< Galatians 6 >

1 Brothers, even if someone is caught in some wrongdoing, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also are not tempted.
弟兄們,如果見一個人陷於某種過犯,你們既是屬神的人,就該以柔和的心神矯正他;但你們自己要小心,免得他陷入誘惑。
2 Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.
你們應彼此協助背負重擔,這樣,你們就滿全了基督的法律。
3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
人本來不算什麼,但若自以為算什麼,就是欺騙自己。
4 But let each one test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.
各只該考驗自己的行為,這樣,對自己也許有可誇耀之處,但不是對別人誇耀,
5 For every person will bear his own load.
因為各人要背負自己的重擔。
6 But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.
學習真道的,應讓教師分享自己的一切財物。
7 Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a person sows, that he will also reap.
你們切不要錯了,天主是嘲笑不得的:人種什麼,就收什麼。
8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
那隨從肉情撒種的,必由肉情收獲敗壞; 然而那隨從聖神撒種的,必由聖神收獲永生。 (aiōnios g166)
9 Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up.
為此,我們行善不要厭倦;如果不鬆懈,到了適當的時節,必可收穫。
10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do what is good toward all people, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.
所以,我們一有機會,就應向眾人行善,尤其應向有同樣信德的家人。
11 See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
你們看,我親手給你們寫的是多麼大的字!
12 As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
那些逼迫你們受割損的人,是想以外表的禮節來圖人稱讚,免得因基督的十字架遭受迫害;
13 For even they who receive circumcision do not keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
其實,他們雖然受了割損,卻也不遵守法律;他們只是願意你們受割損,為能因在你們的肉身上所行的禮儀而誇耀。
14 But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
至於我,我只以我們的主耶穌基督的十字架來誇耀,因為藉著基督,世界於我已被釘十字架上了;我於世界也被釘在十字架上了。
15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
其實,割損或不割損都算不得什麼,要緊的是新受造的人。
16 As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God's Israel.
凡以此為規律而行的,願平安與憐憫降在他們身上,即降在天主的新以色列身上!
17 From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body.
從今以後,我切切願沒有人再煩擾我,因為在我身上,我帶有耶穌的格印。
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
弟兄們! 願我們的主耶穌基督的恩寵,常與你們的心靈同在! 阿們。
