New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be 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 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
|
2 Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
|
|
3 For if a man think himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
|
3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
|
|
4 But let every man put to the proof his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, 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 every man shall bear his own burden.
|
5 for each one should carry his own load.
|
|
6 Let him that is taught in the Word share with him that teacheth, in all good things.
|
6 Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.
|
|
7 Be not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
|
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
|
|
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
|
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 let us not be weary in welldoing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
|
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 As we therefore have opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto those who are of the household of 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 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
|
11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
|
|
12 As many as desire to make a fair showing in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
|
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 not even they themselves who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may 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 God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto 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 Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
|
15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.
|
|
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
|
16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God.
|
|
17 From henceforth let no man trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
|
17 Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
|
|
18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
|
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
