< Galatians 6 >
1 Brothers, even if someone is caught in some wrongdoing, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also are not tempted.
Brethren! if a man should even be overtaken in any fault, ye, the spiritual, be restoring such a one, in a spirit of meekness, looking to thyself, lest, even thou, be put to the test.
2 Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.
One another’s burdens, be ye bearing, and, so, fill up the law of the Christ.
3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
For, if any one thinketh he is something, when he is, nothing, he deceiveth himself;
4 But let each one test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.
But, his own work, let each one be putting to the proof, and, then, for himself alone, the matter of boasting, shall he have, and not for some other,
5 For every person will bear his own load.
For, each one, his own proper load, shall bear: —
6 But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.
Howbeit, let him who is being orally instructed in the word, have fellowship with him that is so instructing him, in all good things.
7 Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a person sows, that he will also reap.
Be not deceiving yourselves! God, is not to be mocked; for, whatsoever a man soweth, the same, shall he also reap, —
8 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 everlasting life. (aiōnios )
Because, he that soweth into his own flesh, out of the flesh, shall reap corruption, whereas, he that soweth into the Spirit, out of the Spirit, shall reap age-abiding life. (aiōnios )
9 Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up.
And, in doing that which is honourable, let us not be fainthearted; for, in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do what is good toward all people, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.
Hence, then, as we have opportunity, let us be working what is good, towards all, —but, especially, towards the family of the faith.
11 See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
See! with what large letters, unto you, I have written, with my own hand: —
12 As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
As many as are wishing to make a good show in flesh, the same, are compelling you to get circumcised, —only that, for the cross of Christ [Jesus], they may not be suffering persecution!
13 For even they who receive circumcision do not keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
For, not even they who are getting circumcised, are, themselves, observing law, —but are wishing you to be circumcised, that, in your flesh, they may boast themselves.
14 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.
With me, however, far be it! to be boasting, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, —whereby, unto me, a world hath been crucified, and, I, unto a world;
15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
For neither circumcision is anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; —
16 As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God's Israel.
And, as many as, by this rule, shall walk, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body.
For the rest, annoyances, unto me, let no one be offering; for, I, the brandmarks of Jesus, in my body, am bearing.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
