< 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;
Also, brethren, if a man be surprised into any fault, you, the spiritual men, set such a one right again in the spirit of meekness; taking a view of yourself, lest even you be tempted.
2 of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3 for if any one doth think [himself] to be something — being nothing — himself he doth deceive;
For if any one think himself to be something, being 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,
But let every one try his own work, and then he shall have boasting in himself alone, and not in another.
5 for each one his own burden shall bear.
For every one shall bear his own burden.
6 And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing — in all good things.
Now let him, who is instructed in the word, communicate of all good things to the instructor.
7 Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow — that also he shall reap,
Do not deceive yourselves; God is not mocked: for whatever a man shows, that also he shall 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 )
Therefore, he who sows to his flesh, shall from the flesh reap corruption: but he who sows to his spirit, shall from the Spirit reap life everlasting. (aiōnios )
9 and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap — not desponding;
Wherefore, let us not flag in well doing; for in the proper season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.
Well, then, while we have opportunity let us do good to all: but especially to them, who are of the household of faith.
11 Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand;
You see how large a letter, 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,
As many as wish to appear fair by the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not 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 do the circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish 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 far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;
For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision; but a new creature.
16 and as many as by this rule do walk — peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God!
Now as many as shall walk by this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and on 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.
Henceforth let no one give me trouble, for I bear the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit, brethren! Amen.
The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
