< Galatians 6 >
1 Brethren, if even a man be taken in some fault, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself lest thou also be tempted.
Brothers, if a man is actually caught in some wrongdoing, you, the spiritual ones, should restore him in a spirit of gentleness, watching out for yourself lest you also be tempted.
2 Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfil the law of the Christ.
Bear one another's heavy burdens, and so fulfill the law of the Christ.
3 For if any man reputes himself to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself;
For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 but let each prove his own work, and then he will have his boast in what belongs to himself alone, and not in what belongs to another.
Let each one test his own work, and then do his ‘boasting’ only within himself, never to someone else.
5 For each shall bear his own burden.
For each one must carry his own normal load.
6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teaches in all good things.
Let him who is taught the Word share all good things with him who teaches.
7 Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatever a man shall sow, that also shall he reap.
Do not be deceived, God does not allow Himself to be treated with contempt; because whatever a man sows, that he will also reap
8 For he that sows to his own flesh, shall reap corruption from the flesh; but he that sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit shall reap eternal life: (aiōnios )
—he who sows to his own flesh will reap deterioration from that flesh; he who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from that Spirit. (aiōnios )
9 but let us not lose heart in doing good; for in due time, if we do not faint, we shall reap.
Let us not lose heart while doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up.
10 So then, as we have occasion, let us do good towards all, and specially towards those of the household of faith.
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do what is good toward everyone, but especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.
11 See how long a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand.
12 As many as desire to have a fair appearance in [the] flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ.
Those who want to make a good showing in the flesh are pressuring you to be circumcised, but only so as not to be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 For neither do they that are circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
For not even those who are circumcised keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
14 But far be it from me to boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom [the] world is 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 [in Christ Jesus] neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision; but new creation.
Because in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.
16 And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
Now as for those who conform to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
17 For the rest let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.
Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the brand marks of the Lord Jesus.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
