< Galatians 6 >

1 Brethren! if a man should even be overtaken in any fault, ye, the spiritual, be restoring such a one, in a spirit of meekness, looking to thyself, lest, even thou, be put to the test.
And brothers, if a man is overtaken in some transgression, ye the spiritual, restore such in a spirit of meekness, looking to thyself lest thou also be tempted.
2 One another’s burdens, be ye bearing, and, so, fill up the law of the Christ.
Bear the burdens of each other, and so fulfill the law of the Christ.
3 For, if any one thinketh he is something, when he is, nothing, he deceiveth himself;
For if some man presumes to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 But, his own work, let each one be putting to the proof, and, then, for himself alone, the matter of boasting, shall he have, and not for some other,
But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have the boast in himself alone and not in the other man.
5 For, each one, his own proper load, shall bear: —
For each man will bear his own burden.
6 Howbeit, let him who is being orally instructed in the word, have fellowship with him that is so instructing him, in all good things.
But let him who is taught in the word share in all good things with him who teaches.
7 Be not deceiving yourselves! God, is not to be mocked; for, whatsoever a man soweth, the same, shall he also reap, —
Be not misled, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows this he will also reap.
8 Because, he that soweth into his own flesh, out of the flesh, shall reap corruption, whereas, he that soweth into the Spirit, out of the Spirit, shall reap age-abiding life. (aiōnios g166)
Because 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)
9 And, in doing that which is honourable, let us not be fainthearted; for, in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.
And let us not be weary doing good, for in our own time we will reap, not desponding.
10 Hence, then, as we have opportunity, let us be working what is good, towards all, —but, especially, towards the family of the faith.
So then as we have time, let us work what is good toward all men, and especially toward those belonging to a household of the faith.
11 See! with what large letters, unto you, I have written, with my own hand: —
See in how large letters I wrote to you with my hand.
12 As many as are wishing to make a good show in flesh, the same, are compelling you to get circumcised, —only that, for the cross of Christ [Jesus], they may not be suffering persecution!
As many as desire to make a good impression in flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only so that they may not be persecuted for the cross of the Christ.
13 For, not even they who are getting circumcised, are, themselves, observing law, —but are wishing you to be circumcised, that, in your flesh, they may boast themselves.
For not even those who have been circumcised themselves keep law, but they want you to be circumcised, so that they may boast in thy flesh.
14 With me, however, far be it! to be boasting, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, —whereby, unto me, a world hath been crucified, and, I, unto a world;
But may it not be from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 For neither circumcision is anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; —
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
16 And, as many as, by this rule, shall walk, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
And as many as will march by this standard, peace upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 For the rest, annoyances, unto me, let no one be offering; for, I, the brandmarks of Jesus, in my body, am bearing.
Finally, let no man cause troubles for me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
18 The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit, brothers. Truly.
