< Galatians 6 >
1 Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of meekness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be 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 ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
One another’s burdens, be ye bearing, and, so, fill up the law of the Christ.
3 For if a man thinketh himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
For, if any one thinketh he is something, when he is, nothing, he deceiveth himself;
4 But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of his neighbour.
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 each man shall bear his own burden.
For, each one, his own proper load, shall bear: —
6 But let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
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 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he 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 that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal 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 And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
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 work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that 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 how large letters I have written unto you with mine own hand.
See! with what large letters, unto you, I have written, with my own hand: —
12 As many as desire to make a fair show 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 not even they who receive circumcision do themselves keep the law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory 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 glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto 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 creature.
For neither circumcision is anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; —
16 And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace [be] upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
And, as many as, by this rule, shall walk, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear branded on my body the marks of Jesus.
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, brethren. Amen.
The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
