Galatians 6
NIV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT GRK]
New International VersionInternational Standard Version
1Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.1Brothers, if a person is caught doing something wrong, those of you who are spiritual should restore that person gently. Watch out for yourself so that you are not tempted as well.
2Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.2Practice carrying each other's burdens. In this way you will fulfill the law of the Messiah.
3If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves.3For if anyone thinks he is something when he is really nothing, he is only fooling himself.
4Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else,4Each person must examine his own actions, and then he can boast about his own accomplishments and not about someone else.
5for each one should carry their own load.5For everyone must carry his own load.
6Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.6The person who is taught the word should share all his goods with his teacher.
7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.7Stop being deceived; God is not to be ridiculed. A person harvests whatever he plants:
8Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.8The person who sows through human means will harvest decay from human means, but the person who sows in the Spirit will harvest eternal life from the Spirit.
9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.9Let's not get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest—if we do not give up.
10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.10So then, whenever we have the opportunity, let's practice doing good to everyone, especially to the family of faith.
11See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!11Look at how large these letters are because I am writing with my own hand!
12Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.12These people who want to impress others by their external appearance are trying to force you to be circumcised, simply to avoid being persecuted for the cross of the Messiah.
13Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.13Why, not even those who are circumcised obey the Law! They simply want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your external appearance.
14May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.14But may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world!
15Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation.15For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters. Rather, what matters is being a new creation.
16Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule--to the Israel of God.16Now may peace be on all those who live by this principle, and may mercy be on the Israel of God.
17From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.17Let no one make any more trouble for me, because I carry the scars of Jesus on my own body.
18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.18May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with your spirit, brothers! Amen.
