Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 Stand fast therefore in the libertie wherewith Christ hath made vs free, and be not intangled againe with the yoke of bondage.
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 Beholde, I Paul say vnto you, that if yee be circumcised, Christ shall profite you nothing.
2 He aquí yo Pablo os digo, que si os circuncidareis, Cristo no os aprovechará nada.
3 For I testifie againe to euery man, which is circumcised, that he is bound to keepe the whole Lawe.
3 Y otra vez vuelvo á protestar á todo hombre que se circuncidare, que está obligado á hacer toda la ley.
4 Ye are abolished from Christ: whosoeuer are iustified by the Law, ye are fallen from grace.
4 Vacíos sois de Cristo los que por la ley os justificáis; de la gracia habéis caído.
5 For we through the Spirit waite for the hope of righteousnes through faith.
5 Porque nosotros por el Espíritu esperamos la esperanza de la justicia por la fe.
6 For in Iesus Christ neither circumcision auaileth any thing, neither vncircumcision, but faith which worketh by loue.
6 Porque en Cristo Jesús ni la circuncisión vale algo, ni la incircuncisión; sino la fe que obra por la caridad.
7 Ye did runne well: who did let you, that ye did not obey the trueth?
7 Vosotros corríais bien: ¿quién os embarazó para no obedecer á la verdad?
8 It is not the perswasion of him that calleth you.
8 Esta persuasión no [es] de aquel que os llama.
9 A litle leauen doeth leauen the whole lumpe.
9 Un poco de levadura leuda toda la masa.
10 I haue trust in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but hee that troubleth you, shall beare his condemnation, whosoeuer he 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 brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why doe I yet suffer persecution? Then is the slaunder of the crosse abolished.
11 Y yo, hermanos, si aun predico la circuncisión, ¿por qué padezco persecución todavía? pues que quitado es el escándalo de la cruz.
12 Would to God they were euen cut off, which doe disquiet you.
12 Ojalá fuesen también cortados los que os inquietan.
13 For brethren, ye haue bene called vnto libertie: onely vse not your libertie as an occasion vnto the flesh, but by loue serue one another.
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 all the Lawe is fulfilled in one worde, which is this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
14 Porque toda la ley en aquesta sola palabra se cumple: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.
15 If ye bite and deuoure one another, take heede least ye be consumed one of 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 Then I say, Walke in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lustes of the flesh.
16 Digo pues: Andad en el Espíritu, y no satisfagáis la concupiscencia de la carne.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary one to another, so that ye can not doe the same things that ye would.
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 And if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not vnder the Lawe.
18 Mas si sois guiados del Espíritu, no estáis bajo la ley.
19 Moreouer the workes of the flesh are manifest, which are adulterie, fornication, vncleannes, wantonnes,
19 Y manifiestas son las obras de la carne, que son: adulterio, fornicación, inmundicia, disolución,
20 Idolatrie, witchcraft, hatred, debate, emulations, wrath, contentions, seditions, heresies,
20 Idolatría, hechicerías, enemistades, pleitos, celos, iras, contiendas, disensiones, herejías,
21 Enuie, murthers, drunkennesse, gluttonie, and such like, whereof I tell you before, as I also haue tolde you before, that they which doe such things, shall not inherite the kingdome 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 fruite of the Spirit is loue, ioye, peace, long suffering, gentlenes, goodnes, fayth,
22 Mas el fruto del Espíritu es: caridad, gozo, paz, tolerancia, benignidad, bondad, fe,
23 Meekenesse, temperancie: against such there is no lawe.
23 Mansedumbre, templanza: contra tales cosas no hay ley.
24 For they that are Christes, haue crucified the flesh with the affections and the lustes.
24 Porque los que son de Cristo, han crucificado la carne con los afectos y concupiscencias.
25 If we liue in the Spirit, let vs also walke in the Spirit.
25 Si vivimos en el Espíritu, andemos también en el Espíritu.
26 Let vs not be desirous of vaine glorie, prouoking one another, enuying 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, …
