ISV - Galatians - 6

6:1  Help Each OtherBrothers, if a person is caught doing something wrong, those of you who are spiritual should restore that person in a spirit of gentleness. Watch out for yourself so that you are not tempted as well.

6:2  Practice carrying each other's burdens. In this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

6:3  For if anyone thinks he is something when he is really nothing, he is only fooling himself.

6:4  Each person must approve his own actions, and then he can boast about his own accomplishments and not those of his neighbor.

6:5  For everyone must carry his own load.

6:6  The person who is taught the word should share all his goods with his teacher.

6:7  Stop beingOr Do not be deceived; God is not to be ridiculed. A person harvests whatever he plants.

6:8  For the person who plants in his flesh will harvest decay from the flesh, but the person who plants in the Spirit will harvest eternal life from the Spirit.

6:9  Let us not get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest—if we do not give up.

6:10  So then, whenever we have the opportunity, let us practice doing good to everyone, especially to the family of faith.

6:11  A Final Warning Against CircumcisionLook at how large these letters are because I am writing with my own hand!

6:12  These people who want to impress others by their flesh are trying to force you to be circumcised, simply to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.

6:13  Why, not even those who are circumcised obey the law! They simply want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh.

6:14  But may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world!

6:15  For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters. Rather, what matters is beingThe Gk. lacks what matters is being a new creation.

6:16  Now may peace be on all those who live by this principle, and may mercy be on the Israel of God.

6:17  From now on let no one make trouble for me, for I carry the scars of Jesus on my own body.

6:18  Final GreetingMay the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers! Amen.
