Galatians 5

Revised Literal Translation

1Stand fastG4739 thereforeG3767 in the libertyG3588G1657 wherewithG3739 ChristG5547 hath madeG1659 usG1473 freeG1659, andG2532 beG1758 notG3361 entangledG1758 againG3825 with the yokeG2218 of bondageG1397.

2BeholdG3708, IG1473 PaulG3972 sayG3004 unto youG4771, thatG3754 ifG1437 ye be circumcisedG4059, ChristG5547 shall profitG5623 youG4771 nothingG3762. 3ForG1161 I testifyG3143 againG3825 to everyG3956 manG444 that is circumcisedG4059, thatG3754 he isG1510 a debtorG3781 to doG4160 theG3588G3551 wholeG3650 lawG3588G3551. 4ChristG3588G5547 is becomeG2673 ofG575 no effect unto youG2673, whosoeverG3748 of you are justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551; ye are fallen fromG1601 graceG3588G5485. 5ForG1063 weG1473 through the SpiritG4151 wait forG553 the hopeG1680 of righteousnessG1343 byG1537 faithG4102. 6ForG1063 inG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 neitherG3777 circumcisionG4061 availethG2480 anyG5100 thing, norG3777 uncircumcisionG203; butG235 faithG4102 which workethG1754 byG1223 loveG26.

7Ye did runG5143 wellG2573; whoG5101 did hinderG348 youG4771 that ye shouldG3982 notG3361 obeyG3982 the truthG3588G225? 8ThisG3588 persuasionG3988 cometh notG3756 ofG1537 him thatG3588 callethG2564 youG4771. 9A littleG3398 leavenG2219 leavenethG2220 theG3588G5445 wholeG3650 lumpG3588G5445. 10IG1473 have confidenceG3982 inG1519 youG4771 throughG1722 the LordG2962, thatG3754 ye will beG5426 noneG3762 otherwiseG243 mindedG5426: butG1161 he thatG3588 troublethG5015 youG4771 shall bearG941 hisG3588 judgmentG2917, whosoeverG302 he beG1510. 11AndG1161 IG1473, brethrenG80, ifG1487 IG2784 yetG2089 preachG2784 circumcisionG4061, whyG5101 do IG1377 yetG2089 suffer persecutionG1377? thenG686 isG2673 the offenceG3588G4625 of the crossG3588G4716 ceasedG2673. 12I wouldG3785 they wereG609 evenG2532 cut offG609 whichG3588 troubleG387 youG4771.

13ForG1063, brethrenG80, yeG4771 have been calledG2564 untoG1909 libertyG1657; onlyG3440 use notG3361 libertyG3588G1657 forG1519 an occasionG874 to the fleshG3588G4561, butG235 byG1223 loveG3588G26 serveG1398 one anotherG240. 14ForG1063 allG3956 the lawG3551 is fulfilledG4137 inG1722 oneG1520 wordG3056, even inG1722 thisG3588; Thou shalt loveG25 thyG4771 neighbourG4139 asG5613 thyselfG1438. 15ButG1161 ifG1487 ye biteG1143 andG2532 devourG2719 one anotherG240, take heedG991 that ye beG355 notG3361 consumedG355 oneG240 ofG5259 anotherG240.

16This I sayG3004 thenG1161, WalkG4043 in the SpiritG4151, andG2532 ye shallG5055 notG3756 fulfilG5055 the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561. 17ForG1063 the fleshG4561 lustethG1937 againstG2596 the SpiritG3588G4151, andG1161 the SpiritG4151 againstG2596 the fleshG3588G4561: andG1161 theseG3778 are contraryG480 the one to the otherG240: so thatG2443 yeG4160 cannotG3361 doG4160 the thingsG3778 thatG3739 ye wouldG2309. 18ButG1161 ifG1487 ye be ledG71 of the SpiritG4151, ye areG1510 notG3756 underG5259 the lawG3551.

19NowG1161 the worksG3588G2041 of the fleshG3588G4561 areG1510 manifestG5318, whichG3748 areG1510 these; AdulteryG3430, fornicationG4202, uncleannessG167, lasciviousnessG766, 20IdolatryG1495, witchcraftG5331, hatredG2189, varianceG2054, emulationsG2205, wrathG2372, strifeG2052, seditionsG1370, heresiesG139, 21EnvyingsG5355, murdersG5408, drunkennessG3178, revellingsG2970, andG2532 suchG3778 likeG3664: of the whichG3739 I tellG4302 youG4771 beforeG4302, asG2531 I haveG4302 alsoG2532 toldG4302 you in time past, thatG3754 they whichG3588 doG4238 such thingsG5108 shallG2816 notG3756 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.

22ButG1161 the fruitG2590 of the SpiritG3588G4151 isG1510 loveG26, joyG5479, peaceG1515, longsufferingG3115, gentlenessG5544, goodnessG19, faithG4102, 23MeeknessG4240, temperanceG1466: againstG2596 suchG5108 there isG1510 noG3756 lawG3551. 24AndG1161 they that areG3588 Christ’sG3588G5547 have crucifiedG4717 the fleshG3588G4561 withG4862 the affectionsG3588G3804 andG2532 lustsG3588G1939.

25IfG1487 we liveG2198 in the SpiritG4151, let usG4748 alsoG2532 walkG4748 in the SpiritG4151. 26Let usG1096 notG3361 beG1096 desirous of vain gloryG2755, provokingG4292 one anotherG240, envyingG5354 one anotherG240.
