International Standard VersionBerean Study Bible
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. 1Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
2Practice carrying each other's burdens. In this way you will fulfill the law of the Messiah.2Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
3For if anyone thinks he is something when he is really nothing, he is only fooling himself. 3If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4Each person must examine his own actions, and then he can boast about his own accomplishments and not about someone else. 4Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.
5For everyone must carry his own load.5For each one should carry his own load.
6The person who is taught the word should share all his goods with his teacher. 6Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.
7Stop being deceived; God is not to be ridiculed. A person harvests whatever he plants: 7Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.
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. 8The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
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. 9Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
10So then, whenever we have the opportunity, let's practice doing good to everyone, especially to the family of faith.10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.
11Look at how large these letters are because I am writing with my own hand! 11See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!
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.12Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.
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.13For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
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! 14But as for me, may 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.
15For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters. Rather, what matters is being a new creation. 15For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.
16Now may peace be on all those who live by this principle, and may mercy be on the Israel of God. 16Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.
17Let no one make any more trouble for me, because I carry the scars of Jesus on my own body.17From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
18May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with your spirit, brothers! Amen.18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
