5:1 Don’t let the law destroy your faith

5The messiah has freed us so we can have freedom, so stand firm and don’t get entangled again in the burden of slavery.

2What’s more, I Paul would add that even if you all got circumcised, then the messiah wouldn’t be of any benefit. 3I’ll say it again clearly, every man who’s circumcised has put themselves in debt to obeying all of the law. 4You were released from the messiah when you moved to trusting in the law in order to be right with God—you fell away from grace at that point. 5Because we who are in the spirit are eagerly waiting for the righteousness that we are expecting to receive by faith. 6Because in the messiah Yeshua, it’s not circumcision that achieves anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith worked out through love.

7You were all running the race so well—who held you back from believing the truth? 8It wasn’t the one who called you all. 9[ref]A little bit of yeast can make a whole loaf of bread rise. 10I am trusting in the master that you won’t be thinking anything different from the truth. The one who will bear the judgement is the one who has been confusing you, anyone who that was.

11But, brothers and sisters, if I was still preaching the Jewish rules, why would I still be being persecuted. If I was still preaching that, then mentioning about dying on a stake wouldn’t even be offensive. 12I wish that the ones upsetting you all by suggesting cutting off bits, would cut it all off.

13Brothers and sisters, you were called into freedom. That doesn’t mean that you should use the freedom to do whatever your minds desire, but rather to be serving each other in love. 14[ref]Because the entire law can be fulfilled by obeying one rule: Love your neighbour like yourself. 15But if you’re all snapping at and bullying each other, watch out or else you’ll destroy each other’s faith.

5The in_freedom, chosen_one/messiah freed us, therefore be_standing_firm, and not be_being_entangled again in_a_yoke of_slavery.
2Behold, I Paulos am_saying to_you_all that if you_all _may_be_being_circumcised, chosen_one/messiah will_be_benefiting you_all nothing.
3And I_am_testifying again to_every man being_circumcised that he_is a_debtor, to_perform all the law.
4You_all_were_released from chosen_one/messiah, whoever in the_law are_being_justified, from_the grace you_all_fell_from.
5For/Because we by_the_spirit by faith are_eagerly_waiting the_hope of_righteousness.
6For/Because in chosen_one/messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is_prevailing anything, but faith working through love.
7You_all_were_running well, who hindered you_all, to_ not _be_being_persuaded by_the_truth?
8The persuasion is not of the one calling you_all.
9A_little leaven is_leavening the whole lump.
10I have_trusted in you_all in the_master that you_all_will_be_thinking not_one other thing.
But the one disturbing you_all, will_be_bearing the judgment, whoever if he_may_be.
11But I, brothers, if I_am_proclaiming circumcision still, why still /am_I_being_persecuted?
Consequently the offense of_the stake has_been_nullified.
12I_wish the ones upsetting you_all will_ also _be_cutting_off themselves.
13For/Because you_all were_called for freedom, brothers, only not use the freedom for an_opportunity to_the flesh, but through the love be_serving for_one_another.
14For/Because the whole law has_been_fulfilled in one message, in that:
You_will_be_loving the neighbor of_you as yourself.
15But if you_all_are_biting one_another and you_all_are_devouring, be_watching_out, lest you_all_may_be_consumed_up by one_another.

5:16 Being led by God’s spirit

16I’ll tell you: allow yourselves to be led by the spirit and then your earthly desires won’t triumph. 17[ref]Because our earthly desires oppose the spirit, and the spirit opposes our earthly desires—they oppose each other so that’s why you end up doing things that you didn’t really want to do. 18But if you are being led by the spirit then you’re not trying to earn your way to God by obeying all of Mosheh’ rules.

19The actions that come from our earthly desires include: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20idolatry, sorcery, hostility, strife, jealousies, rages, selfish ambitions, arguing, divisions, 21envy, drunkenness, carousing, and other similar things which I’ve mentioned previously. And as I also said previously, the people that do these things won’t be inheriting God’s kingdom.

22But the end result of having God’s spirit is to show love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23gentleness, and self-controlthere’s no law of Mosheh against any of these! 24And for the followers of the messiah Yeshua, earthly desires need to be executed on a stake along with their passions and lusts. 25If we’re being led by God’s spirit in our living, then we should also be aligning our values by the spirit. 26We have to take care not to become conceited, not to provoke each other, and not to envy each other.


16But I_am_saying, be_walking by_the_spirit, and by_no_means may_ not _accomplish the_desire of_the_flesh.
17For/Because the flesh is_desiring against the spirit, and the the_spirit against the flesh, because/for these is_opposing to_one_another, in_order_that whatever things if you_all _may_ not _be_wanting, you_all_may_be_doing these things.
18But if you_all_are_being_led by_the_spirit, you_all_are not under the_law.
19And manifest is the works of_the flesh, which is sexual_immorality, impurity, wantonness, 20idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, rages, selfish_ambitions, dissensions, sects, 21envies, drunkennesses, carousings, and the similar things to_these, which I_am_previously_saying to_you_all, as I_previously_said, that the ones the such things doing, will_ not _be_inheriting the_kingdom of_god.
22But the fruit of_the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23gentleness, self-control, against the such things, there_is no law.
24And the ones of_ the _chosen_one/messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), executed_on_a_stake the flesh with its passions and the desires.
25If we_are_living by_the_spirit, we _may_ also _be_aligning by_the_spirit.
26We _may_ not _be_becoming conceited, provoking one_another, envying to_one_another.
