Galatians 6

1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.

1 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 Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

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

3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

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

4 Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.

4 But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.

5 For each one should carry his own load.

5 For each man will bear his own burden.

6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.

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

7 Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.

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

8 The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

8 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 Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

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

10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.

10 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 See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!

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

12 Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.

12 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 For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

13 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 But as for me, 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.

14 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 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.

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

16 Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.

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

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

17 From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.

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

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