| 1Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. | 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. |
| 2Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. | 2Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. |
| 3For if anyone thinks himself to be 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 examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. | 4But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. |
| 5For each one shall bear his own load. | 5For each will have to bear his own load. |
| 6Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. | 6Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. |
| 7Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. | 7Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. |
| 8For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting 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 while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. | 9And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. |
| 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. | 10So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. |
| 11See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand! | 11See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. |
| 12As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. | 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. |
| 13For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. | 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. |
| 14But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. | 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. |
| 15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. | 15For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. |
| 16And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. | 16And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. |
| 17From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. | 17From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. |
| 18Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. | 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. |
