Galatians 5

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.	1 Hac libertate nos Christus liberavit; state igitur et nolite iterum iugoservitutis detineri.
2 It is I, Paul, who am telling you that if you have yourselves circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.	2 Ecce ego Paulus dico vobis quoniam, si circumcidamini,Christus vobis nihil proderit.
3 Once again I declare to every man who has himself circumcised that he is bound to observe the entire law.	3 Testificor autem rursum omni hominicircumcidenti se quoniam debitor est universae legis faciendae.
4 You are separated from Christ, you who are trying to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.	4 Evacuati estisa Christo, qui in lege iustificamini, a gratia excidistis.
5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we await the hope of righteousness.	5 Nos enim Spiritu exfide spem iustitiae exspectamus.
6 For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.	6 Nam in Christo Iesu neque circumcisio aliquidvalet neque praeputium, sed fides, quae per caritatem operatur.
7 You were running well; who hindered you from following (the) truth?	7 Currebatis bene; quis vos impedivit veritati non oboedire?
8 That enticement does not come from the one who called you.	8 Haec persuasionon est ex eo, qui vocat vos.
9 A little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough.	9 Modicum fermentum totam massam corrumpit.
10 I am confident of you in the Lord that you will not take a different view, and that the one who is troubling you will bear the condemnation, whoever he may be.	10 Egoconfido in vobis in Domino, quod nihil aliud sapietis; qui autem conturbat vos,portabit iudicium, quicumque est ille.
11 As for me, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case, the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.	11 Ego autem, fratres, si circumcisionemadhuc praedico, quid adhuc persecutionem patior? Ergo evacuatum est scandalumcrucis.
12 Would that those who are upsetting you might also castrate themselves!	12 Utinam et abscidantur, qui vos conturbant!
13 For you were called for freedom, brothers. But do not use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh; rather, serve one another through love.	13 Vos enim in libertatem vocati estis, fratres; tantum ne libertatem inoccasionem detis carni, sed per caritatem servite invicem.
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."	14 Omnis enim lex in uno sermone impletur, in hoc: Diliges proximum tuum sicutteipsum.
15 But if you go on biting and devouring one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.	15 Quod si invicem mordetis et devoratis, videte, ne ab invicemconsumamini!
16 I say, then: live by the Spirit and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh.	16 Dico autem: Spiritu ambulate et concupiscentiam carnis ne perfeceritis.
17 For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you want.	17 Caro enim concupiscit adversus Spiritum, Spiritus autem adversus carnem; haecenim invicem adversantur, ut non, quaecumque vultis, illa faciatis.
18 But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.	18 Quod siSpiritu ducimini, non estis sub lege.
19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness,	19 Manifesta autem sunt opera carnis, quaesunt fornicatio, immunditia, luxuria,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions,	20 idolorum servitus, veneficia,inimicitiae, contentiones, aemulationes, irae, rixae, dissensiones, sectae,
21 occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.	21 invidiae, ebrietates, comissationes et his similia; quae praedico vobis, sicutpraedixi, quoniam, qui talia agunt, regnum Dei non consequentur.
22 In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,	22 Fructusautem Spiritus est caritas, gaudium, pax, longanimitas, benignitas, bonitas,fides,
23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.	23 mansuetudo, continentia; adversus huiusmodi non est lex.
24 Now those who belong to Christ (Jesus) have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.	24 Qui autemsunt Christi Iesu, carnem crucifixerunt cum vitiis et concupiscentiis.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.	25 Sivivimus Spiritu, Spiritu et ambulemus.
26 Let us not be conceited, provoking one another, envious of one another.	26 Non efficiamur inanis gloriae cupidi, invicem provocantes, inviceminvidentes.
