- Kapitel 5 -

1
Messiah set us free from the law so that it may control us no longer. So stop anyone who says you are still slaves to the law, and do not let the law control you like slaves again.
2
Consider very carefully what I, Paul, an apostle, now tell you. If you let anyone circumcise you, what Messiah has done for you will not help you at all!
3
Once again I solemnly declare to every man whom they have circumcised, that he must obey the law perfectly, for God to declare him good in his sight.
4
If you expect God to declare you good in his sight because you try to keep the law, you have separated yourself from Messiah; God will no longer act kindly toward you.
5
We whom God’s Spirit enables us to trust in Messiah are confidently waiting for the time when God will declare us good in His sight.
6
God is not concerned whether we are circumcised or not circumcised. Instead, God is concerned about whether we trust in Messiah, with the result that we love others because we trust in him.
7
You were following Messiah so well! Who stopped you from obeying his true message?
8
God, the one who chose you, is not the one who is persuading you to think like this!
9
This false teaching that someone is teaching you is in danger of spreading to all of you, just like a little yeast in the dough causes it all to swell up.
10
I am certain that the Lord Jesus will keep you from believing in anything else except his true good news. God will certainly punish anyone who is confusing you by teaching this false message, whoever he is.
11
But, my fellow believers, maybe someone is saying that I still teach that you must let them circumcise you. I certainly taught that before I followed Messiah, but I am not teaching that any longer. But what they are saying cannot be true; otherwise, no one would be persecuting me now. No, I tell you that if people think they have to be circumcised to follow Messiah, then the fact that Messiah died on the cross no longer makes any difference to them.
12
I wish that those who are confusing you would go all the way and castrate themselves!
13
My fellow believers, God has called you to set you free. But do not think he set you free so you could sin. Instead, love and serve each other, because you are now free to do that!
14
Remember something that Jesus said. He said all the law means this: “Love each person like you love yourself.”
15
So if you attack and harm each other like wild animals, you might completely destroy each other.

Walking by the Spirit

(Ezekiel 36:16–38; Romans 8:9–11)
16
So I tell you this: Always let God’s Spirit lead you. If you do that, you will not sin, as normal human beings want to do.
17
When you want to sin, you go against God’s Spirit. And God’s Spirit goes against what normal humans want. These two are always fighting against each other. The result is that you do not always do the good things that you truly desire to do.
18
But when God’s Spirit leads you, the law does not control you.
19
Now what normal human beings want to do is easy to see. They commit evil sexual actions, sexual actions that even go against what is natural, and they desire things that are against good laws.
20
They also worship false gods and things that represent those gods. They try to get evil spirits to act for them. People are hostile to others. People quarrel with each other. People are jealous. People behave angrily. People try to get others to think highly of them and do not consider what others want. People do not associate with others. People associate only with those who agree with them.
21
People want what others have. People get drunk. People get drunk and riot. And they do other things like these. I warn you now, just like I warned you previously, that the ones who constantly act and think like this will not receive what God has for his own people when he reveals himself to everyone as king.
22
But as we grow in trusting Messiah, God’s Spirit starts causing us to love others. We are joyful. We are peaceful. We are patient. We are kind. We are good. We are ones whom others can trust.
23
We are gentle. We control our behavior. There is no law that says people should not think and act in such ways.
24
Furthermore, we who belong to Messiah Jesus have stopped allowing ourselves to do the evil things that we did in the past. It is as though we had nailed them to a cross and killed these evil things!
25
Since God’s Spirit has enabled us to live in a new way, we should behave as the Spirit leads us.
26
We should not be proud about ourselves. We should not make each other angry. We should not envy each other.

Christliche Freiheit

1
Seid standhaft, und lasset euch nicht wieder unter das Joch der Knechtschaft zwingen!
2
Sehet, ich Paulus sage euch: Wenn ihr euch beschneiden lasset, so wird Christus euch nichts nützen.
3
Ich bezeuge es noch einmal jedem Menschen, der sich beschneiden lässt: er ist schuldig, das ganze Gesetz zu erfüllen.
4
Ihr habt keinen Teil mehr an Christus, wenn ihr durch das Gesetz wollt gerechtfertigt werden; ihr seid der Gnade verlustig gegangen.
5
Denn wir erwarten im Geiste aus dem Glauben die Hoffnung der Gerechtigkeit.
6
In Christus Jesus vermag ja weder Beschneidung etwas, noch Unbeschnittensein, sondern der Glaube, der durch die Liebe wirksam ist.

Liebe erfüllt das Gesetz

7
Ihr waret in gutem Laufe, wer hat euch aufgehalten, der Wahrheit nicht zu gehorchen?
8
Diese Überredung kommt nicht von dem, der euch beruft.
9
Ein wenig Sauerteig zersetzt die ganze Masse.
10
Ich habe das Vertrauen zu euch im Herrn, dass ihr nicht anders gesinnt sein werdet; wer euch aber irre macht, wird sein Urteil tragen, wer es auch sein mag.
11
Wenn ich aber, Brüder! noch die Beschneidung predigte, warum leide ich dann noch Verfolgung? So ist ja das Ärgernis des Kreuzes abgetan!
12
Möchten doch die, welche euch irre machen, auch abgeschnitten werden!
13
Denn ihr seid zur Freiheit berufen, Brüder! nur gebrauchet die Freiheit nicht zum Anlasse für das Fleisch, sondern dienet einander durch die Liebe des Geistes.
14
Denn das ganze Gesetz wird durch das eine Wort erfüllt: Du sollst deinen Nächsten lieben wie dich selbst.
15
Wenn ihr aber einander beißet und esset, sehet zu, dass ihr euch nicht gegenseitig aufzehret.

Im Geist wandeln

(Hesekiel 36,16-38; Römer 8,9-11)
16
Ich sage aber: Wandelt im Geiste, so werdet ihr die Gelüste des Fleisches nicht vollbringen.
17
Denn das Fleisch begehrt wider den Geist, der Geist aber wider das Fleisch; denn diese widerstreben einander, damit ihr nicht das tuet, was ihr wollt.
18
Wenn ihr aber durch den Geist geleitet werdet, so seid ihr nicht mehr unter dem Gesetze.
19
Offenkundig sind die Werke des Fleisches, welche sind: Unzucht, Unlauterkeit, Unschamhaftigkeit, Unkeuschheit,
20
Götzendienst, Zauberei, Feindschaft, Streitigkeiten, Eifersucht, Zorn, Hader, Zerwürfnisse, Spaltungen,
21
Missgunst, Mordtaten, Trunkenheit, Schwelgerei, und diesen ähnliches, wovon ich euch voraussage, wie ich es schon ehedem gesagt habe, dass die, welche solches tun, das Reich Gottes nicht erlangen werden.
22
Die Frucht des Geistes aber ist: Liebe, Freude, Friede, Geduld, Milde, Güte, Langmut,
23
Sanftmut, Treue, Bescheidenheit, Enthaltsamkeit, Keuschheit; gegen dergleichen ist das Gesetz nicht.
24
Die aber, welche Christus angehören, haben ihr Fleisch gekreuzigt, samt Leidenschaften und Begierlichkeiten.
25
Wenn wir im Geiste leben, lasset uns auch im Geiste wandeln.
26
Lasset uns nicht lüstern sein nach eitler Ehre, so dass wir einander herausfordern, einander beneiden!
