< Galatians 6 >

1 Brethren, if a man be suddenly taken in any offence, ye which are spirituall, restore such one with the spirit of meekenes, considering thy selfe, least thou also be tempted.
Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
2 Beare ye one anothers burden, and so fulfill the Lawe of Christ.
Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For if any man seeme to himselfe, that he is somewhat, when he is nothing, hee deceiueth himselfe in his imagination.
If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 But let euery man prooue his owne worke: and then shall he haue reioycing in himselfe onely and not in another.
Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.
5 For euery man shall beare his owne burden.
For each one should carry his own load.
6 Let him that is taught in the worde, make him that hath taught him, partaker of all his goods.
Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.
7 Be not deceiued: God is not mocked: for whatsoeuer a man soweth, that shall hee also reape.
Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.
8 For hee that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reape corruption: but hee that soweth to the spirit, shall of the spirit reape life euerlasting. (aiōnios g166)
The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
9 Let vs not therefore be weary of well doing: for in due season we shall reape, if we faint not.
Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
10 While we haue therefore time, let vs doe good vnto all men, but specially vnto them, which are of the housholde of faith.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.
11 Ye see how large a letter I haue written vnto you with mine owne hand.
See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!
12 As many as desire to make a faire shewe in the flesh, they constraine you to be circumcised, onely because they would not suffer persecution for the crosse of Christ.
Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 For they themselues which are circumcised keepe not the law, but desire to haue you circumcised, that they might reioyce in your flesh.
For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
14 But God forbid that I should reioyce, but in ye crosse of our Lord Iesus Christ, whereby the world is crucified vnto me, and I vnto ye world.
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.
15 For in Christ Iesus neither circumcision auaileth any thing, nor vncircumcision, but a newe creature.
For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.
16 And as many as walke according to this rule, peace shalbe vpon them, and mercie, and vpon the Israel of God.
Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.
17 From henceforth let no man put me to busines: for I beare in my body the markes of the Lord Iesus.
From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. ‘Vnto the Galatians written from Rome.’
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
