< 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, and if a man be overtaken in any fault, you, who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Carry one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Bear ye one another’s burdens; and so you shall fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth 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 every one prove his own work, and so he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another.
5 For each one will carry his own load.
For every one shall bear his own burden.
6 The one who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches.
And let him that is instructed in the word, communicate to him that instructeth him, 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 what things a man shall sow, those 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 g166)
For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
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.
And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing.
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.
Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
11 See what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
See what 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.
For as many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer the persecution 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 they themselves who are circumcised, keep the law; but they will have you to be circumcised, that they may glory 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 God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; by 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 circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 To all who live according to this standard, peace and mercy be upon them, even upon the Israel of God.
And whosoever shall follow this rule, peace on 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.
From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me; for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body.
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.
