Galatians 6

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1 Ref Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who `are' spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself -- lest thou also may be tempted;

2 Ref of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,

3 Ref for if any one doth think `himself' to be something -- being nothing -- himself he doth deceive;

4 Ref and his own work let each one prove, and then in regard to himself alone the glorying he shall have, and not in regard to the other,

5 Ref for each one his own burden shall bear.

6 Ref And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing -- in all good things.

7 Ref Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow -- that also he shall reap,

8 Ref because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during;

9 Ref and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding;

10 Ref therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.

11 Ref Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand;

12 Ref as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,

13 Ref for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory.

14 Ref And for me, let it not be -- to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world;

15 Ref for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;

16 Ref and as many as by this rule do walk -- peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God!

17 Ref Henceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body do bear.

18 Ref The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ `is' with your spirit, brethren! Amen.

King James Version (KJV)

1 Ref Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

2 Ref Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

3 Ref For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

4 Ref But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

5 Ref For every man shall bear his own burden.

6 Ref Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

7 Ref Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

8 Ref For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

9 Ref And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

10 Ref As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

11 Ref Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.

12 Ref As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

13 Ref For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

14 Ref But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

15 Ref For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

16 Ref And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

17 Ref From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

18 Ref Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

World English Bible (WEB)

1 Ref Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren't tempted.

2 Ref Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

3 Ref For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

4 Ref But let each man test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.

5 Ref For each man will bear his own burden.

6 Ref But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

7 Ref Don't be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.

8 Ref For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

9 Ref Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up.

10 Ref So then, as we have opportunity, let's do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

11 Ref See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.

12 Ref As many as desire to look good in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

13 Ref For even they who receive circumcision don't keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.

14 Ref But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

15 Ref For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

16 Ref As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God's Israel.

17 Ref From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.

18 Ref The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
