1 τη ελευθερια ουν η χριστοσ ημασ ηλευθερωσεν στηκετε και μη παλιν ζυγω δουλειασ ενεχεσθε
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.
2 ιδε εγω παυλοσ λεγω υμιν οτι εαν περιτεμνησθε χριστοσ υμασ ουδεν ωφελησει
2 Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 μαρτυρομαι δε παλιν παντι ανθρωπω περιτεμνομενω οτι οφειλετησ εστιν ολον τον νομον ποιησαι
3 Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 κατηργηθητε απο του χριστου οιτινεσ εν νομω δικαιουσθε τησ χαριτοσ εξεπεσατε
4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
5 ημεισ γαρ πνευματι εκ πιστεωσ ελπιδα δικαιοσυνησ απεκδεχομεθα
5 For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
6 εν γαρ χριστω ιησου ουτε περιτομη τι ισχυει ουτε ακροβυστια αλλα πιστισ δι αγαπησ ενεργουμενη
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.
7 ετρεχετε καλωσ τισ υμασ ενεκοψεν τη αληθεια μη πειθεσθαι
7 You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
8 η πεισμονη ουκ εκ του καλουντοσ υμασ
8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
9 μικρα ζυμη ολον το φυραμα ζυμοι
9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
10 εγω πεποιθα εισ υμασ εν κυριω οτι ουδεν αλλο φρονησετε ο δε ταρασσων υμασ βαστασει το κριμα οστισ αν η
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.
11 εγω δε αδελφοι ει περιτομην ετι κηρυσσω τι ετι διωκομαι αρα κατηργηται το σκανδαλον του σταυρου
11 But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
12 οφελον και αποκοψονται οι αναστατουντεσ υμασ
12 I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
13 υμεισ γαρ επ ελευθερια εκληθητε αδελφοι μονον μη την ελευθεριαν εισ αφορμην τη σαρκι αλλα δια τησ αγαπησ δουλευετε αλληλοισ
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.
14 ο γαρ πασ νομοσ εν ενι λογω πληρουται εν τω αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου ωσ εαυτον
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
15 ει δε αλληλουσ δακνετε και κατεσθιετε βλεπετε μη υπο αλληλων αναλωθητε
15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.
16 λεγω δε πνευματι περιπατειτε και επιθυμιαν σαρκοσ ου μη τελεσητε
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17 η γαρ σαρξ επιθυμει κατα του πνευματοσ το δε πνευμα κατα τησ σαρκοσ ταυτα δε αντικειται αλληλοισ ινα μη α αν θελητε ταυτα ποιητε
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.
18 ει δε πνευματι αγεσθε ουκ εστε υπο νομον
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 φανερα δε εστιν τα εργα τησ σαρκοσ ατινα εστιν μοιχεια πορνεια ακαθαρσια ασελγεια
19 Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
20 ειδωλολατρεια φαρμακεια εχθραι ερεισ ζηλοι θυμοι εριθειαι διχοστασιαι αιρεσεισ
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
21 φθονοι φονοι μεθαι κωμοι και τα ομοια τουτοισ α προλεγω υμιν καθωσ και προειπον οτι οι τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντεσ βασιλειαν θεου ου κληρονομησουσιν
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.
22 ο δε καρποσ του πνευματοσ εστιν αγαπη χαρα ειρηνη μακροθυμια χρηστοτησ αγαθωσυνη πιστισ
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
23 πραοτησ εγκρατεια κατα των τοιουτων ουκ εστιν νομοσ
23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 οι δε του χριστου την σαρκα εσταυρωσαν συν τοισ παθημασιν και ταισ επιθυμιαισ
24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
25 ει ζωμεν πνευματι πνευματι και στοιχωμεν
25 If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.
26 μη γινωμεθα κενοδοξοι αλληλουσ προκαλουμενοι αλληλοισ φθονουντεσ
26 Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

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, …
