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}.
Irmãos, mesmo que um homem seja pego em alguma falha, você que é espiritual deve restaurá-la com espírito de gentileza, olhando para si mesmo, para que você também não seja tentado.
2 [When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.
Carregar os fardos uns dos outros, e assim cumprir 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.
Pois se um homem pensa que é algo quando não é nada, ele se engana a si mesmo.
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].
Mas deixe cada homem examinar seu próprio trabalho, e então ele terá motivos para se vangloriar em si mesmo, e não em outra pessoa.
5 Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.
Pois cada homem carregará seu próprio fardo.
6 [You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.
Mas deixe que aquele que é ensinado na palavra compartilhe todas as coisas boas com aquele que ensina.
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 deixe enganar. Deus não é escarnecido, pelo que um homem semeia, que ele também colherá.
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)
Pois aquele que semeia à sua própria carne, da carne colherá a corrupção. Mas aquele que semeia para o Espírito, do Espírito colherá 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].
Let não está cansado de fazer o bem, pois colheremos na época devida se não desistirmos.
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, como temos oportunidade, vamos fazer o que é bom para todos os homens, e especialmente para aqueles que são da 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:
Veja com que letras grandes eu lhe escrevo com minha própria mão.
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].
Tantos quanto o desejo de causar uma boa impressão na carne o obriga a ser circuncidado, só para que não seja perseguido pela 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.
Pois mesmo aqueles que recebem a circuncisão não cumprem a lei por si mesmos, mas desejam que você seja circuncidado, para que possam se vangloriar em sua carne.
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.
Mas longe de mim vangloriar-me, exceto na cruz de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, pela qual o mundo foi crucificado para mim, e eu 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.
Pois em Cristo Jesus não é a circuncisão nada, nem a incircuncisão, mas uma nova criação.
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.
Tantos quanto caminharem por esta regra, paz e misericórdia estejam sobre eles, e sobre 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!
De agora em diante, que ninguém me cause problemas, pois eu carrego as marcas do Senhor Jesus marcadas em meu corpo.
18 My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
A graça de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo esteja com vosso espírito, irmãos. Amém.
