< 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, even if someone is caught in some wrongdoing, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also are not tempted.
2 Bear ye one another’s burdens; and so you shall fulfill the law of Christ.
Bear one another's burdens, and so 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.
For if anyone thinks himself to be 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.
But let each one test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.
5 For every one shall bear his own burden.
For every person will bear his own load.
6 And let him that is instructed in the word, communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things.
But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.
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 mocked, for whatever a person sows, that he will 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 )
For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap everlasting life. (aiōnios )
9 And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing.
Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, 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.
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do what is good toward all people, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.
11 See what a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
See with what large letters I 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.
As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted 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 even they who receive circumcision do not keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you 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 far be it from me to 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 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.
As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God's Israel.
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 any trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body.
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.
