ESV Parallel HCSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT GRK]
English Standard VersionHolman Christian Standard Bible
1Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.1Brothers, if someone is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual should restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching out for yourselves so you also won't be tempted.
2Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.2Carry one another's burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
3For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.3For if anyone considers himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.4But each person should examine his own work, and then he will have a reason for boasting in himself alone, and not in respect to someone else.
5For each will have to bear his own load.5For each person will have to carry his own load.
6Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches.6The one who is taught the message must share all his good things with the teacher.
7Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.7Don't be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows he will also reap,
8For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.8because the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
9And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.9So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don't give up.
10So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.10Therefore, as we have opportunity, we must work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.
11See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.11Look at what large letters I use as I write to you in my own handwriting.
12It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.12Those 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.
13For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.13For even the circumcised don't keep the law themselves; however, they want you to be circumcised in order to boast about your flesh.
14But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.14But 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.
15For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.15For both circumcision and uncircumcision mean nothing; what matters instead is a new creation.
16And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.16May peace come to all those who follow this standard, and mercy to the Israel of God!
17From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.17From now on, let no one cause me trouble, because I bear on my body scars for the cause of Jesus.
18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.18Brothers, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
