< 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 anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness, paying attention to yoʋrself so that yoʋ too are not tempted.
2 Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Bear one another's burdens, and in this way fulfill the law of Christ.
3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
For if anyone thinks that he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives 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 each person should test his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.
5 For each one should carry his own load.
For each person will bear his own load.
6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.
Now the one who is instructed in the word must share all good things with the one who instructs him.
7 Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.
Do not be misled: God is not mocked. A person reaps what he sows.
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)
For he who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but he who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. (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.
So let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, and especially to those of the household of faith.
11 See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!
See what large letters I am using as I write 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.
It is those who want to make a good appearance in the flesh who compel you to be circumcised, but only so that they may not be persecuted for 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.
For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about 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, 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.
15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.
For in Christ Jesus neither does circumcision have any significance, nor uncircumcision, but what matters is whether we become a new creation.
16 Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.
As for all who follow this standard, peace and mercy be upon them 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.
From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus on my body.
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. Amen.
