< Galatians 6 >

1 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.
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness, paying attention to yoʋrself so that yoʋ too are not tempted.
2 One another’s burdens, be ye bearing, and, so, fill up the law of the Christ.
Bear one another's burdens, and in this way fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For, if any one thinketh he is something, when he is, nothing, he deceiveth himself;
For if anyone thinks that he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 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,
But each person should test his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.
5 For, each one, his own proper load, shall bear: —
For each person will bear his own load.
6 Howbeit, let him who is being orally instructed in the word, have fellowship with him that is so instructing him, in all good things.
Now the one who is instructed in the word must share all good things with the one who instructs him.
7 Be not deceiving yourselves! God, is not to be mocked; for, whatsoever a man soweth, the same, shall he also reap, —
Do not be misled: God is not mocked. A person reaps what he sows.
8 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 g166)
For he who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but he who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. (aiōnios g166)
9 And, in doing that which is honourable, let us not be fainthearted; for, in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.
So let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.
10 Hence, then, as we have opportunity, let us be working what is good, towards all, —but, especially, towards the family of the faith.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, and especially to those of the household of faith.
11 See! with what large letters, unto you, I have written, with my own hand: —
See what large letters I am using as I write to you with my own hand!
12 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!
It is those who want to make a good appearance in the flesh who compel you to be circumcised, but only so that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 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.
For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh.
14 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;
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 circumcision is anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; —
For in Christ Jesus neither does circumcision have any significance, nor uncircumcision, but what matters is whether we become a new creation.
16 And, as many as, by this rule, shall walk, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
As for all who follow this standard, peace and mercy be upon them and upon the Israel of God.
17 For the rest, annoyances, unto me, let no one be offering; for, I, the brandmarks of Jesus, in my body, am bearing.
From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus on my body.
18 The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
