WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free — stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;
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.
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 lo, I Paul do say to 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.
2 Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 and I testify again to every man 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.
3 Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;
4 Vacíos sois de Cristo los que por la ley os justificáis; de la gracia habéis caído.
4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
5 for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for,
5 Porque nosotros por el Espíritu esperamos la esperanza de la justicia por la fe.
5 For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
6 for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.
6 Porque en Cristo Jesús ni la circuncisión vale algo, ni la incircuncisión; sino la fe que obra por la caridad.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.
7 Ye were running well; who did hinder you — not to obey the truth?
7 Vosotros corríais bien: ¿quién os embarazó para no obedecer á la verdad?
7 You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
8 the obedience [is] not of him who is calling you!
8 Esta persuasión no [es] de aquel que os llama.
8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
9 a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven;
9 Un poco de levadura leuda toda la masa.
9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
10 I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may 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.
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 And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away;
11 Y yo, hermanos, si aun predico la circuncisión, ¿por qué padezco persecución todavía? pues que quitado es el escándalo de la cruz.
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 O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!
12 Ojalá fuesen también cortados los que os inquietan.
12 I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
13 For ye — to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye 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.
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 for all the law in one word is fulfilled — 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.
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
15 and if one another ye do bite and devour, see — that ye may not by one another be consumed.
15 Y si os mordéis y os coméis los unos á los otros, mirad que también no os consumáis los unos á los otros.
15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.
16 And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete;
16 Digo pues: Andad en el Espíritu, y no satisfagáis la concupiscencia de la carne.
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17 for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will — these ye may not do;
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.
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 and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law.
18 Mas si sois guiados del Espíritu, no estáis bajo la ley.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
19 Y manifiestas son las obras de la carne, que son: adulterio, fornicación, inmundicia, disolución,
19 Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects,
20 Idolatría, hechicerías, enemistades, pleitos, celos, iras, contiendas, disensiones, herejías,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
21 envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.
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.
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 And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
22 Mas el fruto del Espíritu es: caridad, gozo, paz, tolerancia, benignidad, bondad, fe,
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;
23 Mansedumbre, templanza: contra tales cosas no hay ley.
23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;
24 Porque los que son de Cristo, han crucificado la carne con los afectos y concupiscencias.
24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
25 if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk;
25 Si vivimos en el Espíritu, andemos también en el Espíritu.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.
26 let us not become vain-glorious — one another provoking, one another envying!
26 No seamos codiciosos de vana gloria, irritando los unos á los otros, envidiándose los unos á los otros.
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, …
