Galatians 6
Carry One Another’s Burdens
1BrothersG80, ifG1437 someoneG444 is caughtG4301 inG1722 aG5100 trespassG3900, youG4771 who areG3588 spiritualG4152 should restoreG2675 himG5108 withG1722 a spiritG4151 of gentlenessG4240. But watchG4648 yourselfG4572, orG3361 youG4771 alsoG2532 may be temptedG3985. 2CarryG941 one another’sG240 burdensG922, andG2532 in this wayG3779 you will fulfillG378 theG3588 lawG3551 of ChristG5547.
IfG1487 anyoneG5100 thinksG1380 he isG1510 somethingG5100 when he isG1510 nothingG3367, he deceivesG5422 himselfG1438.
Each oneG1538 should testG1381 his ownG1438 workG2041. ThenG5119 he will haveG2192 reason to boastG2745 inG1519 himselfG1438 aloneG3441, andG2532 notG3756 inG1519 someone elseG2087. 5ForG1063 each oneG1538 should carryG941 his ownG2398 loadG5413. 6NeverthelessG1161, the one whoG3588 receives instructionG2727 in theG3588 wordG3056 must shareG2841 inG1722 allG3956 good thingsG18 withG3588 his instructorG2727.
7Do notG3361 be deceivedG4105: GodG2316 is notG3756 to be mockedG3456. WhateverG3739G1437 a manG444 sowsG4687, he will reap in returnG3778G2532G2325. 8TheG3588 one who sowsG4687 to pleaseG1519 hisG1438 fleshG4561, fromG1537 theG3588 fleshG4561 will reapG2325 destructionG5356; butG1161 theG3588 one who sowsG4687 to pleaseG1519 theG3588 SpiritG4151, fromG1537 theG3588 SpiritG4151 will reapG2325 eternalG166 lifeG2222.
Let us not grow wearyG3361G1573 in well-doingG2570G4160, forG1063 in dueG2398 timeG2540 we will reap a harvestG2325 if we do not give upG3361G1590. 10ThereforeG686G3767, asG5613 we haveG2192 opportunityG2540, let us doG2038 goodG18 toG4314 everyoneG3956, andG1161 especiallyG3122 toG4314 theG3588 familyG3609 ofG3588 faithG4102.
Final Warnings and Blessings
11SeeG3708 what largeG4080 lettersG1121 I am using to writeG1125 to youG4771 withG3588 my ownG1699 handG5495!
12Those whoG3745 wantG2309 to make a good impressionG2146 outwardlyG1722G4561 are trying to compelG315 youG4771 to be circumcisedG4059. They onlyG3440 do this toG2443 avoidG3361 persecutionG1377 for theG3588 crossG4716 of ChristG5547. 13ForG1063 theG3588 circumcisedG4059 do not evenG3761 keepG5442 the lawG3551 themselvesG846, yetG235 they wantG2309 youG4771 to be circumcisedG4059 thatG2443 they may boastG2744 inG1722 yourG5212 fleshG4561.
14ButG1161 as for meG1473, mayG1096 I neverG3361 boastG2744, exceptG1487G3361 inG1722 theG3588 crossG4716 of ourG1473 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, throughG1223 whichG37391 the worldG2889 has been crucifiedG4717 to meG1473, and IG2504 to the worldG2889. 15ForG1063 neitherG3777 circumcisionG4061 norG3777 uncircumcisionG203 meansG1510 anythingG5100. What counts is a newG2537 creationG2937.
PeaceG1515 andG2532 mercyG1656 toG1909 allG3745 whoG3588 walkG4748 by thisG3778 ruleG2583, evenG2532 toG1909 theG3588 IsraelG2474 of GodG2316.
From now onG3064 let no oneG3367 causeG3930 meG1473 troubleG2873, forG1063 IG1473 bearG941 onG1722 myG1473 bodyG4983 theG3588 marksG4742 of JesusG2424.
18TheG3588 graceG5485 of ourG1473 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be withG3326 yourG4771 spiritG4151, brothersG80.
AmenG281.
