< Galatians 6 >
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye who are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Even if any one should be overtaken in a fault, brothers, you that are spiritual ought, in a gentle spirit, to restore such a one, each one of you looking to himself, lest you too be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Ever be bearing one another’s burdens, and so be fulfilling the law of Christ.
3 For if a man thinketh himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
If a man fancies himself to be somebody when he is really nobody he is deceiving himself.
4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
Let each one test his own work, and he will then have something to be proud of by comparing himself with himself, and not with any one else;
5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
for every one must carry his own pack load.
6 Let him that is taught in the word share with him that teacheth in all good things.
He, however, who is being taught in the message, should always share with his instructor in all the good things which he possesses.
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Be not deceived. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap life everlasting. (aiōnios )
The man who is sowing to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption; but he who is sowing to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap life eternal. (aiōnios )
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
And let us not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to them who are of the household of faith.
So then, as we have opportunity, let is do good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of faith.
11 Ye see how large a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
See with what large letters I have written to you in my own handwriting!
12 As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
Those who are trying to compel you to be circumcised are such as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
Even those who are being circumcised, are not themselves keeping the Law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may glory in your flesh.
14 But may it never be that I should glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
God forbid that I should glory in anything except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world has been crucified to me and I have been crucified to the world.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
For in Jesus Christ neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
On all who will govern their lives by this rule and on the Israel of God may peace and mercy rest.
17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
From this time forth let no one trouble me, for I bear branded in my body the marks of Jesus, my Master.
18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. To the Galatians written from Rome.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
