Galatians 6 ~ Galatians 6

picture

1 B rethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.

2 B ear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

3 F or if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

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

4 B ut let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.

5 F or every man shall bear his own burden.

For each one will bear his own load.

6 L et him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

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

7 B e not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

8 F or he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

9 A nd let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

10 A s we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

11 Y e see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.

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

12 A s many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

13 F or neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.

14 B ut God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

But may it never be that I would 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 F or in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

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

16 A nd as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

17 F rom henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus.

18 B rethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Unto the Galatians written from Rome.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
