5:1 基督释放了我们，叫我们得*，所以要站立得稳，不要再被奴仆的轭挟制。

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

5:2 我保罗告诉你们，若受割礼，基督就与你们无益了。

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

 

5:3 我再指着凡受割礼的人确实的说，他是欠着行全律法的债。

For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

 

5:4 你们这要靠律法称义的，是与基督隔绝，从恩典中坠落了。

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

 

5:5 我们靠着圣灵，凭着信心，等候所盼望的义。

For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

 

5:6 原来在基督耶稣里，受割礼不受割礼，全无功效。惟独使人生发仁爱的信心，才有功效。

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

 

5:7 你们向来跑得好。有谁拦阻你们，叫你们不顺从真理呢。

Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

 

5:8 这样的劝导，不是出于那召你们的。

This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.

 

5:9 一点面酵能使全团都发起来。

A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

 

5:10 我在主里很信你们必不怀别样的心，但搅扰你们的，无论是谁，必担当他的罪名。

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.

 

5:11 弟兄们，我若仍旧传割礼，为什么还受逼迫呢。若是这样，那十字架讨厌的地方就没有了。

And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.

 

5:12 恨不得那搅乱你们的人，把自己割绝了。

I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

 

5:13 弟兄们，你们蒙召，是要得*。只是不可将你们的*当作放纵情欲的机会。总要用爱心互相服事。

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

 

5:14 因为全律法都包在爱人如己这一句话之内了。

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

 

5:15 你们要谨慎。若相咬相吞，只怕要彼此消灭了。

But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

 

5:16 我说，你们当顺着圣灵而行，就不放纵肉体的情欲了。

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

 

5:17 因为情欲和圣灵相争，圣灵和情欲相争。这两个是彼此相敌，使你们不能作所愿意作的。

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.

 

5:18 但你们若被圣灵引导，就不在律法以下。

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

 

5:19 情欲的事，都是显而易见的。就如奸淫，污秽，邪荡，

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

 

5:20 拜偶像，邪术，仇恨，争竞，忌恨，恼怒，结党，纷争，异端，

Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

 

5:21 嫉妒，（有古卷在此有凶杀二字）醉酒，荒宴等类，我从前告诉你们，现在又告诉你们，行这样事的人，必不能承受神的国。

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.

 

5:22 圣灵所结的果子，就是仁爱，喜乐，和平，忍耐，恩慈，良善，信实，

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

 

5:23 温柔，节制。这样的事，没有律法禁止。

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

 

5:24 凡属基督耶稣的人，是已经把肉体，连肉体的邪情私欲，同钉在十字架上了。

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

 

5:25 我们若是靠圣灵得生，就当靠圣灵行事。

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

 

5:26 不要贪图虚名，彼此惹气，互相嫉妒。

Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
