Galatians 5 — TOJB
5Verse 1For this “zman cheruteinu” (Pesach Haggadah Kiddush), Moshiach freed us; stand fast, therefore, and be not again bound by an ol (yoke) of avdut (slavery).Verse 2Hinei, I Sha'ul say to you, that if you Goyim undergo the bris milah, Moshiach will profit you nothing.+Verse 3And I testify again to every one of you undergoing bris milah that such is chal (placed under obligation) to do the taryag mitzvot.Verse 4You who want to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM (justified with G-d) by [boasting in] chumra,+by ma'asim of Gezetz, are estranged from Moshiach, you at that point fall from the Chen v'Chesed Hashem.+Verse 5For we by the Ruach Hakodesh eagerly await by emunah that for which we have tikvah, our Tzidkat Hashem righteousness.Verse 6For in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua neither milah is of any force nor the lack of it, but emunah working through ahavah.+Verse 7You [Goyim] were running well: who hindered you from being persuaded by HaEmes?Verse 8This persuasion is not of the One calling you.Verse 9A little chametz leavens all habatzek (the dough).+Verse 10I have bitachon, (confidence) in you in Adoneinu that you will think nothing other, but the one troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.Verse 11But if I preach [to Goyim] the bris milah, Achim B'Moshiach, why am I still being persecuted? In that case, the michshol (stumbling block) of [Moshiachʼs] Etz+has been abolished.Verse 12O if the ones (the mohalim of Goyim) troubling you would castrate themselves!Verse 13For, Achim B'Moshiach, you were called for “zman Cheruteinu”;+only use not the Cherut for a pretext for the basar, but, through ahavah (agape), minister to one another as avadim (servants).Verse 14For the entire Torah has been summed up in one word: V'AHAVTA L'RE'ACHA KAMOCHA+(Love your neighbor as yourself).Verse 15But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another.Verse 16But I say, let your halakhah be by the Ruach HaKodesh, and by no means will you carry out the ta'avot (lusts) of the basar.Verse 17For the basar desires against the Ruach HaKodesh, and the Ruach HaKodesh desires against the basar — for these oppose each other — with the result that the things you wish you cannot do.+Verse 18But if by the Ruach HaKodesh you are led, you are not under Gezetz.Verse 19Now the ma'asei habasar are manifest, dehainu (being): zenut (fornication), tum'ah (impurity), zimmah (licentiousness),Verse 20Avodah zarah (idolatry), kashefanut (sorcery, witchcraft), eivot (enmities), merivah (strife), kinah (jealousy), rogez (anger), anochiyut (selfishness), machalokot (dissensions), kitot (sects),Verse 21Tzarut ayin (envyings), shichrut (drunkenness), holelut (carousing) and things like these, of which I tell you beforehand, as I said previously, that the ones practicing such things will not receive the nachalah (inheritance) of the Malchut Hashem.Verse 22But the p'ri of the Ruach HaKodesh is ahavah (agape), simcha (joy), shalom (peace), savlanut (patience), nedivut (generosity, kindness), chesed (loving-kindness), ne'emanut (faithfulness),Verse 23Anavah (meekness, shiflut, lowliness), shlitah atzmi (self-control)…would you not agree? — against these things there is no issur (proscription in the Torah).Verse 24But the ones who are mekabel Moshiach Yehoshua have put to be talui al HaEtz+(hanging on the Tree) the basar with its teshukot (desires) and its ta'avot (lusts).Verse 25If we live by the Ruach HaKodesh, we should stay in line with the Derech HaYashar (Straight Way) of the Ruach HaKodesh.Verse 26Let us not become ba'alei ga'avah (conceited, haughty persons), provoking one another, envying one another.
