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 anybody be detected in any misconduct, you who are spiritual should restore such a one in a spirit of meekness. And let each of you keep watch over himself, lest he also fall into temptation.

2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole of Christ's Law.

3 For if a man thinketh himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

For if there is any one who thinks himself to be somebody when he is nobody, he is deluding 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 let every man scrutinize his own conduct, and then he will find out, not with reference to another but with reference to himself, what he has to boast of.

5 For each man shall bear his own burden.

For every man will have to carry his own load.

6 But let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

But let those who receive instruction in Christian truth share with their instructors all temporal blessings.

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Do not deceive yourselves. God is not to be scoffed at. For whatever a man sows, that he will 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 g166)

He who sows in the field of his lower nature, will from that nature reap destruction; but he who sows to serve the Spirit will from the Spirit reap the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)

9 And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Let us not abate our courage in doing what is right; for in due time we shall reap a reward, if we do not faint.

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.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us labour for the good of all, and especially of those who belong to the household of the faith.

11 See with how large letters I have written unto you with mine own hand.

See in what large letters I am writing to you 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.

All who desire to display their zeal for external observances try to compel you to receive circumcision, but their real object is simply to escape being persecuted for the Cross of Christ.

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 these very men do not really keep the Law of Moses, but they would have you receive circumcision in order that they may glory in your bodies.

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.

But as for me, God forbid that I should glory in anything except the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world.

15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; but only a renewed nature.

16 And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace [be] upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

And all who shall regulate their lives by this principle--may peace and mercy be given to them--and to the true Israel of God.

17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear branded on my body the marks of Jesus.

From this time onward let no one trouble me; for, as for me, I bear, branded on my body, the scars of Jesus as my Master.

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

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits, brethren. Amen.
