Galatians 6

1 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}.

FRATELLI, benchè alcuno sia soprappreso in alcun fallo, voi, gli spirituali, ristorate un tale con ispirito di mansuetudine; prendendo guardia a te stesso, che ancora tu non sii tentato.

2 [When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.

Portate i carichi gli uni degli altri, e così adempiete la legge di Cristo.

3 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.

Perciocchè, se alcuno si stima esser qualche cosa, non essendo nulla, inganna sè stesso nell'animo suo.

4 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].

Ora provi ciascuno l'opera sua, ed allora avrà il vanto per riguardo di sè stesso solo, e non per riguardo d'altri.

5 Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.

Perciocchè ciascuno porterà il suo proprio peso.

6 [You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.

Or colui che è ammaestrato nella parola, faccia parte d'ogni [suo] bene a colui che [lo] ammaestra.

7 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].

Non v'ingannate: Iddio non si può beffare; perciocchè ciò che l'uomo avrà seminato, quello ancora mieterà.

8 [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)

Imperocchè colui che semina alla sua carne, mieterà della carne corruzione; ma, chi semina allo Spirito, mieterà dello Spirito vita eterna. (aiōnios g166)

9 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].

Or non veniam meno dell'animo facendo bene; perciocchè, se non ci stanchiamo, noi mieteremo nella sua propria stagione.

10 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.

Mentre adunque abbiam tempo, facciam bene a tutti; ma principalmente a' domestici della fede.

11 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:

Voi vedete quanto gran lettere vi ho scritte di mia propria mano.

12 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].

Tutti coloro che voglion piacere nella carne, per bel sembiante, vi costringono d'essere circoncisi; solo acciocchè non sieno perseguiti per la croce di Cristo.

13 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.

Poichè eglino stessi, che son circoncisi, non osservano la legge; ma vogliono che siate circoncisi, acciocchè si gloriino della vostra carne.

14 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.

Ma, quant'è a me, tolga Iddio ch'io mi glorii in altro che nella croce del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo, per la quale il mondo è crocifisso a me, ed io al mondo.

15 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.

Perciocchè in Cristo Gesù nè la circoncisione, nè l'incirconcisione non è di alcun valore; ma la nuova creatura.

16 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.

E sopra tutti coloro che cammineranno secondo questa regola [sia] pace, e misericordia; e sopra l'Israele di Dio.

17 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!

Nel rimanente, niuno mi dia molestia, perciocchè io porto nel mio corpo le stimmate del Signor Gesù.

18 My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)

Fratelli, [sia] la grazia del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo con lo spirito vostro. Amen.
