2Ecce ego Paulus dico vobis: quoniam si circumcidamini, Christus vobis nihil proderit.Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if you have been circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

3Testificor autem rursus omni homini circumcidenti se,For I again testify, about every man circumcising himself,quoniam debitor est universæ legis faciendæ.that he is obligated to act according to the entire law.

4Evacuati estis a Christo,You are being emptied of Christ,qui in lege justificamini:you who are being justified by the law.a gratia excidistis.You have fallen from grace.

5Nos enim spiritu ex fide,For in spirit, by faith,spem justitiæ exspectamus.we await the hope of justice.

6Nam in Christo Jesu neque circumcisio aliquid valet,For in Christ Jesus,neque præputium:neither circumcisionsed fides,nor uncircumcision prevails over anything,quæ per caritatem operatur.but only faith which works through charity.

7Currebatis bene:You have run well.quis vos impedivit veritati non obedire?So what has impeded you, that you would not obey the truth?

8persuasio hæc non est ex eo, qui vocat vos.This kind of influence is not from him who is calling you.

9Modicum fermentum totam massam corrumpit.A little leaven corrupts the whole mass.

10Ego confido in vobis in Domino,I have confidence in you, in the Lord,quod nihil aliud sapietis:that you will accept nothing of the kind.qui autem conturbat vos, portabit judicium,However, he who disturbs you shall bear the judgment,quicumque est ille.whomever he may be.

11Ego autem,And as for me,fratres,brothers,si circumcisionem adhuc prædico:if I still preach circumcision,quid adhuc persecutionem patior?why am I still suffering persecution?ergo evacuatum est scandalum crucis.For then the scandal of the Cross would be made empty.

12Utinam et abscindantur qui vos conturbant.And I wish that those who disturb you would be torn away.

13Vos enim in libertatem vocati estis,For you, brothers, have been called to liberty.fratres: tantum ne libertatem in occasionem detis carnis,Only you must not make liberty into an occasion for the flesh, but instead,sed per caritatem Spiritus servite invicem.serve one another through the charity of the Spirit.

14Omnis enim lex in uno sermone impletur:For the entire law is fulfilled by one word:Diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum.“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

15Quod si invicem mordetis,But if you biteet comeditis:and devour one another,videte ne ab invicem consumamini.be careful that you are not consumed by one another!

16Dico autem:So then, I say:Spiritu ambulate,Walk in the spirit,et desideria carnis non perficietis.and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.

17Caro enim concupiscit adversus spiritum,For the flesh desires against the spirit,spiritus autem adversus carnem:and the spirit against the flesh.hæc enim sibi invicem adversantur,And since these are against one another,ut non quæcumque vultis, illa faciatis.you may not do whatever you want.

18Quod si Spiritu ducimini,But if you are led by the Spirit,non estis sub lege.you are not under the law.

19Manifesta sunt autem opera carnis,Now the works of the flesh are manifest;quæ sunt fornicatio,they are: fornication, lust,immunditia,homosexuality,impudicitia, luxuria,self-indulgence,

25Si Spiritu vivimus,If we live by the Spirit,Spiritu et ambulemus.we should also walk by the Spirit.

26Non efficiamur inanis gloriæ cupidi,Let us not become desirous of empty glory,invicem provocantes,provoking one another,invicem invidentes.envying one another.
