SBL Greek New Testament
1Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
1τῇ ἐλευθερίᾳ ⸂ἡμᾶς Χριστὸς ἠλευθέρωσεν· στήκετε οὖν⸃ καὶ μὴ πάλιν ζυγῷ δουλείας ἐνέχεσθε.
2Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
2Ἴδε ἐγὼ Παῦλος λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν περιτέμνησθε Χριστὸς ὑμᾶς οὐδὲν ὠφελήσει.
3Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
3μαρτύρομαι δὲ πάλιν παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ περιτεμνομένῳ ὅτι ὀφειλέτης ἐστὶν ὅλον τὸν νόμον ποιῆσαι.
4You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
4κατηργήθητε ⸀ἀπὸ Χριστοῦ οἵτινες ἐν νόμῳ δικαιοῦσθε, τῆς χάριτος ἐξεπέσατε.
5For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
5ἡμεῖς γὰρ πνεύματι ἐκ πίστεως ἐλπίδα δικαιοσύνης ἀπεκδεχόμεθα.
6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.
6ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ οὔτε περιτομή τι ἰσχύει οὔτε ἀκροβυστία, ἀλλὰ πίστις διʼ ἀγάπης ἐνεργουμένη.
7You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
7Ἐτρέχετε καλῶς· τίς ὑμᾶς ἐνέκοψεν ⸀τῇ ἀληθείᾳ μὴ πείθεσθαι;
8This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
8ἡ πεισμονὴ οὐκ ἐκ τοῦ καλοῦντος ὑμᾶς.
9A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
9μικρὰ ζύμη ὅλον τὸ φύραμα ζυμοῖ.
10I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
10ἐγὼ πέποιθα εἰς ὑμᾶς ἐν κυρίῳ ὅτι οὐδὲν ἄλλο φρονήσετε· ὁ δὲ ταράσσων ὑμᾶς βαστάσει τὸ κρίμα, ὅστις ⸀ἐὰν ᾖ.
11But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
11ἐγὼ δέ, ἀδελφοί, εἰ περιτομὴν ἔτι κηρύσσω, τί ἔτι διώκομαι; ἄρα κατήργηται τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ.
12I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
12ὄφελον καὶ ἀποκόψονται οἱ ἀναστατοῦντες ὑμᾶς.
13For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.
13Ὑμεῖς γὰρ ἐπʼ ἐλευθερίᾳ ἐκλήθητε, ἀδελφοί· μόνον μὴ τὴν ἐλευθερίαν εἰς ἀφορμὴν τῇ σαρκί, ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς ἀγάπης δουλεύετε ἀλλήλοις·
14For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
14ὁ γὰρ πᾶς νόμος ἐν ἑνὶ λόγῳ ⸀πεπλήρωται, ἐν τῷ· Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς ⸀σεαυτόν.
15But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.
15εἰ δὲ ἀλλήλους δάκνετε καὶ κατεσθίετε, βλέπετε μὴ ὑπʼ ἀλλήλων ἀναλωθῆτε.
16But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.
16Λέγω δέ, πνεύματι περιπατεῖτε καὶ ἐπιθυμίαν σαρκὸς οὐ μὴ τελέσητε.
17For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
17ἡ γὰρ σὰρξ ἐπιθυμεῖ κατὰ τοῦ πνεύματος, τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα κατὰ τῆς σαρκός, ταῦτα ⸀γὰρ ⸂ἀλλήλοις ἀντίκειται⸃, ἵνα μὴ ἃ ⸀ἐὰν θέλητε ταῦτα ποιῆτε.
18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
18εἰ δὲ πνεύματι ἄγεσθε, οὐκ ἐστὲ ὑπὸ νόμον.
19Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
19φανερὰ δέ ἐστιν τὰ ἔργα τῆς σαρκός, ἅτινά ⸀ἐστιν πορνεία, ἀκαθαρσία, ἀσέλγεια,
20idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
20εἰδωλολατρία, φαρμακεία, ἔχθραι, ⸂ἔρις, ζῆλος⸃, θυμοί, ἐριθεῖαι, διχοστασίαι, αἱρέσεις,
21envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.
21⸀φθόνοι, μέθαι, κῶμοι, καὶ τὰ ὅμοια τούτοις, ἃ προλέγω ὑμῖν ⸀καθὼς προεῖπον ὅτι οἱ τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντες βασιλείαν θεοῦ οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
22Ὁ δὲ καρπὸς τοῦ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἀγάπη, χαρά, εἰρήνη, μακροθυμία, χρηστότης, ἀγαθωσύνη, πίστις,
23gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
23πραΰτης, ἐγκράτεια· κατὰ τῶν τοιούτων οὐκ ἔστιν νόμος.
24Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
24οἱ δὲ τοῦ ⸀Χριστοῦ τὴν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σὺν τοῖς παθήμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις.
25If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.
25εἰ ζῶμεν πνεύματι, πνεύματι καὶ στοιχῶμεν.
26Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
26μὴ γινώμεθα κενόδοξοι, ἀλλήλους προκαλούμενοι, ἀλλήλοις φθονοῦντες.
