Galatians 6

1 Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who [are] spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself — lest thou also may be tempted;

Brothers, if a man is actually caught in some wrongdoing, you, the spiritual ones, should restore him in a spirit of gentleness, watching out for yourself lest you also be tempted.

2 of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,

Bear one another's heavy burdens, and so fulfill the law of the Christ.

3 for if any one doth think [himself] to be something — being nothing — himself he doth deceive;

For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

4 and his own work let each one prove, and then in regard to himself alone the glorying he shall have, and not in regard to the other,

Let each one test his own work, and then do his ‘boasting’ only within himself, never to someone else.

5 for each one his own burden shall bear.

For each one must carry his own normal load.

6 And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing — in all good things.

Let him who is taught the Word share all good things with him who teaches.

7 Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow — that also he shall reap,

Do not be deceived, God does not allow Himself to be treated with contempt; because whatever a man sows, that he will also reap

8 because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during; (aiōnios g166)

—he who sows to his own flesh will reap deterioration from that flesh; he who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from that Spirit. (aiōnios g166)

9 and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap — not desponding;

Let us not lose heart while doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up.

10 therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do what is good toward everyone, but especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

11 Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand;

See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand.

12 as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised — only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,

Those who want to make a good showing in the flesh are pressuring you to be circumcised, but only so as not to be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

13 for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory.

For not even those who are circumcised keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

14 And for me, let it not be — to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world;

But as for me, 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.

15 for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;

Because in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.

16 and as many as by this rule do walk — peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God!

Now as for those who conform to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

17 Henceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body do bear.

Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the brand marks of the Lord Jesus.

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit, brethren! Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
