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 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.

2 Beare ye one anothers burden, and so fulfill the Lawe of Christ.

Bear one another's heavy burdens, and so fulfill the law of the Christ.

3 For if any man seeme to himselfe, that he is somewhat, when he is nothing, hee deceiueth himselfe in his imagination.

For if anyone thinks himself to be 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.

Let each one test his own work, and then do his ‘boasting’ only within himself, never to someone else.

5 For euery man shall beare his owne burden.

For each one must carry his own normal load.

6 Let him that is taught in the worde, make him that hath taught him, partaker of all his goods.

Let him who is taught the Word share all good things with him who teaches.

7 Be not deceiued: God is not mocked: for whatsoeuer a man soweth, that shall hee also reape.

Do not be deceived, God does not allow Himself to be treated with contempt; because whatever a man sows, that he will also reap

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)

—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 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 lose heart while doing good, for we will reap in due season, 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.

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.

11 Ye see how large a letter I haue written vnto you with mine owne hand.

See with what large letters I have written 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 showing in the flesh are pressuring you to be circumcised, but only so as not to be persecuted 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 not even those who are circumcised 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.

Because in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but 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.

Now as for those who conform to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon 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.

Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the brand marks of the Lord 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.
