< 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, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.
2 One another’s burdens, be ye bearing, and, so, fill up the law of the Christ.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 For, if any one thinketh he is something, when he is, nothing, he deceiveth himself;
For if a man thinks himself to be 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 let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.
5 For, each one, his own proper load, shall bear: —
For each man will bear his own burden.
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.
But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.
7 Be not deceiving yourselves! God, is not to be mocked; for, whatsoever a man soweth, the same, shall he also reap, —
Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
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 )
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 eternal life. (aiōnios )
9 And, in doing that which is honourable, let us not be fainthearted; for, in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.
Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t 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.
So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good towards all men, and especially towards those who are of the household of the faith.
11 See! with what large letters, unto you, I have written, with my own hand: —
See with what large letters 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!
As many as desire to make a good impression in the flesh compel you to be circumcised, just so 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 even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, so that they may boast in 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 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.
15 For neither circumcision is anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; —
For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but 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 many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.
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 any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded 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.
