Προς Γαλατας 6
1 αδελφοι εαν και προληφθη ανθρωπος εν τινι παραπτωματι υμεις οι πνευματικοι καταρτιζετε τον τοιουτον εν πνευματι πραοτητος σκοπων σεαυτον μη και συ πειρασθης
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 aren’t tempted.
2 αλληλων τα βαρη βασταζετε και ουτως αναπληρωσατε τον νομον του χριστου
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 ει γαρ δοκει τις ειναι τι μηδεν ων εαυτον φρεναπατα
For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 το δε εργον εαυτου δοκιμαζετω εκαστος και τοτε εις εαυτον μονον το καυχημα εξει και ουκ εις τον ετερον
But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.
5 εκαστος γαρ το ιδιον φορτιον βαστασει
For each man will bear his own burden.
6 κοινωνειτω δε ο κατηχουμενος τον λογον τω κατηχουντι εν πασιν αγαθοις
But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.
7 μη πλανασθε θεος ου μυκτηριζεται ο γαρ εαν σπειρη ανθρωπος τουτο και θερισει
Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
8 οτι ο σπειρων εις την σαρκα εαυτου εκ της σαρκος θερισει φθοραν ο δε σπειρων εις το πνευμα εκ του πνευματος θερισει ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)
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 eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
9 το δε καλον ποιουντες μη εκκακωμεν καιρω γαρ ιδιω θερισομεν μη εκλυομενοι
Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.
10 αρα ουν ως καιρον εχομεν εργαζωμεθα το αγαθον προς παντας μαλιστα δε προς τους οικειους της πιστεως
So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good towards all men, and especially towards those who are of the household of the faith.
11 ιδετε πηλικοις υμιν γραμμασιν εγραψα τη εμη χειρι
See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
12 οσοι θελουσιν ευπροσωπησαι εν σαρκι ουτοι αναγκαζουσιν υμας περιτεμνεσθαι μονον ινα μη τω σταυρω του χριστου διωκωνται
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.
13 ουδε γαρ οι περιτεμνομενοι αυτοι νομον φυλασσουσιν αλλα θελουσιν υμας περιτεμνεσθαι ινα εν τη υμετερα σαρκι καυχησωνται
For even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, so that they may boast in your flesh.
14 εμοι δε μη γενοιτο καυχασθαι ει μη εν τω σταυρω του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου δι ου εμοι κοσμος εσταυρωται καγω τω κοσμω
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.
15 εν γαρ χριστω ιησου ουτε περιτομη τι ισχυει ουτε ακροβυστια αλλα καινη κτισις
For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
16 και οσοι τω κανονι τουτω στοιχησουσιν ειρηνη επ αυτους και ελεος και επι τον ισραηλ του θεου
As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.
17 του λοιπου κοπους μοι μηδεις παρεχετω εγω γαρ τα στιγματα του κυριου ιησου εν τω σωματι μου βασταζω
From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.
18 η χαρις του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου μετα του πνευματος υμων αδελφοι αμην
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
