New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who [are] spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself -- lest thou also may 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 of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,
|
2 Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
|
|
3 for if any one doth think [himself] to be something -- being nothing -- himself he doth deceive;
|
3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
|
|
4 and his own work let each one prove, and then in regard to himself alone the glorying he shall have, and not in regard to the other,
|
4 Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else,
|
|
5 for each one his own burden shall bear.
|
5 for each one should carry his own load.
|
|
6 And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing -- in all good things.
|
6 Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.
|
|
7 Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow -- that also he shall reap,
|
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
|
|
8 because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during;
|
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 in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding;
|
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, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household 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 Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand;
|
11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
|
|
12 as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,
|
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 do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory.
|
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 And for me, let it not be -- to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, 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 Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;
|
15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.
|
|
16 and as many as by this rule do walk -- peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God!
|
16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God.
|
|
17 Henceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body do bear.
|
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 [is] with your spirit, brethren! Amen.
|
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
