Galatians 6
NET Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT GRK]
NET BibleInternational Standard Version
1Brothers and sisters, if a person is discovered in some sin, you who are spiritual restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness. Pay close attention to yourselves, so that you are not tempted too.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 one another'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.
3For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.3For if anyone thinks he is something when he is really nothing, he is only fooling himself.
4Let each one examine his own work. Then he can take pride in himself and not compare himself with 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 will carry his own load. 5For everyone must carry his own load.
6Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it.6The person who is taught the word should share all his goods with his teacher.
7Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows,7Stop being deceived; God is not to be ridiculed. A person harvests whatever he plants:
8because the person who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.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.
9So we must not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap, 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.
10So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith. 10So then, whenever we have the opportunity, let's practice doing good to everyone, especially to the family of faith.
11See what big letters I make 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 make a good showing in external matters are trying to force you to be circumcised. They do so only 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.
13For those who are circumcised do not obey the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your 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.
14But 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.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!
15For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; the only thing that matters is a new creation!15For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters. Rather, what matters is being a new creation.
16And all who will behave in accordance with this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on 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 the marks of Jesus on my body. 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.
