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.

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

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

3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

4 But let each one test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.

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

5 For every person will bear his own load.

For each one must carry his own normal load.

6 But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

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

7 Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a person sows, that he will also reap.

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 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 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 us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up.

Let us not lose heart while doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up.

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.

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 See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.

See with what large letters I have written to you 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.

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 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 those who are circumcised keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

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.

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 neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

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

16 As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God's Israel.

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

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

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
