Galatians 6

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Brothers, if a man is taken in any wrongdoing, you who are of the Spirit will put such a one right in a spirit of love; keeping watch on yourself, for fear that you yourself may be tested.

2 Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.

3 For if a man has an idea that he is something when he is nothing, he is tricked by himself.

4 But let every man make test of his work, and then will his cause for glory be in himself only, and not in his neighbour.

5 Because every man is responsible for his part of the work.

6 But let him who gets teaching in the word give a part in all good things to his teacher.

7 Be not tricked; God is not made sport of: for whatever seed a man puts in, that will he get back as grain.

8 Because he who puts in the seed of the flesh will of the flesh get the reward of death; but he who puts in the seed of the Spirit will of the Spirit get the reward of eternal life.

9 And let us not get tired of well-doing; for at the right time we will get in the grain, if we do not give way to weariness.

10 So then, as we have the chance, let us do good to all men, and specially to those who are of the family of the faith.

11 See the size of the handwriting which I myself have made use of in writing to you.

12 Those who have the desire to seem important in the flesh, put force on you to undergo circumcision; only that they may not be attacked because of the cross of Christ.

13 Because even those who undergo circumcision do not themselves keep the law; but they would have you undergo circumcision, so that they may have glory in your flesh.

14 But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it.

15 For having circumcision is nothing, and not having circumcision is nothing, but only a new order of existence.

16 And on all who are guided by this rule be peace and mercy, and on the Israel of God.

17 From this time on let no man be a trouble to me; because my body is marked with the marks of Jesus.

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. So be it.

Good News Translation GNT

1 My friends, if someone is caught in any kind of wrongdoing, those of you who are spiritual should set him right; but you must do it in a gentle way. And keep an eye on yourselves, so that you will not be tempted, too.

2 Help carry one another's burdens, and in this way you will obey the law of Christ.

3 If you think you are something when you really are nothing, you are only deceiving yourself.

4 You should each judge your own conduct. If it is good, then you can be proud of what you yourself have done, without having to compare it with what someone else has done.

5 For each of you have to carry your own load.

6 If you are being taught the Christian message, you should share all the good things you have with your teacher.

7 Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. You will reap exactly what you plant.

8 If you plant in the field of your natural desires, from it you will gather the harvest of death; if you plant in the field of the Spirit, from the Spirit you will gather the harvest of eternal life.

9 So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest.

10 So then, as often as we have the chance, we should do good to everyone, and especially to those who belong to our family in the faith.

11 See what big letters I make as I write to you now with my own hand!

12 The people who are trying to force you to be circumcised are the ones who want to show off and boast about external matters. They do it, however, only so that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

13 Even those who practice circumcision do not obey the Law; they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast that you submitted to this physical ceremony.

14 As for me, however, I will boast only about the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; for by means of his cross the world is dead to me, and I am dead to the world.

15 It does not matter at all whether or not one is circumcised; what does matter is being a new creature.

16 As for those who follow this rule in their lives, may peace and mercy be with them - with them and with all of God's people!

17 To conclude: let no one give me any more trouble, because the scars I have on my body show that I am the slave of Jesus.

18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, my friends. Amen.
