| 1 | Brothers and sisters, if a person is discovered in some sin, you who are spiritual restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness. Pay close attention to yourselves, so that you are not tempted too. | Brothers, 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. | Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. | |
| 2 | Carry one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. | Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. | Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. | |
| 3 | For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. | For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. | If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. | |
| 4 | Let each one examine his own work. Then he can take pride in himself and not compare himself with someone else. | But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. | Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, | |
| 5 | For each one will carry his own load. | For each will have to bear his own load. | for each one should carry their own load. | |
| 6 | Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it. | Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. | Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. | |
| 7 | Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows, | Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. | Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. | |
| 8 | because the person who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. | For 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. | Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. | |
| 9 | So we must not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up. | And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. | Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. | |
| 10 | So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith. | So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. | Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. | |
| 11 | See what big letters I make as I write to you with my own hand! | See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. | See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand! | |
| 12 | Those who want to make a good showing in external matters are trying to force you to be circumcised. They do so only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. | It 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. | Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. | |
| 13 | For those who are circumcised do not obey the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh. | For 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. | Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh. | |
| 14 | But 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. | But 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. | 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. | |
| 15 | For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; the only thing that matters is a new creation! | For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. | Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. | |
| 16 | And all who will behave in accordance with this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on the Israel of God. | And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. | Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to the Israel of God. | |
| 17 | From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body. | From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. | From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. | |
| 18 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen. | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen. | |
