# For

Paul is giving the reason for his words in [Galatians 5:12](./12.md).

# you were called to freedom

This can be expressed in an active form. AT: "Christ has called you to freedom" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# you were called to freedom

It is implied that Christ has set believers free from the old covenant. Here freedom from the old covenant is a metaphor for not being obligated to obey it. AT: "You were called to freedom from the old covenant" or "Christ has chosen you to not be obligated to the old covenant"  (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# brothers

See how you translated this in [Galatians 1:2](../01/02.md).

# an opportunity for the sinful nature

The relationship between the opportunity and the sinful nature can be stated more clearly. AT: "an opportunity for you to behave according to your sinful nature" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
