Galatians 6 - New Testament in Braid Scots 1904 (William Wye Smith)CHAPTIR SAX. Hoo to walk, and what to glorie in. 1 Brethren, gin aiblins a man be betrayʼt intil a faut, ye wha are spiritual recover sic a ane iʼ the spirit oʼ canniness; lookin to yersel, least ye yersel be tempit. 2 Uphaud ye ane anitherʼs burdens, sae sal ye perform the Law oʼ Christ. 3 For gin a man thinks he is something, whan he is naething, he is but deceivin his sel in his ain mind. 4 But lat ilka man test his ain wark; and than sal he hae pleasur in himsel allenarlie, and no in what anither thinks. 5 For ilka man sal cairry his ain back‐burden. 6 Nane‐the‐less, lat him that is instructit iʼ the Word hae fellowship wiʼ him that instructs, in aʼ gude things. 7 Dinna deceive yer sels; God isna to be mocked; for what a man saws, the same sall he shear; 8 For he that saws till his ain flesh, oot oʼ the flesh sal hae corruption; but he wha saws to the Spirit, oot oʼ the Spirit sal hae Life‐for‐aye. 9 But in doin what is weel, lat us no be cuisten‐doon; for in due time we sal reap, gin we gie‐na‐up. 10 Sae than, eʼen as we hae openins, lat us work what is gude toward aʼ men, special toward the hoosehauld oʼ the Faith. 11 (See wiʼ sic muckle letters I wrate tʼye, wiʼ my ain haun!) 12 As monie as wad mak a bonnie schaw iʼ the flesh, they wad gar ye be circumceesed, only that they soudna dree persecution for the Cross oʼ Christ. 13 For no eʼen they wha hae become circumceesed are their sels observin the Law, but they wad hae ye circumceesed, that they micht boast theirsels in your flesh. 14 But wiʼ me, lat it be far frae boastin, gin it be‐na in the cross oʼ oor Lord Jesus Christ, throwe wham the warld to me is crucifyʼt, and I to the warld. 15 For in Christ Jesus naither circumceesion is onything, nor uncircumceesion, but a new creation. 16 And till as mony as are gaun on by this rule, peace and mercy on them, and on the Israʼl oʼ God! 17 For the lave, lat nane gie me fash; for I bear aboot in my body the brands oʼ the Lord Jesus! 18 Oor Lord Jesus Christʼs favor wiʼ yere spirit, brethren! Amen! |
