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.
Even if any one should be overtaken in a fault, brothers, you that are spiritual ought, in a gentle spirit, to restore such a one, each one of you looking to himself, lest you too be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another’s burdens; and so you shall fulfill the law of Christ.
Ever be bearing one another’s burdens, and so be fulfilling the law of Christ.
3 For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
If a man fancies himself to be somebody when he is really nobody he is deceiving himself.
4 But let every one prove his own work, and so he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another.
Let each one test his own work, and he will then have something to be proud of by comparing himself with himself, and not with any one else;
5 For every one shall bear his own burden.
for every one must carry his own pack load.
6 And let him that is instructed in the word, communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things.
He, however, who is being taught in the message, should always share with his instructor in all the good things which he possesses.
7 Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap.
Be not deceived. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.
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 man who is sowing to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption; but he who is sowing to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
9 And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing.
And let us not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.
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.
So then, as we have opportunity, let is do good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of faith.
11 See what a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
See with what large letters I have written to you in my own handwriting!
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 are trying to compel you to be circumcised are such as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, only that they may not suffer 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.
Even those who are being circumcised, are not themselves keeping the Law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may glory 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.
God forbid that I should glory in anything except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world has been crucified to me and I have been crucified to the world.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
For in Jesus Christ neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
16 And whosoever shall follow this rule, peace on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
On all who will govern their lives by this rule and on the Israel of God may peace and mercy rest.
17 From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me; for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body.
From this time forth let no one trouble me, for I bear branded in my body the marks of Jesus, my Master.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
