Galatians 6
1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
Brothers, if a man is taken in any wrongdoing, you who are of the Spirit will put such a one right in a spirit of love; keeping watch on yourself, for fear that you yourself may be tested.
2 Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.
3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
For if a man has an idea that he is something when he is nothing, he is tricked by himself.
4 Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.
But let every man make test of his work, and then will his cause for glory be in himself only, and not in his neighbour.
5 For each one should carry his own load.
Because every man is responsible for his part of the work.
6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.
But let him who gets teaching in the word give a part in all good things to his teacher.
7 Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.
Be not tricked; God is not made sport of: for whatever seed a man puts in, that will he get back as grain.
8 The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Because he who puts in the seed of the flesh will of the flesh get the reward of death; but he who puts in the seed of the Spirit will of the Spirit get the reward of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
9 Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
And let us not get tired of well-doing; for at the right time we will get in the grain, if we do not give way to weariness.
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.
So then, as we have the chance, let us do good to all men, and specially to those who are of the family of the faith.
11 See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!
See the size of the handwriting which I myself have made use of in writing to you.
12 Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.
Those who have the desire to seem important in the flesh, put force on you to undergo circumcision; only that they may not be attacked because of the cross of Christ.
13 For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
Because even those who undergo circumcision do not themselves keep the law; but they would have you undergo circumcision, so that they may have glory in your flesh.
14 But as for me, may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it.
15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.
For having circumcision is nothing, and not having circumcision is nothing, but only a new order of existence.
16 Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.
And on all who are guided by this rule be peace and mercy, and on the Israel of God.
17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
From this time on let no man be a trouble to me; because my body is marked with the marks of Jesus.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. So be it.
