< 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, if indeed a man may be overtaken in some transgression, you who are spiritual, perfect such an one in the spirit of meekness; watching yourself, lest you may also be tempted.
2 Bear one another's heavy burdens, and so fulfill the law of the Christ.
Bear the burdens of one another, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
For if any one seems to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself.
4 Let each one test his own work, and then do his ‘boasting’ only within himself, never to someone else.
But let each one prove his own work, and then he shall have rejoicing to himself alone, and not to another;
5 For each one must carry his own normal load.
for each one shall bear his own responsibility.
6 Let him who is taught the Word share all good things with him who teaches.
But let the one who is taught the word communicate to the one teaching 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 whatsoever a man may sow, that shall he also 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 )
because the one sowing to his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but the one sowing to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap eternal life. (aiōnios )
9 Let us not lose heart while doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up.
But let us not get weary doing that which is good: for in due time we will reap, fainting not.
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.
Then therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
11 See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand.
You see with how large letters I have written unto 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.
So many as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised; only that they do not suffer persecution on account 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 do those who are circumcised keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, in order 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 it would be impossible for me to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world:
15 Because in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.
for neither is circumcision anything, 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 so many as shall walk by this rule, peace and mercy be unto them, and unto 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.
Finally let no one give me troubles: for I bear in my own body the marks of Jesus.
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.
