New International Version NIV
New King James Version NKJV
1 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.
1
Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.
2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
2
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves.
3
For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else,
4
But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5 for each one should carry their own load.
5
For each one shall bear his own load.
6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
6
Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
7
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
8
For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
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.
9
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
10
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
11
See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!
12 Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
12
As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.
13
For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
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.
14
But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation.
15
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.
16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to the Israel of God.
16
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
17 From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
17
From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
18
Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
