Galatians - 6

picture

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;

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

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

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,

5 f or each one his own burden shall bear.

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

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

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

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.

11 Y e see in how large letters I have written 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,

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.

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;

15 f or in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth 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!

17 H enceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body do bear.

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