1 B rethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself -- lest thou also may be tempted;

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 o f one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,

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

3 f or if any one doth think to be something -- being nothing -- himself he doth deceive;

For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

4 a nd 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,

But let each man test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.

5 f or each one his own burden shall bear.

For each man will bear his own burden.

6 A nd let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing -- in all good things.

But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

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

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

8 b ecause 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;

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.

9 a nd in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding;

Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

10 t herefore, 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 opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

11 Y e see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand;

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

12 a s 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,

As many as desire to look good in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

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

For even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.

14 A nd 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 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 f or in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;

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

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

As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.

17 H enceforth, 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 cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.

18 T he grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with your spirit, brethren! Amen.

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