1 State, et nolite iterum jugo servitutis contineri. 2 Ecce ego Paulus dico vobis: quoniam si circumcidamini, Christus vobis nihil proderit. 3 Testificor autem rursus omni homini circumcidenti se, quoniam debitor est universæ legis faciendæ. 4 Evacuati estis a Christo, qui in lege justificamini: a gratia excidistis. 5 Nos enim spiritu ex fide, spem justitiæ exspectamus. 6 Nam in Christo Jesu neque circumcisio aliquid valet, neque præputium: sed fides, quæ per caritatem operatur. 7 Currebatis bene: quis vos impedivit veritati non obedire? 8 persuasio hæc non est ex eo, qui vocat vos. 9 Modicum fermentum totam massam corrumpit. 10 Ego confido in vobis in Domino, quod nihil aliud sapietis: qui autem conturbat vos, portabit judicium, quicumque est ille. 11 Ego autem, fratres, si circumcisionem adhuc prædico: quid adhuc persecutionem patior? ergo evacuatum est scandalum crucis. 12 Utinam et abscindantur qui vos conturbant. 13 Vos enim in libertatem vocati estis, fratres: tantum ne libertatem in occasionem detis carnis, sed per caritatem Spiritus servite invicem. 14 Omnis enim lex in uno sermone impletur: Diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum. 15 Quod si invicem mordetis, et comeditis: videte ne ab invicem consumamini. 16 Dico autem: Spiritu ambulate, et desideria carnis non perficietis. 17 Caro enim concupiscit adversus spiritum, spiritus autem adversus carnem: hæc enim sibi invicem adversantur, ut non quæcumque vultis, illa faciatis. 18 Quod si Spiritu ducimini, non estis sub lege. 19 Manifesta sunt autem opera carnis, quæ sunt fornicatio, immunditia, impudicitia, luxuria, 20 idolorum servitus, veneficia, inimicitiæ, contentiones, æmulationes, iræ, rixæ, dissensiones, sectæ, 21 invidiæ, homicidia, ebrietates, comessationes, et his similia, quæ prædico vobis, sicut prædixi: quoniam qui talia agunt, regnum Dei non consequentur. 22 Fructus autem Spiritus est caritas, gaudium, pax, patientia, benignitas, bonitas, longanimitas, 23 mansuetudo, fides, modestia, continentia, castitas. Adversus hujusmodi non est lex. 24 Qui autem sunt Christi, carnem suam crucifixerunt cum vitiis et concupiscentiis. 25 Si Spiritu vivimus, Spiritu et ambulemus. 26 Non efficiamur inanis gloriæ cupidi, invicem provocantes, invicem invidentes.

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."
