< 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.
My brethren, if one of you should be overtaken in a fault, do ye who are of the Spirit recover him, in a spirit of meekness: and be ye cautious, lest ye also be tempted.
2 Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
And bear ye one another's burdens, that so ye may fulfill the law of the Messiah.
3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
For if any one thinketh himself to be something, when he is not, 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 let a man examine his own conduct; and then his glorying will be within himself, and not in others.
5 For each one should carry his own load.
For every man must take up his own load.
6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.
And let him that heareth the word, communicate to him who instructeth 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.
Do not mistake; God is not deceived; for what a man soweth, that also will he 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)
He who soweth in the flesh, reapeth from the flesh corruption: and he who soweth in the Spirit, will from the Spirit reap life everlasting. (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 while we do what is good, let it not be wearisome to us; for the time will come when we shall reap, and it will not be tedious to us.
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.
Now, therefore, while we have the opportunity, let us practice good works towards all men, and especially towards them of the household of faith.
11 See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!
Behold, this epistle have I written to you 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.
They who are disposed to glory in the flesh, they urge you to become circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted on account of the cross of the Messiah.
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 themselves, who are circumcised, keep the law: but they wish you to become circumcised, that they may 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 as for me, let me not glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; by whom the world is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world.
15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.
For circumcision is nothing; neither is uncircumcision; but a new creation.
16 Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.
And they who press forward in this path, peace be on them, 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.
Henceforth let no one put trouble upon me; for I bear in my body the marks of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
My brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, be with your spirit. Amen.
