¹Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

¹Til Friheden har Kristus frigjort os. Så står nu fast, og lader eder ikke atter holde under Trældoms Åg!

²Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

²Se, jeg, Paulus, siger eder, at dersom I lade eder omskære, vil Kristus intet gavne eder.

³Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

³Men jeg vidner atter for hvert Menneske, som lader sig omskære, at han er skyldig at opfylde hele Loven.

⁴You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

⁴I ere tabte for Kristus, I, som retfærdiggøres ved Loven; I ere faldne ud af Nåden.

⁵For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

⁵Vi vente jo ved Ånden af Tro Retfærdigheds Håb.

⁶For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

⁶Thi i Kristus Jesus gælder hverken Omskærelse eller Forhud noget, men Tro, som er virksom ved Kærlighed.

⁷You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

⁷I vare godt på Vej; hvem har hindret eder i at adlyde Sandhed?

⁸This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

⁸Den Overtalelse kom ikke fra ham, som kaldte eder.

⁹A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

⁹En liden Surdejg syrer hele Dejgen.

¹⁰I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

¹⁰Jeg har den Tillid til eder i Herren, at I ikke ville mene noget andet; men den, som forvirrer eder, skal bære sin Dom, hvem han end er.

¹¹But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

¹¹Men jeg, Brødre! dersom jeg endnu prædiker Omskærelse, hvor for forfølges jeg da endnu? Så er jo Korsets Forargelse gjort til intet.

¹²I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.

¹²Gid de endog måtte lemlæste sig selv, de, som forstyrre eder!

¹³For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

¹³I bleve jo kaldede til Frihed, Brødre! kun at I ikke bruge Friheden til en Anledning for Kødet, men værer ved Kærligheden hverandres Tjenere!

¹⁴For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Leviticus 19:18

¹⁴Thi hele Loven er opfyldt i eet Ord, i det: "Du skal elske din Næste som dig selv."

¹⁵But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.

¹⁵Men når I bide og æde hverandre, da ser til, at I ikke fortæres af hverandre!

¹⁶But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.

¹⁶Men jeg siger: Vandrer efter Ånden, så fuldbyrde I ingenlunde Kødets Begæring.

¹⁷For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

¹⁷Thi Kødet begærer imod Ånden, og Ånden imod Kødet; disse stå nemlig hinanden imod,for at I ikke skulle gøre, hvad I have Lyst til.

¹⁸But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

¹⁸Men når I drives af Ånden, ere I ikke under Loven.

¹⁹Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

¹⁹Men Kødets Gerninger ere åbenbare, såsom: Utugt, Urenhed, Uterlighed,

²⁰idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

²⁰Afgudsdyrkelse,Trolddom,Fjendskaber, Kiv, Nid, Hidsighed, Rænker, Tvedragt, Partier,

²¹envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

²¹Avind, Drukkenskab, Svir og deslige; hvorom jeg forud siger eder, ligesom jeg også før har sagt, at de, som øve sådanne Ting, skulle ikke arve Guds Rige.

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, or, faithfulness

²²Men Åndens Frugt er Kærlighed, Glæde, Fred, Langmodighed, Mildhed, Godhed, Trofasthed,

²³gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

²³Sagtmodighed, Afholdenhed Imod sådanne er Loven ikke,

²⁴Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

²⁴men de, som høre Kristus Jesus til, have korsfæstet Kødet med dets Lidenskaber og Begæringer.

²⁵If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.

²⁵Når vi leve ved Ånden, da lader os også vandre efter Ånden!

²⁶Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

²⁶Lader os ikke have Lyst til tom Ære, så at vi udæske hverandre og bære Avind imod hverandre.
