Galacjan 6
1 Bracia! jeźliby też człowiek zachwycony był w jakim upadku, wy duchowni: naprawiajcie takiego w duchu cichości, upatrując każdy samego siebie, abyś i ty nie był kuszony.
My fellow believers, if [you] discover that a person [among your congregation] is sinning, [those of] you whom [God’s] Spirit [is directing and empowering] should gently correct that person. [Furthermore, each of] you [who corrects another person should] be very cautious in order that you might not [sin like that when] you are tempted {[when something] tempts you}.
2 Jedni drugich brzemiona noście, a tak wypełniajcie zakon Chrystusowy.
[When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.
3 Albowiem jeźli kto mniema, żeby czem był, nie będąc niczem, takiego zawodzi własny umysł jego.
Keep in mind that those who [refuse to help others because they think that they are more important than other people, although they are] not really more important, are deceiving themselves.
4 Ale każdy niechaj własnego swego uczynku doświadcza, a tedy sam w sobie chwałę mieć będzie, a nie w drugim.
Instead, each [of you] should [constantly] test/judge [and decide if you can approve what you yourself are doing and thinking]. Then you can boast because of what you yourself [are doing and thinking], and not because what you are doing is superior to what other persons [are doing].
5 Albowiem każdy swoje własne brzemię poniesie.
Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.
6 A niech udziela ten, który bywa nauczany w słowie, temu, który go naucza, ze wszystkich dóbr.
[You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.
7 Nie błądźcie; Bóg się nie da z siebie naśmiewać; albowiem cobykolwiek siał człowiek, to też żąć będzie.
You should not deceive yourselves. [Remember that] God is never outwitted {no one ever fools God}. [Just like] a farmer will reap exactly the kind [of crop that] he plants [MET], [God will reward people according to what they have done] [MET].
8 Bo kto sieje ciału swemu, z ciała żąć będzie skażenie; ale kto sieje duchowi, z ducha żąć będzie żywot wieczny. (aiōnios g166)
[God] will punish eternally those who do what their self-directed natures urge them to do. But those who please [God’s] Spirit will live forever [with God] because of what [God’s] Spirit does for them. (aiōnios g166)
9 A dobrze czyniąc nie słabiejmy; albowiem czasu swojego żąć będziemy nie ustawając.
But we should not (tire of/become discouraged while) doing what pleases God, because [eventually], at the time [that God] has determined, we will receive a reward [MET], if we do not stop [doing the good things that we have been doing].
10 Przeto tedy, póki czas mamy, dobrze czyńmy wszystkim, a najwięcej domownikom wiary.
So, whenever we have opportunities, we should do [what is] good to all people. But especially we should do what is good to all our fellow believers.
11 Widzicie, jakim długi list wam napisał ręką moją.
I am now writing this last part of this letter to you in my own handwriting. Notice the large letters with which I am now writing. I am doing this in order that I might emphasize this:
12 Którzykolwiek chcą być pozorni według ciała, ci was przymuszają, abyście się obrzezali, tylko aby dla krzyża Chrystusowego prześladowania nie cierpieli.
Some Jewish believers are trying to force you to perform certain rituals so that other Jews will think highly of them. They are insisting that you be circumcised {that someone must circumcise you}. They are doing that only in order that other Jews would no longer (persecute them/cause them to suffer) for proclaiming that God will save us because of our trusting in what Christ accomplished when he died on the cross [MTY, MET].
13 Albowiem i ci, którzy się obrzezują, nie zachowywują zakonu sami, ale chcą, abyście się wy obrzezali, żeby się z ciała waszego chlubili.
The reason that I say that is that the ones who are insisting that you be circumcised {that someone circumcise you} do not themselves fully obey the laws that God gave to Moses. Instead, they desire that you let someone circumcise you in order that they might boast to those Jews who would (persecute them/cause them to suffer) that you did that because they insisted [MTY] that you do it.
14 Ale ja, nie daj Boże, abym się miał chlubić, tylko w krzyżu Pana naszego Jezusa Chrystusa, przez którego mi jest świat ukrzyżowany, a ja światu.
I myself, however, strongly desire that I never boast about anything like that. The only thing I will boast about is what our Lord Jesus Christ accomplished by dying on the cross [MTY]. Because of what Christ did on the cross, I no longer am interested in the things that those who do not trust Christ [MTY] think are important, and those people are no longer interested in the things that I [MET] think are important.
15 Albowiem w Chrystusie Jezusie ani obrzezka nic nie waży, ani nieobrzezka, ale nowe stworzenie.
I will boast about Christ dying on the cross because God is concerned neither that people are circumcised nor that people are not circumcised. Instead, he is concerned only that people conduct their lives in a completely new way.
16 A którzykolwiek według tego sznuru postępować będą, pokój na nich przyjdzie i miłosierdzie, i na lud Boży Izraelski.
I pray that God will give inner peace and act kindly towards all who will act according to this new way of life. It is all those who live according to this new way of life who are now truly God’s people [MET], as the Israeli people were God’s people previously.
17 Na ostatek niechaj mi nikt trudności nie zadaje; albowiem ja piętna Pana Jezusowe noszę na ciele mojem.
Finally, I say that people have persecuted me/caused me to suffer for declaring the truth about Jesus, and as a result I have scars on my body. Your new teachers do not have scars like mine! So do not trouble/bother me about these matters again!
18 Łaska Pana naszego Jezusa Chrystusa niech będzie z duchem waszym, bracia! Amen.
My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
