Galatians 6

New American Standard Bible 1995

Bear One Another’s Burdens

6 ^(A)Brethren, even if ^[a]anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are ^(B)spiritual, ^(C)restore such a one ^(D)in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. ^2 (E)Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill ^(F)the law of Christ. ³ For ^(G)if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. ⁴ But each one must ^(H)examine his own work, and then he will have reason for ^(I)boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another. ⁵ For ^(J)each one will bear his own load.

^6 (K)The one who is taught ^(L)the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him. ^7 (M)Do not be deceived, ^(N)God is not mocked; for ^(O)whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. ^8 (P)For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap ^(Q)corruption, but ^(R)the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. ^9 (S)Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we ^(T)do not grow weary. ¹⁰ So then, ^[b](U)while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the ^(V)household of ^(W)the faith.

¹¹ See with what large letters I ^[c]am writing to you ^(X)with my own hand. ¹² Those who desire ^(Y)to make a good showing in the flesh try to ^(Z)compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they ^(AA)will not be persecuted ^[d]for the cross of Christ. ¹³ For those who ^[e]are circumcised do not even ^(AB)keep ^[f]the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may ^(AC)boast in your flesh. ¹⁴ But ^(AD)may it never be that I would boast, ^(AE)except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(AF)through ^[g]which the world has been crucified to me, and ^(AG)I to the world. ¹⁵ For ^(AH)neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a ^(AI)new ^[h]creation. ¹⁶ And those who will ^[i]walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the ^(AJ)Israel of God.

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

^18 (AL)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be ^(AM)with your spirit, ^(AN)brethren. Amen.
