Beginning

4 What I am saying legō · de is that as long as epi the ho heir klēronomos is eimi a minor nēpios, he differs diapherō not at all oudeis from a slave, even though in fact eimi he owns kyrios the entire pas estate. ² However alla, he remains eimi under hypo the care of guardians epitropē and kai managers oikonomos until achri the ho time determined prothesmia by his ho father patēr. ³ And kai so it is houtōs with us hēmeis. While hote we were eimi minors nēpios, we were eimi enslaved douloō to hypo the ho elementary stoicheion principles of the ho world kosmos. ⁴ But de when hote the ho fullness plērōma of ho time chronos had come erchomai, God theos sent forth exapostellō · ho · ho his autos Son hyios, born ginomai of ek a woman gynē, born ginomai under hypo law nomos, ⁵ to hina redeem exagorazō those ho who were under hypo law nomos, so that hina we might receive apolambanō · ho adoption as sons hyiothesia. ⁶ And de because hoti you are eimi sons hyios, God theos sent exapostellō · ho the ho Spirit pneuma of ho his autos Son hyios into eis · ho our hēmeis hearts kardia, who cries krazō out “ Abba abba! · ho Father patēr!” ⁷ So hōste you are eimi no longer ouketi a slave, but alla a son hyios; and de since ei you are a son hyios, then kai you are an heir klēronomos through dia God theos.

⁸ Formerly alla tote, when you did not ou know oida God theos, you were enslaved douleuō to those ho who eimi by nature physis are eimi not mē gods theos. ⁹ But de now nyn that you have come to know ginōskō God theos— or de rather mallon, are known ginōskō by hypo God theos— how pōs can you turn back epistrephō again palin to epi the ho feeble asthenēs and kai inferior ptōchos elementary principles stoicheion of the world ? How can you want thelō to be douleuō their hos slaves douleuō all over anōthen again palin? ¹⁰ You scrupulously observe paratēreō special days hēmera and kai months mēn and kai seasons kairos and kai years eniautos! ¹¹ I am afraid phobeomai that pōs I may have labored kopiaō over eis you hymeis to no avail eikē.

¹² Become ginomai as hōs I egō am, because hoti I kagō have become as hōs you hymeis are; I plead deomai with you hymeis, brothers adelphos. You have done adikeō me egō no oudeis wrong adikeō. ¹³ You know oida · de that hoti it was due to dia a physical sarx infirmity astheneia · ho that I preached the gospel euangelizō to you hymeis at ho first proteros; ¹⁴ and kai though my egō condition sarx was a ho trial peirasmos to you hymeis, · ho you did not ou despise exoutheneō or oude reject ekptyō me, but alla you welcomed dechomai me egō as hōs an angel angelos of God theos, as hōs though I were Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous. ¹⁵ What pou then oun became of the ho blessing makarismos you hymeis enjoyed? For gar I testify martyreō about you hymeis that hoti, if ei possible dynatos, you would have torn out exoryssō · ho your hymeis eyes ophthalmos and given didōmi them to me egō! ¹⁶ So then hōste, have I become ginomai your hymeis enemy echthros by telling you hymeis the truth alētheuō?

¹⁷ They zealously seek zēloō your hymeis favor, but for no ou good kalōs purpose . Rather alla, they want thelō to separate ekkleiō you hymeis from us so that hina you will seek zēloō them autos. ¹⁸ Now de to be zealous zēloō for en a good purpose kalos is always pantote good kalos, · kai not mē just monon when en I egō am present pareimi with pros you hymeis.

¹⁹ My egō little children teknon, for whom hos I am again palin in the pain of childbirth ōdinō until mechri Christ Christos is formed morphoō in en you hymeis, ²⁰ I wish thelō · de I could be pareimi with pros you hymeis now arti and kai change allassō · ho my egō tone phōnē, for hoti I am perplexed aporeō about en you hymeis.

²¹ Tell legō me egō, you who ho want thelō to be eimi under hypo the law nomos, will you akouō not ou listen to akouō the ho law nomos? ²² For gar it is written graphō that hoti Abraham Abraam had echō two dyo sons hyios, one heis by ek the ho slave woman paidiskē and kai one heis by ek the ho free woman eleutheros. ²³ The ho son by ek the ho slave paidiskē woman was born gennaō according kata to the flesh sarx, but de the ho son by ek the ho free woman eleutheros was born as the result of dia promise epangelia. ²⁴ This hostis may be eimi interpreted allegorically allēgoreō, for gar these houtos women represent eimi two dyo covenants diathēkē. One heis is from apo Mount oros Sinai Sina, bearing children gennaō to be eis slaves douleia; she hostis is eimi Hagar Hagar. ²⁵ · ho Now de Hagar Hagar represents eimi Mount oros Sinai Sina in en · ho Arabia Arabia and de corresponds to systoicheō the ho present nyn Jerusalem Ierousalēm, for gar she is in slavery douleuō with meta · ho her autos children teknon. ²⁶ But de the ho Jerusalem Ierousalēm above anō is eimi the free eleutheros woman , and she hostis is eimi our hēmeis mother mētēr. ²⁷ For gar it is written graphō, “ Rejoice euphrainō, O barren woman steira, you who ho bear no ou children tiktō; break forth rhēgnymi and kai cry aloud boaō, you who ho are not ou in the pain of childbirth ōdinō! For hoti the ho children teknon of the ho desolate erēmos will be more mallon in number polys than ē those ho of the woman who has echō a ho husband anēr. ²⁸ But de you hymeis, my brothers adelphos, like kata Isaac Isaak, are eimi children teknon of promise epangelia. ²⁹ But alla just as hōsper at that time tote the ho one who was born gennaō according to kata the flesh sarx persecuted diōkō the ho one who was born according to kata the Spirit pneuma, so houtōs also kai it is now nyn. ³⁰ But alla what tis does the ho Scripture graphē say legō? “ Drive away ekballō the ho slave woman paidiskē and kai · ho her autos son hyios, for gar the ho son hyios of the ho slave woman paidiskē must not ou share the inheritance klēronomeō with meta the ho son hyios of the ho free woman eleutheros.” ³¹ So then dio, brothers adelphos, we are eimi not ou children teknon of a slave woman paidiskē but alla of the ho free woman eleutheros.

5 For ho freedom eleutheria Christ Christos has set us hēmeis free eleutheroō. Stand firm stēkō, therefore oun, and kai do enechō not mē be subject enechō again palin to a yoke zygos of slavery douleia.

² Listen ide! I egō, Paul Paulos, tell legō you hymeis that hoti if ean you agree to circumcision peritemnō, Christ Christos will be of ōpheleō no oudeis benefit to ōpheleō you hymeis. ³ And de furthermore palin I declare martyromai to every pas man anthrōpos who agrees to circumcision peritemnō that hoti he is eimi obligated opheiletēs to obey poieō the ho entire holos law nomos. ⁴ You have cut yourself katargeō off from apo Christ Christos, you dikaioō who hostis are trying to be justified dikaioō by en the law nomos; you have fallen away ekpiptō from ho grace charis. ⁵ For gar we hēmeis by the Spirit pneuma, through ek faith pistis, eagerly await apekdechomai the righteousness dikaiosynē for which we hope elpis. ⁶ For gar in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous neither oute circumcision peritomē nor oute uncircumcision akrobystia counts for ischuō anything tis, but alla only faith pistis expressing itself energeō through dia love agapē.

⁷ You were running trechō well kalōs; who tis hindered enkoptō you hymeis from mē obeying peithō the ho truth alētheia? ⁸ Such ho persuasion peismonē does not ou come from ek the ho one who calls kaleō you hymeis. ⁹ A little mikros leaven zymē leavens zymoō the ho whole holos lump of dough phyrama! ¹⁰ I egō am confident peithō about eis you hymeis in en the Lord kyrios that hoti you will phroneō not oudeis think phroneō otherwise allos. But de the ho one who is trying to confuse tarassō you hymeis will pay bastazō the ho penalty krima, whoever hostis ean he may be eimi. ¹¹ But de I egō, brothers adelphos, if ei I am kēryssō still eti preaching kēryssō circumcision peritomē, why tis am I still eti being persecuted diōkō? In that case ara the ho offense skandalon of the ho cross stauros has been removed katargeō. ¹² I wish ophelon · kai those ho who are disturbing anastatoō you hymeis would mutilate apokoptō themselves !

¹³ For gar you hymeis, brothers adelphos, were called kaleō to epi freedom eleutheria. Only monon do not mē use your ho freedom eleutheria as eis an opportunity aphormē for the ho flesh sarx, but alla through dia · ho love agapē serve douleuō one another allēlōn. ¹⁴ For gar the ho entire pas law nomos is summed up plēroō in en a single heis command logos: “ You shall love agapaō · ho your sy neighbor plēsion as hōs yourself seautou.” ¹⁵ But de if ei you keep on biting daknō and kai devouring katesthiō one another allēlōn, watch out blepō that you are analoō not mē consumed analoō by hypo one another allēlōn.

¹⁶ So de I say legō, live peripateō by the Spirit pneuma and kai you will teleō not ou gratify teleō the desires epithumia of the flesh sarx. ¹⁷ For gar the ho desires epithumeō of the flesh sarx are against kata the ho Spirit pneuma, and de the desires of the ho Spirit pneuma are against kata the ho flesh sarx; for gar these houtos are opposed antikeimai to one allēlōn another , to hina keep you poieō from mē doing poieō the things houtos you want thelō to do. ¹⁸ But de if ei you are led agō by the Spirit pneuma, you are eimi not ou under hypo the law nomos.

¹⁹ Now de the ho works ergon of the ho flesh sarx are eimi obvious phaneros: sexual immorality porneia, impurity akatharsia, debauchery aselgeia, ²⁰ idolatry eidōlolatria, sorcery pharmakeia, quarrels echthra, strife eris, jealousy zēlos, fits of rage thumos, selfish rivalries eritheia, dissensions dichostasia, divisions hairesis, ²¹ envyings phthonos, drunkenness methē, orgies kōmos, and kai things ho like homoios these houtos. I warn prolegō you hymeis, as kathōs I warned you before: those ho who practice prassō · ho such things toioutos will klēronomeō not ou inherit klēronomeō the kingdom basileia of God theos!

²² By contrast de, the ho fruit karpos of the ho Spirit pneuma is eimi love agapē, joy chara, peace eirēnē, patience makrothumia, kindness chrēstotēs, generosity agathōsynē, faithfulness pistis, ²³ gentleness prautēs, self-control enkrateia; against kata · ho such things toioutos there is eimi no ou law nomos. ²⁴ And de those ho who stauroō belong ho to Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous have crucified stauroō the ho flesh sarx with syn its ho passions pathēma and kai · ho desires epithumia. ²⁵ Since ei we live zaō by the Spirit pneuma, let us stoicheō also kai be guided stoicheō by the Spirit pneuma. ²⁶ Let us not mē become ginomai conceited kenodoxos, provoking prokaleō one another allēlōn, being jealous of phthoneō one another allēlōn.

6 My brothers adelphos, if ean · kai someone anthrōpos is detected prolambanō in en some tis wrongdoing paraptōma, you hymeis who ho are spiritual pneumatikos should restore katartizō that ho one toioutos in en a spirit pneuma of gentleness prautēs, taking care skopeō lest mē you sy yourself seautou · kai be tempted peirazō. ² Bear bastazō one another’ s allēlōn · ho burdens baros, and kai in this way houtōs you will fulfill anaplēroō the ho law nomos of ho Christ Christos. ³ For gar if ei anyone tis thinks dokeō he is eimi something tis, when he is eimi nothing mēdeis, he deceives phrenapataō himself heautou. ⁴ But de let dokimazō each one hekastos examine dokimazō · ho his own heautou work ergon, and kai then tote he will have echō reason for boasting kauchēma in eis himself heautou alone monos, · ho and kai not ou in eis comparison with · ho someone else heteros. ⁵ For gar each one hekastos will bear bastazō · ho his own idios load phortion.

⁶ Now de the ho one who is taught katēcheō the ho word logos must share koinōneō all pas good things agathos with the ho one who teaches katēcheō.

⁷ Do not mē be deceived planaō: God theos is not ou mocked myktērizō. For gar whatever hos a person anthrōpos sows speirō, that houtos will he also kai reap therizō. ⁸ For hoti the ho one who sows speirō to eis · ho his own heautou flesh sarx, from ek the ho flesh sarx will reap therizō corruption phthora; but de the ho one who sows speirō to eis the ho Spirit pneuma, from ek the ho Spirit pneuma will reap therizō eternal aiōnios life zōē. ⁹ So de let us not mē grow tired of doing poieō what ho is right kalos, for gar in due idios time kairos we will reap therizō, if we do not mē give up eklyō. ¹⁰ So ara then oun, as hōs we have echō opportunity kairos, let us do ergazomai · ho good agathos to pros everyone pas, and de especially malista to pros those of the ho family oikeios of ho faith pistis.

¹¹ See with what large pēlikos letters gramma I am writing graphō to you hymeis with ho my emos own hand cheir! ¹² Those hosos who want thelō to make a good showing euprosōpeō in en the flesh sarx, they houtos are the ones trying to force anankazō you hymeis to be circumcised peritemnō— only monon so that hina they may diōkō not mē be persecuted diōkō for the ho cross stauros of ho Christ Christos. ¹³ For gar even oude those ho who are circumcised peritemnō do phylassō not themselves autos keep phylassō the law nomos, but alla they want thelō you hymeis to be circumcised peritemnō so that hina they may boast kauchaomai in en · ho your hymeteros flesh sarx. ¹⁴ But de may ginomai I egō never mē boast kauchaomai, except ei mē in en the ho cross stauros of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, through dia which hos the world kosmos has been crucified stauroō to me egō, and I kagō to the world kosmos. ¹⁵ For gar neither oute circumcision peritomē nor oute uncircumcision akrobystia is eimi anything tis, but alla a new kainos creation ktisis. ¹⁶ As for kai all hosos who will follow stoicheō · ho this houtos rule kanōn—may peace eirēnē and kai mercy eleos be upon epi them autos, even kai upon epi the ho Israel Israēl of ho God theos.

¹⁷ From now on ho let parechō no one mēdeis cause parechō me egō trouble kopos, for gar I egō bear bastazō the ho marks stigma of ho Jesus Iēsous on en · ho my egō body sōma.

¹⁸ May the ho grace charis of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos be with meta · ho your hymeis spirit pneuma, my brothers adelphos. Amen amēn.
