Now this matter arose because of the false brothers with false pretenses who slipped in unnoticed to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, to make us slaves.

因为有偷着引进来的假弟兄，私下窥探我们在基督耶稣里的自由，要叫我们作奴仆。

因为有偷着混进来的假弟兄，暗中窥探我们在基督耶稣里拥有的自由，要使我们作奴隶，

因为有偷着混进来的假弟兄，暗中窥探我们在基督耶稣里拥有的自由，要使我们作奴隶，

事情的缘由是因为有一些假信徒偷偷混了进来，要窥探我们在基督耶稣里享有的自由，想叫我们做律法的奴隶。

这是因为有些混进来的假弟兄，暗暗地来侦查我们在基督耶稣里享有的自由，为的是要辖制我们。

其实提到这件事，是因着一些偷偷进来的假弟兄的缘故；他们混进来窥视我们在基督耶稣里所拥有的自由，为了要奴役我们。

因有私引之偽兄弟潛入、窺我儕於基督耶穌所得之自由、欲僕我儕、

有偽兄弟數人私入、窺我宗基督耶穌、而得自由、欲僕我、

此因彼私入教會之偽兄弟、私來窺我儕信耶穌基督而得之自由、欲使我為奴、

惟時頗有偽兄弟者、私自混入同道、蓄意偵伺吾人托庇耶穌基督所享之自由、欲引吾人復墮奴隸之域。

This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves.

This matter came up because some people had slipped in among us. They had pretended to be believers. They wanted to find out about the freedom we have because we belong to Christ Jesus. They wanted to make us slaves again.

Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in— who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery—

Even that question came up only because of some so called believers there— false ones, really— who were secretly brought in. They sneaked in to spy on us and take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus. They wanted to enslave us and force us to follow their Jewish regulations.

This matter arose because some false brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus in order to enslave us.

Yet it was a concern because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy on our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.

And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in( who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage),

and that because of the false brethren privily brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

This issue arose because of false brothers smuggled in, who came in secretly to spy on the freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.

And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,

For certain men have secretly slipped in among you– men who long ago were marked out for the condemnation I am about to describe– ungodly men who have turned the grace of our God into a license for evil and who deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery.

I have been on journeys many times, in dangers from rivers, in dangers from robbers, in dangers from my own countrymen, in dangers from Gentiles, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers at sea, in dangers from false brothers,

Since we have heard that some have gone out from among us with no orders from us and have confused you, upsetting your minds by what they said,

For you put up with it if someone makes slaves of you, if someone exploits you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone behaves arrogantly toward you, if someone strikes you in the face.

Now some men came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers,“ Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

I wish those agitators would go so far as to castrate themselves!For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to indulge your flesh, but through love serve one another.

So also we, when we were minors, were enslaved under the basic forces of the world.

Now Hagar represents Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom.

Now before faith came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners until the coming faith would be revealed.Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith.But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith.

Let me again experience the joy of your deliverance! Sustain me by giving me the desire to obey!

But now that you have come to know God( or rather to be known by God), how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless basic forces? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?You are observing religious days and months and seasons and years.

I will put it into the hand of your tormentors who said to you,‘ Lie down, so we can walk over you.’ You made your back like the ground, and like the street for those who walked over you.”

What I am saying with this boastful confidence I do not say the way the Lord would. Instead it is, as it were, foolishness.

Then Jesus said to those Judeans who had believed him,“ If you continue to follow my teaching, you are really my disciplesand you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”“ We are descendants of Abraham,” they replied,“ and have never been anyone’s slaves! How can you say,‘ You will become free’?”Jesus answered them,“ I tell you the solemn truth, everyone who practices sin is a slave of sin.The slave does not remain in the family forever, but the son remains forever.So if the son sets you free, you will be really free.

Live as free people, not using your freedom as a pretext for evil, but as God’s slaves.

Even from among your own group men will arise, teaching perversions of the truth to draw the disciples away after them.

Although these false teachers promise such people freedom, they themselves are enslaved to immorality. For whatever a person succumbs to, to that he is enslaved.

I am confident in the Lord that you will accept no other view. But the one who is confusing you will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.

But false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. These false teachers will infiltrate your midst with destructive heresies, even to the point of denying the Master who bought them. As a result, they will bring swift destruction on themselves.And many will follow their debauched lifestyles. Because of these false teachers, the way of truth will be slandered.

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry,“ Abba, Father.”

For some of these insinuate themselves into households and captivate weak women who are overwhelmed with sins and led along by various passions.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to determine if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

I will be secure, for I seek your precepts.
