NEW JERUSALEMDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Brothers, even if one of you is caught doing something wrong, those of you who are spiritual should setthat person right in a spirit of gentleness; and watch yourselves that you are not put to the test in the same way.1 Brethren, and if a man be overtaken in any fault, you, who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Carry each other's burdens; that is how to keep the law of Christ.2 Bear ye one another's burdens; and so you shall fulfil the law of Christ.
3 Someone who thinks himself important, when he is not, only deceives himself;3 For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4 but everyone is to examine his own achievements, and then he wil confine his boasting to his ownachievements, not comparing them with anybody else's.4 But let every one prove his own work, and so he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another.
5 Each one has his own load to carry.5 For every one shall bear his own burden.
6 When someone is under instruction in doctrine, he should give his teacher a share in al hispossessions.6 And let him that is instructed in the word, communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things.
7 Don't delude yourself: God is not to be fooled; whatever someone sows, that is what he wil reap.7 Be not deceived, God is not mocked.
8 If his sowing is in the field of self-indulgence, then his harvest from it wil be corruption; if his sowing is inthe Spirit, then his harvest from the Spirit wil be eternal life.8 For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting.
9 And let us never slacken in doing good; for if we do not give up, we shal have our harvest in due time.9 And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing.
10 So then, as long as we have the opportunity let al our actions be for the good of everybody, andespecial y of those who belong to the household of the faith.10 Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
11 Notice what large letters I have used in writing to you with my own hand.11 See what a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
12 It is those who want to cut a figure by human standards who force circumcision on you, simply so thatthey will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.12 For as many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ.
13 Even though they are circumcised they stil do not keep the Law themselves; they want you to becircumcised only so that they can boast of your outward appearance.13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised, keep the law; but they will have you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14 But as for me, it is out of the question that I should boast at al , except of the cross of our Lord JesusChrist, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 It is not being circumcised or uncircumcised that matters; but what matters is a new creation.15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 Peace and mercy to al who fol ow this as their rule and to the Israel of God.16 And whosoever shall follow this rule, peace on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 After this, let no one trouble me; I carry branded on my body the marks of Jesus.17 From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me; for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, my brothers. Amen.18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
