< Galatians 6 >
1 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.
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.
2 Bear one another's heavy burdens, and so fulfill the law of the Christ.
Bear ye one another’s burdens; and so you shall fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4 Let each one test his own work, and then do his ‘boasting’ only within himself, never to someone else.
But let every one prove his own work, and so he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another.
5 For each one must carry his own normal load.
For every one shall bear his own burden.
6 Let him who is taught the Word share all good things with him who teaches.
And let him that is instructed in the word, communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things.
7 Do not be deceived, God does not allow Himself to be treated with contempt; because whatever a man sows, that he will also reap
Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap.
8 —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 )
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 )
9 Let us not lose heart while doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up.
And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing.
10 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.
Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
11 See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand.
See what a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
12 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.
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.
13 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.
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.
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 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.
15 Because in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 Now as for those who conform to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
And whosoever shall follow this rule, peace on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the brand marks of the Lord Jesus.
From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me; for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in 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, brethren. Amen.
