Galatians

The epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Galatians, chapter 5, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 5 Vulgate

   1 Hac libertate nos Christus liberavit; state igitur et nolite iterum iugo servitutis detineri.
   2 Ecce ego Paulus dico vobis quoniam, si circumcidamini, Christus vobis nihil proderit.
   3 Testificor autem rursum omni homini circumcidenti se quoniam debitor est universae legis faciendae.
   4 Evacuati estis a Christo, qui in lege iustificamini, a gratia excidistis.
   5 Nos enim Spiritu ex fide spem iustitiae exspectamus.
   6 Nam in Christo Iesu neque circumcisio aliquid valet neque praeputium, sed fides, quae per caritatem operatur.
   7 Currebatis bene; quis vos impedivit veritati non oboedire?
   8 Haec persuasio 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 iudicium, quicumque est ille.
   11 Ego autem, fratres, si circumcisionem adhuc praedico, quid adhuc persecutionem patior? Ergo evacuatum est scandalum crucis.
   12 Utinam et abscidantur, qui vos conturbant!
   13 Vos enim in libertatem vocati estis, fratres; tantum ne libertatem in occasionem detis carni, sed per caritatem servite invicem.
   14 Omnis enim lex in uno sermone impletur, in hoc: Diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum.
   15 Quod si invicem mordetis et devoratis, videte, ne ab invicem consumamini!
   16 Dico autem: Spiritu ambulate et concupiscentiam carnis ne perfeceritis.
   17 Caro enim concupiscit adversus Spiritum, Spiritus autem adversus carnem; haec enim invicem adversantur, ut non, quaecumque vultis, illa faciatis.
   18 Quod si Spiritu ducimini, non estis sub lege.
   19 Manifesta autem sunt opera carnis, quae sunt fornicatio, immunditia, luxuria,
   20 idolorum servitus, veneficia, inimicitiae, contentiones, aemulationes, irae, rixae, dissensiones, sectae,
   21 invidiae, ebrietates, comissationes et his similia; quae praedico vobis, sicut praedixi, quoniam, qui talia agunt, regnum Dei non consequentur.
   22 Fructus autem Spiritus est caritas, gaudium, pax, longanimitas, benignitas, bonitas, fides,
   23 mansuetudo, continentia; adversus huiusmodi non est lex.
   24 Qui autem sunt Christi Iesu, carnem crucifixerunt cum vitiis et concupiscentiis.
   25 Si vivimus Spiritu, Spiritu et ambulemus.
   26 Non efficiamur inanis gloriae cupidi, invicem provocantes, invicem invidentes.

King James Version

   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.
