Gálatas 5
Reina Valera Actualizada
Estad firmes en la libertad de Cristo
5 Estén, pues, firmes en la libertad con que Cristo nos hizo libres, y no se pongan otra vez bajo el yugo de la esclavitud. 2 He aquí yo, Pablo, les digo que si se dejan circuncidar, de nada les aprovechará Cristo. 3 Y otra vez declaro a todo hombre que acepta ser circuncidado, que está obligado a cumplir toda la ley.
4 Ustedes, que pretenden ser justificados en la ley, ¡han quedado desligados de Cristo y de la gracia han caído! 5 Porque nosotros por el Espíritu aguardamos por la fe la esperanza de la justicia. 6 Pues en Cristo Jesús ni la circuncisión ni la incircuncisión valen nada sino la fe que actúa por medio del amor.
7 Corrían bien. ¿Quién los estorbó para no obedecer a la verdad? 8 Tal persuasión no proviene de aquel que los llama. 9 Un poquito de levadura leuda toda la masa. 10 Yo confío en el Señor con respecto a ustedes que no pensarán de ninguna otra manera; y el que los inquieta llevará su castigo, sea quien sea. 11 Pero con respecto a mí, hermanos, si todavía predico la circuncisión, ¿por qué aún soy perseguido? En tal caso, se habría quitado el tropiezo de la cruz. 12 ¡Ojalá se mutilasen los que los perturban!
Frutos de la carne y del Espíritu
13 Ustedes fueron llamados a la libertad, hermanos; solamente que no usen la libertad como pretexto para la carnalidad. Más bien, sírvanse los unos a los otros por medio del amor, 14 porque toda la ley se ha resumido en un solo precepto: Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo[a]. 15 Pero si se muerden y se comen los unos a los otros, miren que no sean consumidos los unos por los otros.
16 Digo, pues: Anden en el Espíritu, y así jamás satisfarán los malos deseos de la carne. 17 Porque la carne desea lo que es contrario al Espíritu, y el Espíritu lo que es contrario a la carne. Ambos se oponen mutuamente para que no hagan lo que quisieran. 18 Pero si son guiados por el Espíritu, no están bajo la ley.
19 Ahora bien, las obras de la carne son evidentes. Estas son: inmoralidad sexual[b], impureza, desenfreno, 20 idolatría, hechicería, enemistades, pleitos, celos, ira, contiendas, disensiones, partidismos, 21 envidia[c], borracheras, orgías y cosas semejantes a estas, de las cuales les advierto, como ya lo hice antes, que los que hacen tales cosas no heredarán el reino de Dios.
22 Pero el fruto del Espíritu es: amor, gozo, paz, paciencia, benignidad, bondad, fe, 23 mansedumbre y dominio propio. Contra tales cosas no hay ley 24 porque los que son de Cristo Jesús han crucificado la carne con sus pasiones y deseos.
25 Ahora que vivimos en el Espíritu, andemos en el Espíritu. 26 No seamos vanidosos, irritándonos unos a otros y envidiándonos unos a otros.

Galatians 5
King James Version
5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
9 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.
Kehillah in Galatia 5
Orthodox Jewish Bible
5 For this “zman cheruteinu” (Pesach Haggadah Kiddush), Moshiach freed us; stand fast, therefore, and be not again bound by an ol (yoke) of avdut (slavery).
2 Hinei, I Sha’ul say to you, that if you Goyim undergo the bris milah, Moshiach will profit you nothing [3:12-14].
3 And I testify again to every one of you undergoing bris milah that such is chal (placed under obligation) to do the whole Torah.
4 You who want to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM ("justified with G-d") by chumra (legalism), [i.e., legal justification] by chukim of the Torah, are estranged from Moshiach, you at that point fall from the Chen v’Chesed Hashem.
5 For we by the Ruach Hakodesh eagerly await by emunah that for which we have tikvah, the Tzidkat Hashem (DANIEL 9:24).
6 For in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua neither bris milah is of any force nor the lack of it, but emunah working through ahavah (agape).
7 You [Goyim] were running well: who hindered you from being persuaded by HaEmes?
8 This persuasion is not of the One calling you.
9 A little chametz leavens all habatzek (the dough, T.N. see Pesach Haggadah).
10 I have bitachon, (confidence) in you in Adoneinu that you will think nothing other, but the one troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.
11 But if I preach [to Goyim] the bris milah, Achim B’Moshiach, why am I still being persecuted? In that case, the michshol (stumbling block) of [Moshiach’s] Etz (3:12-14; DEVARIM 21:23) has been abolished.
12 O if the ones (the mohalim of Goyim) troubling you would castrate themselves!
13 For, Achim B’Moshiach, you were called for “zman Cheruteinu” (5:1); only use not the Cherut for a pretext for the basar, but, through ahavah (agape), minister to one another as avadim (servants).
14 For the entire Torah has been summed up in one word: V’AHAVTA L’RE’ACHA KAMOCHA ("Love your neighbor as yourself" VAYIKRA 19:18).
15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another.
16 But I say, let your halakhah be by the Ruach HaKodesh, and by no means will you carry out the ta’avot (lusts) of the basar.
17 For the basar desires against the Ruach HaKodesh, and the Ruach HaKodesh desires against the basar—for these oppose each other—with the result that the things you wish you cannot do (Ro chp 7).
18 But if by the Ruach HaKodesh you are led, you are not under [epoch of] Torah.
19 Now the ma’asei habasar are manifest, dehainu (being:) zenut (fornication), tum’ah (impurity), zimmah (licentiousness),
20 Avodah zarah (idolatry), kashefanut (sorcery, witchcraft), eivot (enmities), merivah (strife), kinah (jealousy), rogez (anger), anochiyut (selfishness), machalokot (dissensions), kitot (sects),
21 Tzarut ayin (envyings), shichrut (drunkenness), holelut (carousing) and things like these, of which I tell you beforehand, as I said previously, that the ones practicing such things will not receive the nachalah (inheritance) of the Malchut Hashem.
22 But the p’ri of the Ruach HaKodesh is ahavah (agape), simcha (joy), shalom (peace), zitzfleisch (patience), nedivut (generosity, kindness), chesed (loving-kindness), ne’emanut (faithfulness),
23 Anavah (meekness, shiflut, lowliness), shlitah atzmi (self-control)...would you not agree?—against these things there is no isser (proscription in the Torah).
24 But the ones who are mekabel Moshiach Yehoshua have put to be talui al HaEtz (hanging on the Tree, DEVARIM 21:23) the basar with its teshukot (desires) and its ta’avot (lusts).
25 If we live by the Ruach HaKodesh, we should stay in line with the Derech HaYashar (Straight Way) of the Ruach HaKodesh.
26 Let us not become ba’alei ga’avah (conceited, haughty persons), provoking one another, envying one another.
Galatians 5
New King James Version
Christian Liberty
5 (A)Stand[a] fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a (B)yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that (C)if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised (D)that he is [b]a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 (E)You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; (F)you have fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit eagerly (G)wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For (H)in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but (I)faith working through love.
Love Fulfills the Law
7 You (J)ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. 9 (K)A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 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 And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, (L)why do I still suffer persecution? Then (M)the offense of the cross has ceased. 12 (N)I could wish that those (O)who trouble you would even [c]cut themselves off!
13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only (P)do not use liberty as an (Q)opportunity for the flesh, but (R)through love serve one another. 14 For (S)all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: (T)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
Walking in the Spirit
16 I say then: (U)Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For (V)the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, (W)so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But (X)if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now (Y)the works of the flesh are evident, which are: [d]adultery, [e]fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 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 (Z)those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But (AA)the fruit of the Spirit is (AB)love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, (AC)goodness, (AD)faithfulness, 23 [g]gentleness, self-control. (AE)Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s (AF)have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 (AG)If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 (AH)Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
