To the Galatians, 6

1 Brothers, even though a man takes some false step*1 before he is aware of it, YOU who have spiritual qualifications try to readjust*2 such a man in a spirit of mildness, as you each keep an eye on yourself, for fear you also may be tempted.

  1. Lit., “should be overtaken.”

  2. Or, “to restore to proper position; to bring into proper alignment.”

2 Go on carrying the burdens*1 of one another, and thus fulfill the law of the Christ.

  1. Or, “troublesome things.” Lit., “heavy things.” Gr., baʹre.

3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he is deceiving his own mind.

4 But let each one*1 prove what his own work is, and then he will have cause for exultation in regard to himself alone, and not in comparison with the other person.

  1. “Each one,” אACDVg; P46B, “him.”

5 For each one will carry his own load.*1

  1. “Load.” Gr., phor·tiʹon. Compare vs 2.

6 Moreover, let anyone who is being orally taught*1 the word share in all good things with the one who gives such oral teaching.

  1. Lit., “being sounded down to.” Gr., ka·te·khouʹme·nos; Lat., ca·te·ci·zaʹtur.

7 Do not be misled: God is not one to be mocked. For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap;

8 because he who is sowing with a view to his flesh will reap corruption from his flesh, but he who is sowing with a view to the spirit will reap everlasting life from the spirit.

9 So let us not give up in doing what is fine, for in due season we shall reap if we do not tire out.

10 Really, then, as long as we have time favorable for it, let us work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to [us] in the faith.

11 SEE*1 with what large letters*2 I have written YOU with my own hand.

  1. Or, “You see.”

  2. Or, “with what a long letter.”

12 All those who want to make a pleasing appearance in the flesh are the ones that try to compel YOU to get circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the torture stake*1 of the Christ, Jesus.*2

  1. See App 5C.

  2. “Christ, Jesus,” P46B; אACDVgSyp, “Christ.”

13 For not even do those who are getting circumcised keep the Law themselves, but they want YOU to be circumcised that they may have cause for boasting in YOUR flesh.

14 Never may it occur that I should boast, except in the torture stake of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been impaled to me and I to the world.

15 For neither is circumcision anything nor is uncircumcision, but a new creation [is something].

16 And all those who will walk orderly by this rule of conduct,*1 upon them be peace and mercy, even upon the Israel*2 of God.

  1. “By . . . rule of conduct.” Or, “by . . . ­canon (rule).” Lit., “to the (measuring) reed.” Gr., toi ka·noʹni; Lat., reʹgu·lam, “regulation”; J18(Heb.), qenehʹ ham·mid·dahʹ, “the reed of measure.” Compare Eze 40:5 ftn, “Reed.”

  2. Meaning “God Contends; Contender (Perseverer) With God.”

17 Henceforth*1 let no one be making trouble for me, for I am carrying on my body the brand marks [of a slave] of Jesus.

  1. Or, “Finally.”

18 The undeserved kindness of our*1 Lord Jesus Christ [be] with the spirit YOU [show], brothers. Amen.

  1. “Our,” P46ABCDVgSyp; א, “the.”
