GALATIANS 5 Flashcards
Τῇ ἐλευθερίᾳ
for freedom’s sake
ἡμᾶς Χριστὸς ἠλευθέρωσεν·
Christ has set us free
στήκετε οὖν
stand firm then
καὶ μὴ πάλιν…ἐνέχεσθε
and do not be subjected (once) again
ζυγῷ δουλείας
to a yoke of slavery
Ἴδε ἐγὼ Παῦλος λέγω ὑμῖν
Look, I, Paul, am telling you
ὅτι ἐὰν περιτέμνησθε,
that if you are circumcised (retain passive sense, these people will become circumcised, they are not already circumcised)
Χριστὸς ὑμᾶς οὐδὲν ὠφελήσει
then Christ will not be of use to you
μαρτύρομαι δὲ πάλιν
and I testify again
παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ περιτεμνομένῳ
to every man that is circumcised
ὅτι ὀφειλέτης ἐστὶν ὅλον τὸν νόμον ποιῆσαι.
that he is obligated to do the whole law
οἵτινες ἐν νόμῳ δικαιοῦσθε,
you who are justified by the law
κατηργήθητε ἀπὸ Χριστοῦ,
(you have been) estranged from Christ
τῆς χάριτος ἐξεπέσατε
you are fallen away from grace/gift.
ἡμεῖς…ἐλπίδα δικαιοσύνης ἀπεκδεχόμεθα.
we are eagerly awaiting the hope of righteousness
πνεύματι ἐκ πίστεως
through the Spirit, on the basis of faith
ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ οὔτε περιτομή…οὔτε ἀκροβυστία …
for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision (lit. foreskin)
τι ἰσχύει
counts for anything
ἀλλὰ πίστις δι᾽ ἀγάπης ἐνεργουμένη.
but faith working through love
Ἐτρέχετε καλῶς·
you were progressing well
τίς ὑμᾶς ἐνέκοψεν
who kept you
[τῇ] ἀληθείᾳ μὴ πείθεσθαι;
from obeying the truth?
ἡ πεισμονὴ οὐκ ἐκ τοῦ καλοῦντος ὑμᾶς.
the persuasion does not come from the one who calls you
μικρὰ ζύμη
a small bit of yeast
ὅλον τὸ φύραμα ζυμοῖ.
leavens the whole batch of dough
ἐγὼ πέποιθα εἰς ὑμᾶς ἐν κυρίῳ
I am confident about you in the Lord
ὅτι οὐδὲν ἄλλο φρονήσετε·
that you will not think otherwise
ὁ δὲ ταράσσων ὑμᾶς
but whoever it is who is troubling you
βαστάσει τὸ κρίμα,
will carry the judgement
ὅστις ἐὰν ᾖ
whoever he might be
Ἐγὼ δέ, ἀδελφοί, εἰ περιτομὴν ἔτι κηρύσσω,
and I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision
τί ἔτι διώκομαι;
then why am I still being persecuted?
ἄρα κατήργηται τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ.
in that case, the offence of the cross has been abolished
Ὄφελον καὶ ἀποκόψονται οἱ ἀναστατοῦντες ὑμᾶς.
would that the agitators castrate themselves
Ὑμεῖς γὰρ ἐπ᾽ ἐλευθερίᾳ ἐκλήθητε, ἀδελφοί·
For you are called for the purpose of freedom, brothers
μόνον μὴ τὴν ἐλευθερίαν
only not freedom
εἰς ἀφορμὴν τῇ σαρκί,
as an opportunity for the flesh
ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς ἀγάπης δουλεύετε ἀλλήλοις.
but serve one another through love
