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 are not tempted.

Even if any one should be overtaken in a fault, brothers, you that are spiritual ought, in a gentle spirit, to restore such a one, each one of you looking to himself, lest you too be tempted.

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

Ever be bearing one another’s burdens, and so be fulfilling the law of Christ.

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

If a man fancies himself to be somebody when he is really nobody he is deceiving 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.

Let each one test his own work, and he will then have something to be proud of by comparing himself with himself, and not with any one else;

5 For each man will bear his own burden.

for every one must carry his own pack load.

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

He, however, who is being taught in the message, should always share with his instructor in all the good things which he possesses.

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

Be not deceived. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.

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 consummate (aiōnios g166) life.

The man who is sowing to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption; but he who is sowing to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

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

And let us not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.

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 opportunity, let is do good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of faith.

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

See with what large letters I have written to you in my own handwriting!

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 are trying to compel you to be circumcised are such as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

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

Even those who are being circumcised, are not themselves keeping the Law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may glory in 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.

God forbid that I should glory in anything except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world has been crucified to me and I have been crucified to the world.

15 For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

For in Jesus Christ neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

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

On all who will govern their lives by this rule and on the Israel of God may peace and mercy rest.

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 this time forth let no one trouble me, for I bear branded in my body the marks of Jesus, my Master.

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.
