| 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. | 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. |
| 2Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. | 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 nothing, he deceives himself. | 3If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. |
| 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. | 4Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else. |
| 5For each one will bear his own load. | 5For each one should carry his own load. |
| 6The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him. | 6Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor. |
| 7Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. | 7Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return. |
| 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. | 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 us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. | 9Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. |

| 11See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. | 11See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand! |
| 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. | 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. |
| 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. | 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 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. | 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 is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. | 15For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation. |
| 16And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. | 16Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God. |
| 17From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus. | 17From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. |
| 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen. | 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. |
