< 加拉太書 6 >
1 弟兄們,若有人偶然被過犯所勝,你們屬靈的人就當用溫柔的心把他挽回過來;又當自己小心,恐怕也被引誘。
Brothers, even if someone is caught in some wrongdoing, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also are not tempted.
2 你們各人的重擔要互相擔當,如此,就完全了基督的律法。
Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.
For if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 各人應當察驗自己的行為;這樣,他所誇的就專在自己,不在別人了,
But let each one test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.
For every person will bear his own load.
But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.
7 不要自欺,上帝是輕慢不得的。人種的是甚麼,收的也是甚麼。
Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a person sows, that he will also reap.
8 順着情慾撒種的,必從情慾收敗壞;順着聖靈撒種的,必從聖靈收永生。 (aiōnios )
For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap everlasting life. (aiōnios )
9 我們行善,不可喪志;若不灰心,到了時候就要收成。
Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up.
10 所以,有了機會就當向眾人行善,向信徒一家的人更當這樣。
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do what is good toward all people, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.
See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
12 凡希圖外貌體面的人都勉強你們受割禮,無非是怕自己為基督的十字架受逼迫。
As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 他們那些受割禮的,連自己也不守律法;他們願意你們受割禮,不過要藉着你們的肉體誇口。
For even they who receive circumcision do not keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
14 但我斷不以別的誇口,只誇我們主耶穌基督的十字架;因這十字架,就我而論,世界已經釘在十字架上;就世界而論,我已經釘在十字架上。
But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 受割禮不受割禮都無關緊要,要緊的就是作新造的人。
For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
16 凡照此理而行的,願平安、憐憫加給他們,和上帝的以色列民。
As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God's Israel.
17 從今以後,人都不要攪擾我,因為我身上帶着耶穌的印記。
From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body.
18 弟兄們,願我主耶穌基督的恩常在你們心裏。阿們!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
