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.
1
Achim B’Moshiach, if indeed a man is overtaken in some averah, you ones with ruchniyus restore such a one in a spirit of anavah (meekness), watching out for yourself lest also you come under nisayon (temptation).
2 Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.
2
Bear one another’s burdens (TEHILLIM 55:23) and thus you will fulfill the Torah of Moshiach.
3 For if a man has an idea that he is something when he is nothing, he is tricked by himself.
3
For if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives 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.
4
But let each man prove his own ma’aseh and then in his own ma’asim rather than in that of his re’a (neighbor) he will find kavod.
5 Because every man is responsible for his part of the work.
5
For each man must bear his own load.
6 But let him who gets teaching in the word give a part in all good things to his teacher.
6
And let the one being taught limudei kodesh (sacred studies) in the Kitvei HaKodesh share in all good things with his rabbinic moreh (2Ti3:14-15).
7 Be not tricked; God is not made sport of: for whatever seed a man puts in, that will he get back as grain.
7
Do not be led astray. Hashem is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, this also he will reap.
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.
8
For the one sowing to the basar of himself, of the basar will reap churban (destruction); but the one sowing to the Ruach HaKodesh, of the Ruach HaKodesh will reap Chayyei Olam.
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.
9
Now let us not lose chozek in doing Gemilut Chasadim, for BE’ITO ("in its season" TEHILLIM 1:3) we will reap, if we faint not.
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.
10
Therefore, then, as we have opportunity, we should do ma’asim tovim towards all, and especially towards the Bnei Beis HaEmunah.
11 See the size of the handwriting which I myself have made use of in writing to you.
11
SEE WITH WHAT GROISE LETTERS I WROTE TO YOU WITH MY OWN HAND.
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.
12
As many as crave to be good preeners in the basar (Ro 2:29), these compel you (Goyim) to undergo bris milah; they (the mohalim of Goyim) do so only to avoid suffering redifah (persecution) for the Etz of Moshiach (DEVARIM 21:23).
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.
13
For not even those of the party of the bris milah are shomer mitzvot themselves; they (the mohalim of Goyim) want you (Goyim) to undergo bris milah for the purpose of boasting in your basar!
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.
14
But may it not be to me to boast, except in HaEtz HaMoshiach (DEVARIM 21:23) Yehoshua Adoneinu, through whom the Olam Hazeh has become nevelah talui al HaEtz (corpse hanging on the tree DEVARIM 21:23) to me, and I have become a nevelah talui al HaEtz (corpse hanging on the tree) to the Olam Hazeh.
15 For having circumcision is nothing, and not having circumcision is nothing, but only a new order of existence.
15
For neither bris milah is anything, nor fehlt (the lacking) of bris milah, but a Bri’a Chadasha (New Creation).
16 And on all who are guided by this rule be peace and mercy, and on the Israel of God.
16
And as many as stay in line with the Derech HaYashar (Straight Way) of these divrei torah, Shalom Hashem and Chesed Hashem be upon them, and upon the Yisroel of Hashem [See Ro 2:28-29].
17 From this time on let no man be a trouble to me; because my body is marked with the marks of Jesus.
17
For the rest, let no one give me any more tzoros; for I bear in my basar the chabburot haYehoshua (wounds, stripes of Yehoshua YESHAYEH 53:5).
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. So be it.
18
Achim B’Moshiach, the Chen v’Chesed Hashem of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu be with your neshamah. Omein.
