< Galatians 6 >
1 Brothers, if someone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Be concerned about yourself, so you also may not be tempted.
Brethren, if even a man be taken in some fault, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself lest thou also be tempted.
2 Carry one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfil the law of the Christ.
3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
For if any man reputes himself to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself;
4 Each one should examine his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in someone else.
but let each prove his own work, and then he will have his boast in what belongs to himself alone, and not in what belongs to another.
5 For each one will carry his own load.
For each shall bear his own burden.
6 The one who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches.
Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teaches in all good things.
7 Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man plants, that he will also gather in.
Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatever a man shall sow, that also shall he reap.
8 For he who plants seed to his own sinful nature, from the sinful nature will gather in destruction. The one who plants seed to the Spirit, from the Spirit will gather in eternal life from the Spirit. (aiōnios )
For he that sows to his own flesh, shall reap corruption from the flesh; but he that sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit shall reap eternal life: (aiōnios )
9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the right time we will gather in a harvest, if we do not give up.
but let us not lose heart in doing good; for in due time, if we do not faint, we shall reap.
10 So then, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the household of faith.
So then, as we have occasion, let us do good towards all, and specially towards those of the household of faith.
11 See what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
See how long a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
12 Those who want to make a good impression in the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They do this only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
As many as desire to have a fair appearance in [the] flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ.
13 For not even those who circumcised themselves keep the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast about your flesh.
For neither do they that are circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
14 But 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.
But far be it from me to boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom [the] world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but what counts is a new creation.
For [in Christ Jesus] neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision; but new creation.
16 To all who live according to this standard, peace and mercy be upon them, even upon the Israel of God.
And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 From now on let no one trouble me, for I carry on my body the marks of Jesus.
For the rest let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.
18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
