New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 Brethren, if a man be occupied in any guilt, ye that be spiritual, inform ye such one in spirit of softness, beholding thyself, lest that thou be tempted. [+Brethren, and if a man be before occupied, or overcome, in any guilt, or trespass, ye that be spiritual, teach such a manner man in the spirit of softness, or meekness, beholding thyself, that and thou be not tempted.]
|
1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
|
|
2 Each bear other's charges [Bear ye the charges the tother of the tother, or each of other], and so ye shall fulfill the law of Christ.
|
2 Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
|
|
3 For who that troweth that he be aught, when he is nought, he beguileth himself. [For why if any man guesseth himself to be aught, when he is nought, he deceiveth himself.]
|
3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
|
|
4 But each man prove his own work, and so he shall have glory [only] in himself, and not in another.
|
4 Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else,
|
|
5 For each man shall bear his own charge.
|
5 for each one should carry his own load.
|
|
6 He that is taught in word, commune he with him that teacheth him, in all goods. [Forsooth he that is taught by word, commune to him that teacheth him, in all good things.]
|
6 Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.
|
|
7 Do not ye err, God is not scorned; for those things that a man soweth, those things he shall reap [for why what things a man soweth, also these things he shall reap].
|
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
|
|
8 For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh he shall reap corruption; but he that soweth in the Spirit, of the Spirit he shall reap everlasting life.
|
8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
|
|
9 And doing good fail we not [Forsooth we doing good, fail not]; for in his time we shall reap, not failing.
|
9 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 Therefore while we have time, work we good to all men; but most to them that be the home of the faith [but most to the household members of the faith].
|
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
|
|
11 See ye, what manner letters I have written to you with mine own hand.
|
11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
|
|
12 For whoever will please in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised, only that they suffer not the persecution of Christ's cross.
|
12 Those who want to make a good impression outwardly 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 neither they that be circumcised keep the law; but they will that ye be circumcised, that they have glory in your flesh [but they will you to be circumcised, that they glory in your flesh].
|
13 Not even those who are circumcised obey the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh.
|
|
14 But far be it from me to have glory [Forsooth be it far to me to glory], but in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
|
14 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 Jesus Christ neither circumcision is any thing worth, nor prepuce, but a new creature.
|
15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.
|
|
16 And whoever follow this rule, peace on them, and mercy, and on Israel of God [peace upon them, and mercy, and upon Israel of God].
|
16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God.
|
|
17 And hereafter no man be heavy to me; for I bear in my body the tokens of our Lord Jesus Christ. [From henceforth, no man be heavy to me; forsooth I bear in my body the tokens, or wounds, of our Lord Jesus Christ.]
|
17 Finally, 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, brethren. Amen.
|
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
