A-DSM word G3056 N-DSM , even in G1722 PREP this G3588 T-NSM ; Thou shalt love G25 V-FAI-2S thy G3588 T-ASM neighbor G4139 ADV as G5613 ADV thyself G1438 F-3ASM .
15 But G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND ye bite G1143 V-PAI-2P and G2532 CONJ devour G2719 V-PAI-2P one another G240 C-APM , take heed G991 V-PAM-2P that ye be not G3361 PRT-N consumed G355 V-APS-2P one of another G240 C-GPM .
16 This I say G3004 V-PAI-1S then G1161 CONJ , Walk G4043 V-PAM-2P in the Spirit G4151 N-DSN , and G2532 CONJ ye shall not G3364 fulfill G5055 V-AAS-2P the lust G1939 N-ASF of the flesh G4561 N-GSF .
17 For G1063 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF flesh G4561 N-NSF lusteth G1937 V-PAI-3S against G2596 PREP the G3588 T-GSN Spirit G4151 N-GSN , and G1161 CONJ the G3588 T-NSN Spirit G4151 N-NSN against G2596 PREP the G3588 T-GSF flesh G4561 N-GSF : and G1161 CONJ these G5023 D-NPN are contrary G480 V-PNI-3S the one to the other G240 C-DPN : so that G2443 CONJ ye cannot G3361 PRT-N do G4160 V-PAS-2P the things G5023 D-APN that R-APN ye would G2309 V-PAS-2P .
18 But G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND ye be led G71 V-PPI-2P of the Spirit G4151 N-DSN , ye are G2075 V-PXI-2P not G3756 PRT-N under G5259 PREP the law G3551 N-ASM .
19 Now G1161 CONJ the G3588 T-NPN works G2041 N-NPN of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF flesh G4561 N-GSF are G2076 V-PXI-3S manifest G5318 A-NPN , which G3748 R-NPN are G2076 V-PXI-3S these ; adultery G3430 N-NSF , fornication G4202 N-NSF , uncleanness G167 N-NSF , lasciviousness G766 N-NSF ,
20 Idolatry G1495 N-NSF , witchcraft G5331 N-NSF , hatred G2189 N-NPF , variance G2054 N-NPF , emulations G2205 N-NPM , wrath G2372 N-NPM , strife G2052 N-NPF , seditions G1370 N-NPF , heresies G139 N-NPF ,
21 Envyings G5355 N-NPM , murders G5408 N-NPM , drunkenness G3178 N-NPF , revellings G2970 N-NPM , and G2532 CONJ such G3588 T-NPN like G3664 A-NPN : of the which G3739 R-APN I tell you before G4302 V-PAI-1S , as G2531 ADV I have also G2532 CONJ told you in time past G4277 V-2AAI-1S , that G3754 CONJ they G3588 T-APN which G3588 T-APN do G4238 V-PAP-NPM such things G5108 D-APN shall not G3756 PRT-N inherit G2816 V-FAI-3P the kingdom G932 N-ASF of God G2316 N-GSM .
22 But G1161 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM fruit G2590 N-NSM of G3588 T-GSN the G3588 T-GSN Spirit G4151 N-GSN is G2076 V-PXI-3S love G26 N-NSF , joy G5479 N-NSF , peace G1515 N-NSF , longsuffering G3115 N-NSF , gentleness G5544 N-NSF , goodness G19 N-NSF , faith G4102 N-NSF ,
23 Meekness G4236 N-NSF , temperance G1466 N-NSF : against G2596 PREP such G5108 D-GPN there is G2076 V-PXI-3S no G3756 PRT-N law G3551 N-NSM .
24 And G1161 CONJ they G3588 T-GSM that are Christ G5547 N-GSM \'s have crucified G4717 V-AAI-3P the G3588 T-ASF flesh G4561 N-ASF with G4862 PREP the G3588 T-DPN affections G3804 N-DPN and G2532 CONJ lusts G1939 N-DPF .
25 If G1487 COND we live G2198 V-PAI-1P in the Spirit G4151 N-DSN , let us also G2532 CONJ walk G4748 V-PAS-1P in the Spirit G4151 N-DSN .
26 Let us not G3361 PRT-N be G1096 V-PNS-1P desirous of vain glory G2755 A-NPM , provoking G4292 V-PMP-NPM one another G240 C-APM , envying G5354 V-PAP-NPM one another G240 C-DPM .
