갈라디아서 5

1그리스도께서 우리로 자유케 하려고 자유를 주셨으니 그러므로 굳세게 서서 다시는 종의 멍에를 메지 말라 2보라 나 바울은 너희에게 말하노니 너희가 만일 할례를 받으면 그리스도께서 너희에게 아무 유익이 없으리라 3내가 할례를 받는 각 사람에게 다시 증거하노니 그는 율법 전체를 행할 의무를 가진 자라 4율법 안에서 의롭다 함을 얻으려 하는 너희는 그리스도에게서 끊어지고 은혜에서 떨어진 자로다 5우리가 성령으로 믿음을 좇아 의의 소망을 기다리노니 6그리스도 예수 안에서는 할례나 무할례가 효력이 없되 사랑으로써 역사하는 믿음뿐이니라 7너희가 달음질을 잘 하더니 누가 너희를 막아 진리를 순종치 않게 하더냐 8그 권면이 너희를 부르신 이에게서 난 것이 아니라 9적은 누룩이 온 덩이에 퍼지느니라 10나는 너희가 아무 다른 마음도 품지 아니할 줄을 주 안에서 확신하노라 그러나 너희를 요동케 하는 자는 누구든지 심판을 받으리라 11형제들아 내가 지금까지 할례를 전하면 어찌하여 지금까지 핍박을 받으리요 그리하였으면 십자가의 거치는 것이 그쳤으리니 12너희를 어지럽게 하는 자들이 스스로 베어버리기를 원하노라 13형제들아 너희가 자유를 위하여 부르심을 입었으나 그러나 그 자유로 육체의 기회를 삼지 말고 오직 사랑으로 서로 종 노릇 하라 14온 율법은 네 이웃 사랑하기를 네 몸 같이 하라 하신 한 말씀에 이루었나니 15만일 서로 물고 먹으면 피차 멸망할까 조심하라 16내가 이르노니 너희는 성령을 좇아 행하라 그리하면 육체의 욕심을 이루지 아니하리라 17육체의 소욕은 성령을 거스리고 성령의 소욕은 육체를 거스리나니 이 둘이 서로 대적함으로 너희의 원하는 것을 하지 못하게 하려 함이니라 18너희가 만일 성령의 인도하시는 바가 되면 율법 아래 있지 아니하리라 19육체의 일은 현저하니 곧 음행과 더러운 것과 호색과 20우상 숭배와 술수와 원수를 맺는 것과 분쟁과 시기와 분냄과 당 짓는 것과 분리함과 이단과 21투기와 술 취함과 방탕함과 또 그와 같은 것들이라 전에 너희에게 경계한 것 같이 경계하노니 이런 일을 하는 자들은 하나님의 나라를 유업으로 받지 못할 것이요 22오직 성령의 열매는 사랑과 희락과 화평과 오래 참음과 자비와 양선과 충성과 23온유와 절제니 이같은 것을 금지할 법이 없느니라 24그리스도 예수의 사람들은 육체와 함께 그 정과 욕심을 십자가에 못 박았느니라 25만일 우리가 성령으로 살면 또한 성령으로 행할지니 26헛된 영광을 구하여 서로 격동하고 서로 투기하지 말지니라

1Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing. 3Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace. 5For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness. 6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love. 7You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth? 8This persuasion is not from him who calls you. 9A little yeast grows through the whole lump. 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. 11But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed. 12I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off. 13For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another. 14For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another. 16But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh. 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. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, 20idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, 21envyings, 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 the Kingdom of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. 25If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit. 26Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

1Staat dan in de vrijheid, met welke ons Christus vrijgemaakt heeft, en wordt niet wederom met het juk der dienstbaarheid bevangen. 2Ziet, ik Paulus zeg u, zo gij u laat besnijden, dat Christus u niet nut zal zijn. 3En ik betuig wederom een iegelijk mens, die zich laat besnijden, dat hij een schuldenaar is de gehele wet te doen. 4Christus is u ijdel geworden, die door de wet gerechtvaardigd wilt worden; gij zijt van de genade vervallen. 5Want wij verwachten door den Geest, uit het geloof, de hoop der rechtvaardigheid. 6Want in Christus Jezus heeft noch besnijdenis enige kracht noch voorhuid, maar het geloof, door de liefde werkende. 7Gij liept wel; wie heeft u verhinderd der waarheid niet gehoorzaam te zijn? 8Dit gevoelen is niet uit Hem, Die u roept. 9Een weinig zuurdesem verzuurt het gehele deeg. 10Ik vertrouw van u in den Heere, dat gij niet anders zult gevoelen; maar die u ontroert, zal het oordeel dragen, wie hij ook zij. 11Maar ik, broeders! Indien ik nog de besnijdenis predik, waarom word ik nog vervolgd? Zo is dan de ergernis des kruises vernietigd. 12Och, of zij ook afgesneden werden, die u onrustig maken! 13Want gij zijt tot vrijheid geroepen, broeders, alleenlijk gebruikt de vrijheid niet tot een oorzaak voor het vlees; maar dient elkander door de liefde. 14Want de gehele wet wordt in een woord vervuld, namelijk in dit: Gij zult uw naaste liefhebben, gelijk uzelven. 15Maar indien gij elkander bijt en vereet, ziet toe, dat gij van elkander niet verteerd wordt. 16En ik zeg: Wandelt door den Geest en volbrengt de begeerlijkheden des vleses niet. 17Want het vlees begeert tegen den Geest, en de Geest tegen het vlees; en deze staan tegen elkander, alzo dat gij niet doet, hetgeen gij wildet. 18Maar indien gij door den Geest geleid wordt, zo zijt gij niet onder de wet. 19De werken des vleses nu zijn openbaar; welke zijn overspel, hoererij, onreinigheid, ontuchtigheid, 20Afgoderij, venijngeving, vijandschappen, twisten, afgunstigheden, toorn, gekijf, tweedracht, ketterijen, 21Nijd, moord, dronkenschappen, brasserijen, en dergelijke; van dewelke ik u te voren zeg, gelijk ik ook te voren gezegd heb, dat die zulke dingen doen, het Koninkrijk Gods niet zullen beerven. 22Maar de vrucht des Geestes is liefde, blijdschap, vrede, lankmoedigheid, goedertierenheid, goedheid, geloof, zachtmoedigheid, matigheid. 23Tegen de zodanigen is de wet niet. 24Maar die van Christus zijn, hebben het vlees gekruist met de bewegingen en begeerlijkheden. 25Indien wij door den Geest leven, zo laat ons ook door den Geest wandelen. 26Laat ons niet zijn zoekers van ijdele eer, elkander tergende, elkander benijdende.
