Стойте, прочее, твърдо в свободата, за която Христос ни освободи, и не се заплитайте отново в робско иго.

Ето, аз, Павел, ви казвам, че ако се обрязвате Христос никак нямя да ви ползува.

Да! повторно заявявам на всеки човек, който се обрязва, че е длъжен да ивпълни целия закон.

Вие, които желаете да се оправдавате чрез закона сте се отлъчили от Христа, отпаднали сте от благодатта.

Защото ние чрез Духа ожидаме оправданието чрез вяра, за което се надяваме.

Понеже в Христа Исуса нито обрязването има някаква сила, нито необрязването, но вяра, която действува чрез любов.

Вие вървяхте добре; кой ви попречи да не бъдете послушни на истината?

Това убеждение не беше от Онзи, Който ви е призовал.

Малко квас заквасва цялото тесто.

10 Аз съм уверен за вас в Господа, че няма да помислите другояче; а който ви смущава, той ще понесе своето наказание, който и да е бил той.

11 И аз братя, защо още да бъда гонен, ако продължавам да проповядвам обрязване? защото тогава съблазънта на кръста би се махнала.

12 Дано се отсечеха ония, които ви разколебават.

13 Защото вие, братя, на свободата бяхте призовани; само не употребявайте свободата си като повод за угаждане на плътта, но с любов служете си един на друг.

14 Защото целият закон се изпълнява в една дума, сиреч в тая "Да обичаш ближния си както себе си".

15 Но ако се хапете и се ядете един друг, пазете се да не би един друг да се изтребите.

16 Прочее казвам: Ходете по Духа и няма да угаждате на плътските страсти.

17 Защото плътта силно желае противното на Духа, а Духът противното на плътта; понеже те се противят едно на друго, за да можете да правите това, което искате.

18 Но ако се водите от Духа, не сте под закон.

19 А делата на плътта са явни; те са: блудство, нечистота, сладострастие,

20 идолопоклонство, чародейство, вражди, разпри, ревнования, ярости, партизанства, раздори, разцепления,

21 зависти, пиянства, пирувания и там подобни; за които ви предупреждавам, че които вършат такива работи, няма да наследят Божието царство.

22 А плодът на Духа е: любов, радост, мир, дълготърпение, благост, милост, милосърдие, вярност,

23 кротост, себеобуздание; против такива неща няма закон.

24 А които са Исус Христови, разпнали са плътта заедно със страстите и похотите й.

25 Ако по Дух живеем, по Дух и да ходим.

26 Да не ставаме щеславни, един друг да се не дразним и да си не завиждаме един на друг.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

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

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.

A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.

12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

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

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Freedom in Christ

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.(A) Stand firm,(B) then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.(C)

Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised,(D) Christ will be of no value to you at all. Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.(E) You who are trying to be justified by the law(F) have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.(G) For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.(H) For in Christ Jesus(I) neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value.(J) The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.(K)

You were running a good race.(L) Who cut in on you(M) to keep you from obeying the truth? That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.(N) “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”(O) 10 I am confident(P) in the Lord that you will take no other view.(Q) The one who is throwing you into confusion,(R) whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty. 11 Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted?(S) In that case the offense(T) of the cross has been abolished. 12 As for those agitators,(U) I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!

Life by the Spirit

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.(V) But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a];(W) rather, serve one another(X) humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b](Y) 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

16 So I say, walk by the Spirit,(Z) and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.(AA) 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.(AB) They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[c] you want.(AC) 18 But if you are led by the Spirit,(AD) you are not under the law.(AE)

19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality,(AF) impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.(AG) I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.(AH)

22 But the fruit(AI) of the Spirit is love,(AJ) joy, peace,(AK) forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.(AL) Against such things there is no law.(AM) 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh(AN) with its passions and desires.(AO) 25 Since we live by the Spirit,(AP) let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited,(AQ) provoking and envying each other.
