Galatians 6
1 Brothers, even if a man may be overtaken in any trespass, you who [are] spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering yourself—lest you also may be tempted.
Brothers, if someone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Be concerned about yourself, so you also may not be tempted.
2 Bear the burdens of one another, and so fill up the law of the Christ,
Carry one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3 for if anyone thinks [himself] to be something—being nothing—he deceives himself;
For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 and let each one prove his own work, and then he will have the glorying in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to the other,
Each one should examine his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in someone else.
5 for each one will bear his own burden.
For each one will carry his own load.
6 And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing in all good things.
The one who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches.
7 Do not be led astray: God is not mocked; for what a man may sow—that he will also reap,
Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man plants, that he will also gather in.
8 because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh will reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit will reap continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
For he who plants seed to his own sinful nature, from the sinful nature will gather in destruction. The one who plants seed to the Spirit, from the Spirit will gather in eternal life from the Spirit. (aiōnios g166)
9 and in doing good we should not be weary, for at the proper time we will reap—not desponding;
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the right time we will gather in a harvest, if we do not give up.
10 therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially to those of the household of faith.
So then, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the household of faith.
11 You see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand;
See what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
12 as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised—only that they may not be persecuted for the Cross of the Christ,
Those who want to make a good impression in the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They do this only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 for neither do those circumcised keep the Law themselves, but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
For not even those who circumcised themselves keep the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast about your flesh.
14 And for me, let it not be—to glory, except in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world;
But 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 Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;
For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but what counts is a new creation.
16 and as many as walk by this rule—peace on them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God!
To all who live according to this standard, peace and mercy be upon them, even upon the Israel of God.
17 From now on, let no one give me trouble, for I carry the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body.
From now on let no one trouble me, for I carry on my body the marks of Jesus.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit, brothers! Amen.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
