| 1Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. | 1Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. |
| 2Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. | 2Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. |
| 3For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. | 3For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. |
| 4But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. | 4But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another. |
| 5For each will have to bear his own load. | 5For each one will bear his own load. |
| 6Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. | 6The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him. |
| 7Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. | 7Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. |
| 8For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. | 8For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. |
| 9And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. | 9Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. |
| 10So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. | 10So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith. |
| 11See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. | 11See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. |
| 12It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. | 12Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. |
| 13For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. | 13For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh. |
| 14But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. | 14But may it never be that I would 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 counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. | 15For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. |
| 16And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. | 16And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. |
| 17From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. | 17From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus. |
| 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. | 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen. |
