Galatians 6

1 Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.

Brothers, if someone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Be concerned about yourself, so you also may not be tempted.

2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

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

3 For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

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

4 But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.

Each one should examine his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in someone else.

5 For each man will bear his own burden.

For each one will carry his own load.

6 But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

The one who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches.

7 Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man plants, that he will also gather in.

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 eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

For he who plants seed to his own sinful nature, from the sinful nature will gather in destruction. The one who plants seed to the Spirit, from the Spirit will gather in eternal life from the Spirit. (aiōnios g166)

9 Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the right time we will gather in a harvest, if we do not give up.

10 So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

So then, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the household of faith.

11 See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.

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

12 As many as desire to make a good impression in the flesh compel you to be circumcised, just so they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

Those who want to make a good impression in the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They do this only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.

13 For even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, so that they may boast in your flesh.

For not even those who circumcised themselves keep the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast about your flesh.

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.

But 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 is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but what counts is a new creation.

16 As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.

To all who live according to this standard, peace and mercy be upon them, even upon the Israel of God.

17 From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.

From now on let no one trouble me, for I carry on my body the marks of Jesus.

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

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