NASB: For you were called to freedom, brethren; only [do] not [turn] your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. (NASB ©1995) GWT: You were indeed called to be free, brothers and sisters. Don't turn this freedom into an excuse for your corrupt nature to express itself. Rather, serve each other through love. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. ASV: For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another. BBE: Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another. DBY: For ye have been called to liberty, brethren; only do not turn liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another. WEY: You however, brethren, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an excuse for giving way to your lower natures; but become bondservants to one another in a spirit of love. WBS: For, brethren, ye have been called to liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. WEB: For 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. YLT: For ye -- to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another, | |
