< Galatians 6 >
1 BRETHREN, if a man also be surprised into any act of offence, ye that are spiritual, replace such a one in the spirit of meekness; keeping an attentive eye on thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.
2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 For if any man conceits that he is something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 But let every man bring his own work to the test, and then shall he have glorying in himself alone, and not by comparison with another.
But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.
5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
For each man will bear his own burden.
6 Let him who is a learner of the word communicate to his instructor in all good things.
But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.
7 Be not deceived; God is not to be trifled with: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
8 For he that soweth unto his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption, and he that soweth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (aiōnios )
For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. (aiōnios )
9 Let us not then be weary of well-doing; for in due time we shall reap, if we faint not.
Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.
10 Well then, whilst we have opportunity, let us do good unto all men, but especially unto those who are of the household of faith.
So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good towards all men, and especially towards those who are of the household of the faith.
11 Ye see in how many words I have written unto you with my own hand.
See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
12 As many as wish to make a fair appearance in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
As many as desire to make a good impression in the flesh compel you to be circumcised, just so they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 For even they who are themselves circumcised do not keep the law, but desire you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
For even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, so that they may boast in your flesh.
14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world,
But far be it from me to 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 Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
16 And as many as shall walk after this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.
17 Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear the marks of our Lord Jesus Christ in my body.
From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen. To the Galatians, written from Rome.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
