Galatians, 6

1. Brethren, 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.

1. Brethren, in the event of someone falling into a sin, you who are spiritual shall set him aright with the spirit of kindness. Take care for you, too, may be tempted.

2. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

2. Carry each other's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.

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

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

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

4. Let each one examine his own conduct and boast for himself, if he wants to do so, but not before others.

5. For every man shall bear his own burden.

5. In this, let each one carry his own things.

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

6. He who receives the teaching of the Word ought to share the good things he has with the one who instructs him.

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

7. Do not be fooled. God cannot be deceived. You reap what you sow.

8. For 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.

8. The person who sows for the benefit of his own flesh shall reap corruption and death from the flesh. He who sows in the spirit shall reap eternal life from the Spirit.

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

9. Let us do good without being discouraged; in due time we shall reap the reward of our constancy.

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

10. So while there is time, let us do good to all and especially to our family in the faith.

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

11. See these large letters I use when I write to you in my own hand. Who obliges you to be circumcised?

12. As 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.

12. Those who are most anxious to put up a good show in life: what if the cross of Christ should bring them some trouble!

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

13. Not for being circumcised do they observe the Law: what interests them is the external rite. What a boast for them if they had you circumcised!

14. But 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.

14. For me, I do not wish to take pride in anything except in the cross of Christ Jesus our Lord. Through him the world has been crucified to me and I to the world.

15. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

15. Let us no longer speak of the circumcised and of non-Jews, but of a new creation.

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

16. Let those who live according to this rule receive peace and mercy: they are the Israel of God!

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

17. Let no one trouble me any longer: for my part, I bear in my body the marks of Jesus.

18. Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen. <[To [the] Galatians written from Rome.]>

18. May the grace of Christ Jesus our Lord be with your spirit brothers and sisters. Amen.
