1 Para la libertad Cristo nos libertó. Por tanto estén firmes y no sean sometidos otra vez a yugo de esclavitud.
1 Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
1 Τῇ ἐλευθερίᾳ οὖν, ᾗ Χριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἠλευθέρωσε, στήκετε, καὶ μὴ πάλιν ζυγῷ δουλείας ἐνέχεσθε.
2 Noten que yo, Pablo, les digo que cuando sean circuncidados, de nada los beneficiará Cristo.
2 Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
2 Ἴδε ἐγὼ Παῦλος λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν περιτέμνησθε, Χριστὸς ὑμᾶς οὐδὲν ὠφελήσει.
3 Otra vez a todo circuncidado le digo que está obligado a practicar toda la Ley.
3 Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
3 μαρτύρομαι δὲ πάλιν παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ περιτεμνομένῳ ὅτι ὀφειλέτης ἐστὶν ὅλον τὸν νόμον ποιῆσαι.
4 Los que por [la ]Ley son declarados justos, fueron desligados de Cristo. ¡Cayeron de la gracia!
4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
4 κατηργήθητε ἀπὸ τοῦ Χριστοῦ οἵτινες ἐν νόμῳ δικαιοῦσθε, τῆς χάριτος ἐξεπέσατε·
5 Porque nosotros por el Espíritu de [la ]fe aguardamos por fe la esperanza de la justicia.
5 For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
5 ἡμεῖς γὰρ Πνεύματι ἐκ πίστεως ἐλπίδα δικαιοσύνης ἀπεκδεχόμεθα.
6 Pues en Cristo Jesús, ni [la] circuncisión vale algo, ni [la] incircuncisión, sino [la] fe que se activa por [el ]amor.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.
6 ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ οὔτε περιτομή τι ἰσχύει οὔτε ἀκροβυστία, ἀλλὰ πίστις δι᾽ ἀγάπης ἐνεργουμένη.
7 Corrían bien. ¿Quién les estorbó para no ser persuadidos por [la] verdad?
7 You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
7 Ἐτρέχετε καλῶς· τίς ὑμᾶς ἐνέκοψε τῇ ἀληθείᾳ μὴ πείθεσθαι;
8 Esta persuasión no es del que los llama.
8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
8 ἡ πεισμονὴ οὐκ ἐκ τοῦ καλοῦντος ὑμᾶς.
9 Un poco de levadura leuda toda la masa.
9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
9 μικρὰ ζύμη ὅλον τὸ φύραμα ζυμοῖ.
10 Con respecto a ustedes, me convencí en [el] Señor de que ninguna otra cosa pensarán. Pero el que los perturba llevará la sentencia, cualquiera que sea.
10 I 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.
10 ἐγὼ πέποιθα εἰς ὑμᾶς ἐν Κυρίῳ ὅτι οὐδὲν ἄλλο φρονήσετε· ὁ δὲ ταράσσων ὑμᾶς βαστάσει τὸ κρῖμα, ὅστις ἂν ᾖ.
11 Yo, hermanos, si aún predico [la ]circuncisión, ¿por qué soy todavía perseguido? En tal caso, el tropiezo de la cruz fue abolido.
11 But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
11 ἐγὼ δέ, ἀδελφοί, εἰ περιτομὴν ἔτι κηρύσσω, τί ἔτι διώκομαι; ἄρα κατήργηται τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ.
12 ¡Ojalá se mutilaran los que los perturban!
12 I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
12 ὄφελον καὶ ἀποκόψονται οἱ ἀναστατοῦντες ὑμᾶς.
13 Porque ustedes, hermanos, a libertad fueron llamados. Solo que no usen la libertad como base de abastecimiento para la naturaleza pecaminosa, sino sírvanse los unos a los otros como esclavos por medio del amor.
13 For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.
13 Ὑμεῖς γὰρ ἐπ᾽ ἐλευθερίᾳ ἐκλήθητε, ἀδελφοί· μόνον μὴ τὴν ἐλευθερίαν εἰς ἀφορμὴν τῇ σαρκί, ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς ἀγάπης δουλεύετε ἀλλήλοις.
14 Pues toda [la ]Ley se cumple en una palabra: Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo.
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
14 ὁ γὰρ πᾶς νόμος ἐν ἑνὶ λόγῳ πληροῦται, ἐν τῷ, ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν.
15 Pero si se muerden y se devoran unos a otros, tengan cuidado que no sean consumidos unos por otros.
15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.
15 εἰ δὲ ἀλλήλους δάκνετε καὶ κατεσθίετε, βλέπετε μὴ ὑπ᾽ ἀλλήλων ἀναλωθῆτε.
16 Digo, pues: Vivan en [el ]Espíritu y no satisfagan [los ]deseos apasionados de [la] naturaleza humana.
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.
16 Λέγω δέ, Πνεύματι περιπατεῖτε καὶ ἐπιθυμίαν σαρκὸς οὐ μὴ τελέσητε.
17 Porque [la ]naturaleza humana desea contra el Espíritu, y el Espíritu contra la naturaleza humana, porque éstos se oponen entre sí para que no hagan las cosas que quieran.
17 For 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.
17 ἡ γὰρ σὰρξ ἐπιθυμεῖ κατὰ τοῦ Πνεύματος, τὸ δὲ Πνεῦμα κατὰ τῆς σαρκός· ταῦτα δὲ ἀντίκειται ἀλλήλοις, ἵνα μὴ ἃ ἂν θέλητε ταῦτα ποιῆτε.
18 Pero si son guiados por [el] Espíritu, no están bajo [la ]Ley.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
18 εἰ δὲ Πνεύματι ἄγεσθε, οὐκ ἐστὲ ὑπὸ νόμον.
19 Evidentes son las obras humanas, las cuales son: inmoralidad sexual, impureza, lascivia,
19 Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
19 φανερὰ δέ ἐστι τὰ ἔργα τῆς σαρκός, ἅτινά ἐστι μοιχεία, πορνεία, ἀκαθαρσία, ἀσέλγεια,
20 idolatría, hechicería, hostilidades, contienda, celo, enemistades, rivalidades, disensiones, herejías,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
20 εἰδωλολατρία, φαρμακεία, ἔχθραι, ἔρεις, ζῆλοι, θυμοί, ἐριθεῖαι, διχοστασίαι, αἱρέσεις,
21 envidias, borracheras, orgías y las cosas semejantes a éstas. Les digo con anticipación, como ya dije, que los que las practican no heredarán [el ]reino de Dios.
21 envy, 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 God’s Kingdom.
21 φθόνοι, φόνοι, μέθαι, κῶμοι καὶ τὰ ὅμοια τούτοις, ἃ προλέγω ὑμῖν καθὼς καὶ προεῖπον, ὅτι οἱ τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντες βασιλείαν Θεοῦ οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν.
22 Pero el fruto del espíritu es amor, gozo, paz, longanimidad, benignidad, bondad, fidelidad,
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
22 ὁ δὲ καρπὸς τοῦ Πνεύματός ἐστιν ἀγάπη, χαρά, εἰρήνη, μακροθυμία, χρηστότης, ἀγαθωσύνη, πίστις,
23 mansedumbre, dominio propio, contra los cuales no hay Ley.
23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
23 πρᾳότης, ἐγκράτεια· κατὰ τῶν τοιούτων οὐκ ἔστι νόμος.
24 Pues los que son de Cristo crucificaron la naturaleza humana con las pasiones y deseos ardientes.
24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
24 οἱ δὲ τοῦ Χριστοῦ τὴν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σὺν τοῖς παθήμασι καὶ ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις.
25 Si vivimos en [el] Espíritu, concordemos también con [el] Espíritu.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.
25 Εἰ ζῶμεν Πνεύματι, Πνεύματι καὶ στοιχῶμεν.
26 No nos hagamos vanagloriosos, ni nos provoquemos, ni nos envidiemos unos a otros.
26 Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
26 μὴ γινώμεθα κενόδοξοι, ἀλλήλους προκαλούμενοι, ἀλλήλοις φθονοῦντες.

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, …
