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

¹Za svobodo nas je Kristus osvobodil; stojte torej trdno in ne vprezite se zopet v jarem sužnosti.

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

²Glejte, jaz Pavel vam pravim: ako sprejmete obrezo, vam Kristus ne bo nič pomagal.

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

³A pričam zopet vsakemu človeku, ki se obreže, da je dolžen celo postavo izpolniti.

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

⁴Ločeni ste od Kristusa, katerikoli se po postavi hočete opravičiti, iz milosti ste padli.

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

⁵Mi namreč po Duhu na podlagi vere čakamo upanja pravičnosti.

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

⁶Kajti v Kristusu Jezusu nič ne koristi ne obreza niti neobreza, ampak vera, ki deluje po ljubezni.

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

⁷Tekli ste dobro; kdo vas je ustavil, da niste resnici pokorni?

⁸This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

⁸To pregovarjanje ni od tega, ki vas kliče.

⁹A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

⁹Malo kvasu skisa vse testo.

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.

¹⁰Jaz se zanašam na vas v Gospodu, da ne boste nič drugega mislili; kdor pa vas moti, bo svojo obsodbo nosil, bodisi kdorkoli.

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

¹¹Ali, bratje, če jaz obrezo še oznanjam, zakaj me še preganjajo? Saj je potem odpravljeno pohujšanje križa.

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

¹²O da bi se sami odrezali tisti, kateri vas v zmešnjavo zavajajo!

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.

¹³Kajti vi ste poklicani na svobodo, bratje; samo naj svoboda ne bode za priložnost mesu, temuč po ljubezni služite drug drugemu.

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

¹⁴Zakaj vsa postava se izpolnjuje v eni besedi, v tejle: „Ljubi bližnjega svojega kakor samega sebe“.

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

¹⁵Če pa drug drugega grizete in ujedate, gledite, da drug drugega ne iztrebite.

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

¹⁶Pravim pa: Po Duhu živite, in poželenja mesa ne boste izpolnjevali.

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.

¹⁷Kajti meso želi zoper Duha, a Duh zoper meso; ta sta namreč nasprotna drug drugemu, da ne delate, kar hočete.

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

¹⁸Če se pa daste Duhu voditi, niste pod postavo.

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

¹⁹Očitna so pa dela mesa, katera so: prešeštvo, nečistost, pohotnost,

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

²⁰malikovalstvo, čarodejstvo, sovraštvo, prepiri, zavist, maščevanje, svade, razprtije, razkolništva,

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.

²¹nevoščljivosti, ubojstva, pijanstvo, požrešnost in kar je temu podobnega; o čemer vam naprej pravim, kakor sem tudi naprej povedal, da tisti, ki to delajo, ne bodo podedovali kraljestva Božjega.

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

²²Sad Duha je pa ljubezen, radost, mir, potrpežljivost, prijaznost, dobrotljivost, zvestost,

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

²³krotkost, zdržljivost; zoper take ni postave.

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

²⁴Kateri so pa Kristusovi Jezusovi, so meso na križ razpeli s slami in željami.

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

²⁵Če živimo po Duhu, po Duhu tudi ravnajmo.Ne iščimo prazne slave, da ne dražimo drug drugega, da nismo drug drugemu nevoščljivi.

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

²⁶Ne iščimo prazne slave, da ne dražimo drug drugega, da nismo drug drugemu nevoščljivi.
