Gálatas 6
1 Hermanos, cuando una persona sea sorprendida en alguna transgresión, ustedes, los espirituales, restáurenlo con un espíritu de humildad, al considerarte a ti mismo, no sea que tú también seas tentado.
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 Sobrelleven los unos las cargas de los otros, y cumplirán así la Ley de Cristo.
[When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.
3 Porque si alguno que es nada, supone ser algo, se engaña él mismo.
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 Así que cada uno someta a prueba su propia obra, y entonces tendrá motivo para la alabanza propia solo en él mismo, y no en otro,
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 porque cada cual llevará su propia carga.
Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.
6 El que es enseñado en la Palabra, haga partícipe de todas las cosas buenas al que enseña.
[You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.
7 No sean engañados. Dios no es burlado, porque lo que siembre un hombre, esto también cosechará.
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 Porque el que siembra para su naturaleza humana, de la naturaleza humana cosechará corrupción, pero el que siembra para el Espíritu, del Espíritu cosechará vida eterna. (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 No desmayemos en hacer lo bueno, porque si no desmayamos, a su tiempo cosecharemos.
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 Así que, mientras tengamos oportunidad, esforcémonos en hacer el bien a todos, especialmente a la familia de la fe.
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 ¡Observen cuán grandes letras les escribí con mi mano!
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 Los que desean hacer una buena demostración en el cuerpo, los obligan a ser circuncidados, solo para que no sean perseguidos por causa de la cruz de Cristo.
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 Porque ni aun los mismos que son circuncidados guardan [la ]Ley, pero desean que ustedes sean circuncidados para enaltecerse en el cuerpo de ustedes.
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 Pero de ningún modo me suceda enaltecerme, sino en la cruz de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, por medio del cual [el] mundo fue crucificado para mí, y yo para [el] mundo.
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 Porque ni [la ]circuncisión es algo, ni [la ]incircuncisión, sino [la] nueva creación.
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 cuantos sigan según esta norma, paz y misericordia sean sobre ellos y sobre el Israel de Dios.
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 De aquí en adelante, nadie me cause dificultades, porque yo llevo en mi cuerpo las cicatrices de Jesús.
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 Hermanos, la gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con su espíritu. Amén.
My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
