Galatians 6
1 My fellow believers, if [you] discover that a person [among your congregation] is sinning, [those of] you whom [God’s] Spirit [is directing and empowering] should gently correct that person. [Furthermore, each of] you [who corrects another person should] be very cautious in order that you might not [sin like that when] you are tempted {[when something] tempts you}.
Meus irmãos e minhas irmãs, se alguém for desencaminhado pelo pecado, vocês, que são espirituais, devem ajudar, com gentileza, essa pessoa a encontrar o bom caminho. Cuidado para não serem tentados também.
2 [When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.
Ajudem-se, ao levarem as cargas uns dos outros, pois, assim, vocês cumprirão a lei de Cristo.
3 Keep in mind that those who [refuse to help others because they think that they are more important than other people, although they are] not really more important, are deceiving themselves.
Aqueles que acham que são realmente importantes, quando na verdade não são, apenas se enganam.
4 Instead, each [of you] should [constantly] test/judge [and decide if you can approve what you yourself are doing and thinking]. Then you can boast because of what you yourself [are doing and thinking], and not because what you are doing is superior to what other persons [are doing].
Examinem cuidadosamente suas ações. Para que, então, possam se sentir satisfeitos com vocês mesmos, sem se compararem aos outros.
5 Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.
Nós precisamos ter responsabilidade por nós mesmos.
6 [You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.
Aqueles que aprendem a Palavra devem tratar bem os seus mestres, compartilhando com eles todas as coisas boas.
7 You should not deceive yourselves. [Remember that] God is never outwitted {no one ever fools God}. [Just like] a farmer will reap exactly the kind [of crop that] he plants [MET], [God will reward people according to what they have done] [MET].
Não se enganem: Deus não pode ser tratado com desrespeito, pois o que uma pessoa plantar é isso mesmo o que ela irá colher.
8 [God] will punish eternally those who do what their self-directed natures urge them to do. But those who please [God’s] Spirit will live forever [with God] because of what [God’s] Spirit does for them. (aiōnios g166)
Se plantar de acordo com a natureza humana pecadora irá colher, dessa natureza, a morte. Mas, se plantar de acordo com o Espírito, do Espírito irá colher a vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
9 But we should not (tire of/become discouraged while) doing what pleases God, because [eventually], at the time [that God] has determined, we will receive a reward [MET], if we do not stop [doing the good things that we have been doing].
Nunca se cansem de fazer o bem, pois, se não desistirmos, faremos a colheita no momento certo.
10 So, whenever we have opportunities, we should do [what is] good to all people. But especially we should do what is good to all our fellow believers.
Então, enquanto ainda temos tempo, vamos fazer boas ações para todos, especialmente para aqueles que pertencem à família da fé.
11 I am now writing this last part of this letter to you in my own handwriting. Notice the large letters with which I am now writing. I am doing this in order that I might emphasize this:
Observem com que letras grandes escrevi a vocês com minhas próprias mãos!
12 Some Jewish believers are trying to force you to perform certain rituals so that other Jews will think highly of them. They are insisting that you be circumcised {that someone must circumcise you}. They are doing that only in order that other Jews would no longer (persecute them/cause them to suffer) for proclaiming that God will save us because of our trusting in what Christ accomplished when he died on the cross [MTY, MET].
Aquelas pessoas, que só querem causar uma boa impressão, estão forçando-os a serem circuncidados. Elas fazem isso apenas para não serem perseguidas por causa da cruz de Cristo.
13 The reason that I say that is that the ones who are insisting that you be circumcised {that someone circumcise you} do not themselves fully obey the laws that God gave to Moses. Instead, they desire that you let someone circumcise you in order that they might boast to those Jews who would (persecute them/cause them to suffer) that you did that because they insisted [MTY] that you do it.
Mesmo aqueles que são circuncidados não cumprem a lei, mas querem que vocês sejam circuncidados, para que possam se orgulhar de vocês e para afirmarem que vocês são seguidores deles.
14 I myself, however, strongly desire that I never boast about anything like that. The only thing I will boast about is what our Lord Jesus Christ accomplished by dying on the cross [MTY]. Because of what Christ did on the cross, I no longer am interested in the things that those who do not trust Christ [MTY] think are important, and those people are no longer interested in the things that I [MET] think are important.
Que eu nunca me vanglorie, a não ser na cruz do nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo. Por meio dessa cruz, o mundo foi crucificado para mim, e eu estou crucificado para o mundo.
15 I will boast about Christ dying on the cross because God is concerned neither that people are circumcised nor that people are not circumcised. Instead, he is concerned only that people conduct their lives in a completely new way.
Não interessa ser circuncidado ou não; o que realmente importa é ser uma nova pessoa!
16 I pray that God will give inner peace and act kindly towards all who will act according to this new way of life. It is all those who live according to this new way of life who are now truly God’s people [MET], as the Israeli people were God’s people previously.
Paz e misericórdia a todos os que seguem esse princípio e para o Israel de Deus!
17 Finally, I say that people have persecuted me/caused me to suffer for declaring the truth about Jesus, and as a result I have scars on my body. Your new teachers do not have scars like mine! So do not trouble/bother me about these matters again!
Por favor, não me incomodem mais, porque eu carrego em meu próprio corpo as cicatrizes de Jesus.
18 My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
Meus irmãos e minhas irmãs, que a graça do nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo seja com todos vocês! Amém!
