1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. 7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? 8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. 9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 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. 11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. 12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you. 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. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 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. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 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. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

1 基督释放了我们， 为了要使我们得自由。所以你们要站立得稳， 不要再被奴役的轭控制。

2 我保罗现在告诉你们， 如果你们受割礼， 基督对你们就毫无益处了。

3 我再对所有受割礼的人郑重声明： 他有责任遵行全部的律法。

4 你们这些靠律法称义的人， 是和基督隔绝， 从恩典中坠落了。

5 我们靠着圣灵， 凭着信， 热切等候所盼望的义。

6 因为在基督耶稣里， 受割礼或不受割礼， 都没有用处， 唯有那借着爱表达出来的信， 才有用处。

7 你们向来跑得好， 谁拦阻了你们， 使你们不顺从真理呢？

8 这种劝诱不是出于那召你们的。

9 一点面酵能使全团面发起来。

10 我在主里深信你们不会存别的意念； 但那搅扰你们的， 无论是谁， 必定要受刑罚。

11 弟兄们， 如果我仍旧传割礼， 我为什么还受迫害呢？若是这样， 十字架绊倒人的地方就没有了。

12 我恨不得那些扰乱你们的人把自己阉割了！

13 弟兄们， 你们蒙召得了自由； 只是不可把这自由当作放纵情欲的机会， 总要凭着爱心互相服事。

14 因为全部的律法， 都在"爱人如己"这一句话里面成全了。

15 你们要谨慎， 如果相咬相吞， 恐怕彼此都要毁灭了。

16 我是说， 你们应当顺着圣灵行事， 这样就一定不会去满足肉体的私欲了。

17 因为肉体的私欲和圣灵敌对， 圣灵也和肉体敌对； 这两样互相敌对， 使你们不能作自己愿意作的。

18 但你们若被圣灵引导， 就不在律法以下了。

19 肉体所行的都是显而易见的， 就如淫乱、污秽、邪荡、

20 拜偶像、行邪术、仇恨、争竞、忌恨、忿怒、自私、分党、结派、

21 嫉妒、醉酒、荒宴， 和类似的事。我从前早就告诉过你们， 现在又事先告诉你们： 行这些事的人， 必定不能承受 神的国。

22 但圣灵的果子是仁爱、喜乐、平安、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实、

23 温柔、节制； 这样的事， 是没有律法禁止的。

24 属基督耶稣的人， 是已经把肉体和邪情私欲都钉在十字架上了。

25 如果我们靠圣灵活着， 就应该顺着圣灵行事。

26 我们不可贪图虚荣， 彼此触怒， 互相嫉妒。
