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.

Brethren! if a man should even be overtaken in any fault, ye, the spiritual, be restoring such a one, in a spirit of meekness, looking to thyself, lest, even thou, be put to the test.

2 Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

One another’s burdens, be ye bearing, and, so, fill up the law of the Christ.

3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

For, if any one thinketh he is something, when he is, nothing, he deceiveth 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, his own work, let each one be putting to the proof, and, then, for himself alone, the matter of boasting, shall he have, and not for some other,

5 For each one should carry his own load.

For, each one, his own proper load, shall bear: —

6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.

Howbeit, let him who is being orally instructed in the word, have fellowship with him that is so instructing him, in all good things.

7 Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.

Be not deceiving yourselves! God, is not to be mocked; for, whatsoever a man soweth, the same, shall he also reap, —

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 that soweth into his own flesh, out of the flesh, shall reap corruption, whereas, he that soweth into the Spirit, out of the Spirit, shall reap age-abiding 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, in doing that which is honourable, let us not be fainthearted; for, in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.

10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.

Hence, then, as we have opportunity, let us be working what is good, towards all, —but, especially, towards the family of the faith.

11 See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!

See! with what large letters, unto you, I have written, with my own hand: —

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.

As many as are wishing to make a good show in flesh, the same, are compelling you to get circumcised, —only that, for the cross of Christ [Jesus], they may not be suffering persecution!

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.

For, not even they who are getting circumcised, are, themselves, observing law, —but are wishing you to be circumcised, that, in your flesh, they may boast themselves.

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.

With me, however, far be it! to be boasting, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, —whereby, unto me, a world hath been crucified, and, I, unto a world;

15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.

For neither circumcision is anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; —

16 Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.

And, as many as, by this rule, shall walk, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

For the rest, annoyances, unto me, let no one be offering; for, I, the brandmarks of Jesus, in my body, am bearing.

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
