Bræður! Ef einhver misgjörð kann að henda mann, þá leiðréttið þér, sem andlegir eruð, þann mann með hógværð. Og haf gát á sjálfum þér, að þú freistist ekki líka.

Berið hver annars byrðar og uppfyllið þannig lögmál Krists.

Sá sem þykist vera nokkuð, en er þó ekkert, dregur sjálfan sig á tálar.

En sérhver rannsaki breytni sjálfs sín og þá mun hann hafa hrósunarefni í samanburði við sjálfan sig, en ekki miðað við aðra,

því að sérhver mun verða að bera sína byrði.

En sá, sem uppfræðist í orðinu, veiti þeim, sem uppfræðir, hlutdeild með sér í öllum gæðum.

Villist ekki! Guð lætur ekki að sér hæða. Það sem maður sáir, það mun hann og uppskera.

Sá sem sáir í hold sjálfs sín, mun af holdinu uppskera glötun, en sá sem sáir í andann, mun af andanum uppskera eilíft líf.

Þreytumst ekki að gjöra það sem gott er, því að á sínum tíma munum vér uppskera, ef vér gefumst ekki upp.

10 Þess vegna skulum vér, meðan tími er til, gjöra öllum gott og einkum trúbræðrum vorum.

11 Sjáið, með hversu stórum stöfum ég skrifa yður með eigin hendi.

12 Allir þeir, sem vilja líta vel út að holdinu til, það eru þeir, sem eru að þröngva yður til að láta umskerast, einungis til þess að þeir verði eigi ofsóttir vegna kross Krists.

13 Því að ekki halda einu sinni sjálfir umskurnarmennirnir lögmálið, heldur vilja þeir að þér látið umskerast, til þess að þeir geti stært sig af holdi yðar.

14 En það sé fjarri mér að hrósa mér af öðru en krossi Drottins vors Jesú Krists. Sakir hans er ég krossfestur heiminum og heimurinn mér.

15 Umskurn eða yfirhúð skipta engu, heldur að vera ný sköpun.

16 Og yfir öllum þeim, sem þessari reglu fylgja, sé friður og miskunn, og yfir Ísrael Guðs.

17 Enginn mæði mig héðan í frá, því að ég ber merki Jesú á líkama mínum.

Doing Good to All

Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit(A) should restore(B) that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.(C) If anyone thinks they are something(D) when they are not, they deceive themselves.(E) Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone,(F) without comparing themselves to someone else,(G) for each one should carry their own load.(H) Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.(I)

Do not be deceived:(J) God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.(K) Whoever sows to please their flesh,(L) from the flesh will reap destruction;(M) whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.(N) Let us not become weary in doing good,(O) for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.(P) 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good(Q) to all people, especially to those who belong to the family(R) of believers.

Not Circumcision but the New Creation

11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!(S)

12 Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh(T) are trying to compel you to be circumcised.(U) The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted(V) for the cross of Christ. 13 Not even those who are circumcised keep the law,(W) yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.(X) 14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,(Y) through which[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.(Z) 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything;(AA) what counts is the new creation.(AB) 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to[b] the Israel of God.

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

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ(AD) be with your spirit,(AE) brothers and sisters. Amen.

  1. Galatians 6:14 Or whom
  2. Galatians 6:16 Or rule and to

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.

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

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

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

For every man shall bear his own burden.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
