Galatians 6

NEW JERUSALEM	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
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 Brothers, even if a person is caught in some transgression, you who are spiritual should correct that one in a gentle spirit, looking to yourself, so that you also may not be tempted.
2 Carry each other's burdens; that is how to keep the law of Christ.	2 Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.
3 Someone who thinks himself important, when he is not, only deceives himself;	3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he is deluding 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 Each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast with regard to himself alone, and not with regard to someone else;
5 Each one has his own load to carry.	5 for each will bear his own load.
6 When someone is under instruction in doctrine, he should give his teacher a share in al hispossessions.	6 One who is being instructed in the word should share all good things with his instructor.
7 Don't delude yourself: God is not to be fooled; whatever someone sows, that is what he wil reap.	7 Make no mistake: God is not mocked, for a person will reap only what he sows,
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 because the one who sows for his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows for the spirit will reap eternal life from the spirit.
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 Let us not grow tired of doing good, for in due time we shall reap our harvest, if we do not give up.
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 So then, while we have the opportunity, let us do good to all, but especially to those who belong to the family of the faith.
11 Notice what large letters I have used in writing to you with my own hand.	11 See with what large letters I am writing to you in 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 It is those who want to make a good appearance in the flesh who are trying to compel you to have yourselves circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for 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 Not even those having themselves circumcised observe the law themselves; they only want you to be circumcised so that they may boast of 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 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 It is not being circumcised or uncircumcised that matters; but what matters is a new creation.	15 For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision, but only a new creation.
16 Peace and mercy to al who fol ow this as their rule and to the Israel of God.	16 Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God.
17 After this, let no one trouble me; I carry branded on my body the marks of Jesus.	17 From now on, let no one make troubles for me; for I bear the marks of Jesus on 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, brothers. Amen.
