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.

Brethren, if anybody be detected in any misconduct, you who are spiritual should restore such a one in a spirit of meekness. And let each of you keep watch over himself, lest he also fall into temptation.

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

Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole of Christ's Law.

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

For if there is any one who thinks himself to be somebody when he is nobody, he is deluding himself.

4 But let euery man prooue his owne worke: and then shall he haue reioycing in himselfe onely and not in another.

But let every man scrutinize his own conduct, and then he will find out, not with reference to another but with reference to himself, what he has to boast of.

5 For euery man shall beare his owne burden.

For every man will have to carry his own load.

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

But let those who receive instruction in Christian truth share with their instructors all temporal blessings.

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

Do not deceive yourselves. God is not to be scoffed at. For 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 in the field of his lower nature, will from that nature reap destruction; but he who sows to serve the Spirit will from the Spirit reap the Life of the Ages. (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 abate our courage in doing what is right; for in due time we shall reap a reward, if we do not faint.

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 labour for the good of all, and especially of those who belong to the household of the faith.

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

See in what large letters I am writing 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.

All who desire to display their zeal for external observances try to compel you to receive circumcision, but their real object is simply to escape being 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 these very men do not really keep the Law of Moses, but they would have you receive circumcision in order that they may glory in your bodies.

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, God forbid that I should glory in anything except the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world.

15 For in Christ Iesus neither circumcision auaileth any thing, nor vncircumcision, but a newe creature.

For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; but only a renewed nature.

16 And as many as walke according to this rule, peace shalbe vpon them, and mercie, and vpon the Israel of God.

And all who shall regulate their lives by this principle--may peace and mercy be given to them--and to the true 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 this time onward let no one trouble me; for, as for me, I bear, branded on my body, the scars of Jesus as my Master.

18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. ‘Vnto the Galatians written from Rome.’

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits, brethren. Amen.
