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}.
Hermanos, si algún hombre fuere sorprendido en alguna culpa, vosotros los espirituales, restaurádle al tal en espíritu de mansedumbre, considerándote a ti mismo, porque tú no seas también tentado.
2 [When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.
Llevád los unos las cargas de los otros; y cumplíd así la ley de 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.
Porque el que piensa de sí que es algo, no siendo nada, a sí mismo se engaña.
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].
Así que cada uno examine su propia obra, y entonces en sí mismo solamente tendrá de qué gloriarse, y no en otro.
5 Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.
Porque cada cual llevará su propia carga.
6 [You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.
Y el que es instituido en la palabra haga partícipe en todos los bienes al que le instituye.
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].
No os engañéis: Dios no puede ser burlado; porque lo que el hombre sembrare eso también segará.
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)
Porque el que siembra para su carne, de la carne segará corrupción; mas el que siembra para el Espíritu, del Espíritu segará vida 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].
Mas no nos cansemos de hacer bien, que a su tiempo segaremos, si no nos desmayamos.
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.
Así pues, según que tenemos oportunidad, hagamos bien a todos; mayormente a los que son de la familia de la fe.
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:
Mirád que larga carta os he escrito con mi misma 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].
Todos los que quieren agradar en la carne, estos os constriñen a circuncidaros; solamente por no padecer la persecución por la cruz de 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.
Porque ni aun los mismos que se circuncidan, guardan la ley; mas quieren que os circuncideis vosotros, por gloriarse en vuestra 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.
Mas lejos esté de mí el gloriarme, sino en la cruz del Señor nuestro Jesu Cristo, por el cual el mundo me es crucificado a mí, y yo al mundo.
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.
Porque en Cristo Jesús, ni la circuncisión vale nada, ni la incircuncisión, sino la nueva criatura.
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.
Y todos los que anduvieren conforme a esta regla, paz sea sobre ellos, y misericordia, y sobre el Israel de Dios.
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!
De aquí adelante nadie me moleste; porque yo traigo en mi cuerpo las marcas del Señor Jesús.
18 My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesu Cristo sea, hermanos, con vuestro espíritu. Amén. Escrita de Roma a los Gálatas.
