1 Stand firm, and do not be willing to be again held by the yoke of servitude.
1 ESTAD, pues, firmes en la libertad con que Cristo nos hizo libres, y no volváis otra vez á ser presos en el yugo de servidumbre.
2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if you have been circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
2 He aquí yo Pablo os digo, que si os circuncidareis, Cristo no os aprovechará nada.
3 For I again testify, about every man circumcising himself, that he is obligated to act according to the entire law.
3 Y otra vez vuelvo á protestar á todo hombre que se circuncidare, que está obligado á hacer toda la ley.
4 You are being emptied of Christ, you who are being justified by the law. You have fallen from grace.
4 Vacíos sois de Cristo los que por la ley os justificáis; de la gracia habéis caído.
5 For in spirit, by faith, we await the hope of justice.
5 Porque nosotros por el Espíritu esperamos la esperanza de la justicia por la fe.
6 For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails over anything, but only faith which works through charity.
6 Porque en Cristo Jesús ni la circuncisión vale algo, ni la incircuncisión; sino la fe que obra por la caridad.
7 You have run well. So what has impeded you, that you would not obey the truth?
7 Vosotros corríais bien: ¿quién os embarazó para no obedecer á la verdad?
8 This kind of influence is not from him who is calling you.
8 Esta persuasión no [es] de aquel que os llama.
9 A little leaven corrupts the whole mass.
9 Un poco de levadura leuda toda la masa.
10 I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will accept nothing of the kind. However, he who disturbs you shall bear the judgment, whomever he may be.
10 Yo confío de vosotros en el Señor, que ninguna otra cosa sentiréis: mas el que os inquieta, llevará el juicio, quienquiera que él sea.
11 And as for me, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still suffering persecution? For then the scandal of the Cross would be made empty.
11 Y yo, hermanos, si aun predico la circuncisión, ¿por qué padezco persecución todavía? pues que quitado es el escándalo de la cruz.
12 And I wish that those who disturb you would be torn away.
12 Ojalá fuesen también cortados los que os inquietan.
13 For you, brothers, have been called to liberty. Only you must not make liberty into an occasion for the flesh, but instead, serve one another through the charity of the Spirit.
13 Porque vosotros, hermanos, á libertad habéis sido llamados; solamente que no [uséis] la libertad como ocasión á la carne, sino servíos por amor los unos á los otros.
14 For the entire law is fulfilled by one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
14 Porque toda la ley en aquesta sola palabra se cumple: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.
15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not consumed by one another!
15 Y si os mordéis y os coméis los unos á los otros, mirad que también no os consumáis los unos á los otros.
16 So then, I say: Walk in the spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.
16 Digo pues: Andad en el Espíritu, y no satisfagáis la concupiscencia de la carne.
17 For the flesh desires against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. And since these are against one another, you may not do whatever you want.
17 Porque la carne codicia contra el Espíritu, y el Espíritu contra la carne: y estas cosas se oponen la una á la otra, para que no hagáis lo que quisiereis.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
18 Mas si sois guiados del Espíritu, no estáis bajo la ley.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest; they are: fornication, lust, homosexuality, self-indulgence,
19 Y manifiestas son las obras de la carne, que son: adulterio, fornicación, inmundicia, disolución,
20 the serving of idols, drug use, hostility, contentiousness, jealousy, wrath, quarrels, dissensions, divisions,
20 Idolatría, hechicerías, enemistades, pleitos, celos, iras, contiendas, disensiones, herejías,
21 envy, murder, inebriation, carousing, and similar things. About these things, I continue to preach to you, as I have preached to you: that those who act in this way shall not obtain the kingdom of God.
21 Envidias, homicidios, borracheras, banqueteos, y cosas semejantes á éstas: de las cuales os denuncio, como ya os he anunciado, que los que hacen tales cosas no heredarán el reino de Dios.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, forbearance,
22 Mas el fruto del Espíritu es: caridad, gozo, paz, tolerancia, benignidad, bondad, fe,
23 meekness, faith, modesty, abstinence, chastity. There is no law against such things.
23 Mansedumbre, templanza: contra tales cosas no hay ley.
24 For those who are Christ’s have crucified their flesh, along with its vices and desires.
24 Porque los que son de Cristo, han crucificado la carne con los afectos y concupiscencias.
25 If we live by the Spirit, we should also walk by the Spirit.
25 Si vivimos en el Espíritu, andemos también en el Espíritu.
26 Let us not become desirous of empty glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
26 No seamos codiciosos de vana gloria, irritando los unos á los otros, envidiándose los unos á los otros.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… again, he proceeds to tell us the spiritual actions which vivify a man, that is, the engrafting of the Spirit; thus saying, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, benignity, faith, meekness, continence, chastity: against these there is no law." As, therefore, he who has gone forward to the better things, and has brought forth …
Thus came I to understand, from my own experience, what I had read, how that "the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh." I verily lusted both ways; yet more in that which I approved in myself, than in that which I disapproved in myself.

… as received Him," it is said "to them gave He power to become the sons of God." And yet many of these children Paul hath affirmed to be nothing profited by their father; "For if ye be circumcised," saith he, "Christ shall profit you nothing." And if Christ be no help to those who will not take heed to themselves, …
