Galatians 6

1 My friends, if someone is led astray by sin, you who are spiritual should bring them back with a gentle spirit. Watch out that you don't get tempted too.

Brethren, if even a man be taken in some fault, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself lest thou also be tempted.

2 Carry each other's burdens, for in this way you fulfill the law of Christ.

Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfil the law of the Christ.

3 Those who think they're really something—when they're actually nothing—only fool themselves.

For if any man reputes himself to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself;

4 Carefully examine your actions. Then you can be satisfied with yourself, without comparing yourself to anyone else.

but let each prove his own work, and then he will have his boast in what belongs to himself alone, and not in what belongs to another.

5 We have to take responsibility for ourselves.

For each shall bear his own burden.

6 Those that are taught the Word should treat their teachers well, sharing with them all good things.

Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teaches in all good things.

7 Don't be fooled, God can't be treated with contempt: whatever you sow, that's what you reap.

Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatever a man shall sow, that also shall he reap.

8 If you sow according to your sinful human nature, from that nature you'll reap self-destruction. But if you sow according to the Spirit, from the Spirit you'll reap eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

For he that sows to his own flesh, shall reap corruption from the flesh; but he that sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit shall reap eternal life: (aiōnios g166)

9 Let's never tire of doing good, for we'll reap a harvest at the proper time, if we don't give up.

but let us not lose heart in doing good; for in due time, if we do not faint, we shall reap.

10 So while we have time, let's do good to everyone—especially to those who belong to the family of faith.

So then, as we have occasion, let us do good towards all, and specially towards those of the household of faith.

11 Notice how big the letters are, now that I'm writing with my own hand!

See how long a letter I have written to you with my own hand.

12 Those people who only want to make a good impression are forcing you to be circumcised just so they won't be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

As many as desire to have a fair appearance in [the] flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ.

13 Even those who are circumcised don't keep the law, but they want to have you circumcised so that they can boast about you and claim you as their followers.

For neither do they that are circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.

14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through this cross, the world has been crucified to me, and I've been crucified as far as the world is concerned.

But far be it from me to boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom [the] world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

15 Circumcision or uncircumcision doesn't matter—what matters is that we're created brand new!

For [in Christ Jesus] neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision; but new creation.

16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this principle, and to the Israel of God!

And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

17 Please, don't anyone trouble me anymore, because I carry on my body the scars of Jesus.

For the rest let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.

18 My brothers and sisters, may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
