Galatians 6

1 Brethren, and if a man be overtaken in any fault, you, who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

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.

2 Bear ye one another’s burdens; and so you shall fulfill the law of Christ.

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

3 For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

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

4 But let every one prove his own work, and so he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another.

Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.

5 For every one shall bear his own burden.

For each one should carry his own load.

6 And let him that is instructed in the word, communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things.

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

7 Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap.

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

8 For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)

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)

9 And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing.

Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

10 Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

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

11 See what a letter I have written to you with my own hand.

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

12 For as many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ.

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.

13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised, keep the law; but they will have you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; by 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 circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

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

16 And whosoever shall follow this rule, peace on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

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

17 From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me; for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body.

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