Galatians 6

Galatians 6:1

¹Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.

If someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore them in a spirit of gentleness, watching yourselves lest you also be tempted.

Galatians 6:2

²Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:3-5

³For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. ⁴But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else. ⁵For each man will bear his own burden.

Self-deceived importance is empty; test your own work for a proper boast, for each will bear their own load.

Galatians 6:6

⁶But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches.

Galatians 6:7-9

⁷Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. ⁸For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. ⁹Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.

God is not mocked: whatever one sows, that will one also reap—corruption from the flesh, eternal life from the Spirit. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:10

¹⁰So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

As we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

Galatians 6:11-13

¹¹See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand. ¹²As many as desire to make a good impression in the flesh compel you to be circumcised, just so they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. ¹³For even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, so that they may boast in your flesh.

Paul notes his large letters; those compelling circumcision want a good showing in the flesh and to avoid persecution for the cross, yet they do not keep the law themselves.

Galatians 6:14

¹⁴But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Paul refuses to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to him and he to the world.

Galatians 6:15-16

¹⁵For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. ¹⁶As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.

In Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything, but a new creation; peace and mercy on all who walk by this rule, and on the Israel of God.

Galatians 6:17

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

From now on let no one cause Paul trouble, for he bears the marks of Jesus on his body.

Galatians 6:18

¹⁸The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

Paul closes: the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
