Galatians 6 - Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Carry One Another’s Burdens

¹ Brothers and sisters, if someone is overtaken in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual, restore such a person with a gentle  spirit,  , watching out for yourselves so that you won’t also be tempted.

² Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ.

³ For if anyone considers himself to be something when he is nothing,  he deceives himself.

⁴ Let each person examine his own work,  and then he can take pride in himself alone, and not compare himself with someone else.

⁵ For each person will have to carry his own load.

⁶ Let the one who is taught the word share  all his good things with the teacher.

⁷ Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows he will also reap,

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

⁹ Let us not get tired  of doing good,  for we shall reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.

¹⁰ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us work  for the good  of all, especially for those who belong to the household  of faith.

Concluding Exhortation

¹¹ Look at what large letters I use as I write to you in my own handwriting.

¹² Those who want to make a good impression in the flesh  are the ones who would compel you to be circumcised   #– #but only to avoid being persecuted  for the cross  of Christ.

¹³ For even the circumcised don’t keep  the law themselves, and yet they want you to be circumcised in order to boast about your flesh.

¹⁴ But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The world has been crucified to me through the cross, and I to the world.

¹⁵ For  both circumcision and uncircumcision  mean nothing; what matters instead is a new creation.

¹⁶ May peace come to all those who follow this standard, and mercy even to the Israel  of God!

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

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