Galatians 6

1 Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who [are] spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself — lest thou also may be 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 of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,

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

3 for if any one doth think [himself] to be something — being nothing — himself he doth deceive;

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

4 and his own work let each one prove, and then in regard to himself alone the glorying he shall have, and not in regard to the other,

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 one his own burden shall bear.

For each one will carry his own load.

6 And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing — in all good things.

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

7 Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow — that also he shall reap,

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

8 because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during; (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 and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap — not desponding;

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 therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those 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 Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand;

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

12 as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised — only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,

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 neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory.

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 And for me, let it not be — to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, 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 circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;

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

16 and as many as by this rule do walk — peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God!

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

17 Henceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body do bear.

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 [is] with your spirit, brethren! Amen.

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