Galatians 5 King James Version (with Apocrypha)
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again 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 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
2 He aquí yo Pablo os digo, que si os circuncidareis, Cristo no os aprovechará nada.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
3 Y otra vez vuelvo á protestar á todo hombre que se circuncidare, que está obligado á hacer toda la ley.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified 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 wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
5 Porque nosotros por el Espíritu esperamos la esperanza de la justicia por la fe.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
6 Porque en Cristo Jesús ni la circuncisión vale algo, ni la incircuncisión; sino la fe que obra por la caridad.
7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
7 Vosotros corríais bien: ¿quién os embarazó para no obedecer á la verdad?
8 This persuasion [cometh] not of him that calleth you.
8 Esta persuasión no [es] de aquel que os llama.
9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
9 Un poco de levadura leuda toda la masa.
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.
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 I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
11 Y yo, hermanos, si aun predico la circuncisión, ¿por qué padezco persecución todavía? pues que quitado es el escándalo de la cruz.
12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
12 Ojalá fuesen también cortados los que os inquietan.
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.
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 law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
14 Porque toda la ley en aquesta sola palabra se cumple: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not 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 [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust 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 the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the 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 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye 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, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
19 Y manifiestas son las obras de la carne, que son: adulterio, fornicación, inmundicia, disolución,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
20 Idolatría, hechicerías, enemistades, pleitos, celos, iras, contiendas, disensiones, herejías,
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.
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 love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
22 Mas el fruto del Espíritu es: caridad, gozo, paz, tolerancia, benignidad, bondad, fe,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
23 Mansedumbre, templanza: contra tales cosas no hay ley.
24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
24 Porque los que son de Cristo, han crucificado la carne con los afectos y concupiscencias.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
25 Si vivimos en el Espíritu, andemos también en el Espíritu.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain 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, …
