Galatians 6

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 And, brothers, if a man has been overtaken by any offense, you who are spiritual should instruct someone like this with a spirit of leniency, considering that you yourselves might also be tempted.	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 one another’s burdens, and so shall you fulfill the law of Christ.	2 Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For if anyone considers himself to be something, though he may be nothing, he deceives himself.	3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he is deluding himself.
4 So let each one prove his own work. And in this way, he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another.	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 For each one shall carry his own burden.	5 for each will bear his own load.
6 And let him who is being taught the Word discuss it with him who is teaching it to him, in every good way.	6 One who is being instructed in the word should share all good things with his instructor.
7 Do not choose to wander astray. God is not to be ridiculed.	7 Make no mistake: God is not mocked, for a person will reap only what he sows,
8 For whatever a man will have sown, that also shall he reap. For whoever sows in his flesh, from the flesh he shall also reap corruption. But whoever sows in the Spirit, from the Spirit he shall reap 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 so, let us not be deficient in doing good. For in due time, we shall reap without fail.	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 Therefore, while we have time, we should do good works toward everyone, and most of all toward those who are of 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 Consider what kind of letters I have written to you with my own hand.	11 See with what large letters I am writing to you in my own hand!
12 For as many of you as they desire to please in the flesh, they compel to be circumcised, but only so that they might not suffer the persecution of 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 And yet, neither do they themselves, who are circumcised, keep the law. Instead, they want you to be circumcised, so that they may glory in your flesh.	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 far be it from me to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is 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 For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails in any way, but instead there is a new creature.	15 For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision, but only a new creation.
16 And whoever follows this rule: may peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.	16 Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God.
17 Concerning other matters, let no one trouble me. For I carry the stigmata of the Lord Jesus in my body.	17 From now on, let no one make troubles for me; for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.
18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.	18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
