Section 325
Original German
325 Indem die Aufopferung für die Individualität des Staates das substantielle Verhältniß Aller und hiermit allgemeine Pflicht ist, so wird es zugleich als die Eine Seite der Idealität gegen die Realität des besondern Bestehens, selbst zu einem besondern Verhältniß, und ihm ein eigener Stand, der Stand der Tapferkeit gewidmet.

325 Since the sacrifice for the individuality of the state is the substantial relation of all and hence a universal duty, it becomes at the same time, as the one side of ideality over against the reality of particular subsistence, itself a particular relation, and a special estate, the estate of bravery, is devoted to it.
Plain English translation
Independent machine-assisted Plain English translation made directly from the German first-edition source, not from the Musean edition or an existing English translation. Complete preface, introduction and sections 1–360 with the author's remarks and notes.
325 The sacrifice for the individuality of the state is the substantial relation of all and therefore a general duty. At the same time it is one side of ideality as set against the reality of particular existence, and so it becomes itself a particular relation. An estate of its own, the estate of bravery, is devoted to it.
