Montgomery - Galatians - 6

6:1  Even if any one should be overtaken in a fault, brothers, you that are spiritual ought, in a gentle spirit, to restore such a one, each one of you looking to himself, lest you too be tempted.

6:2  Ever be bearing one another’s burdens, and so be fulfilling the law of Christ.

6:3  If a man fancies himself to be somebody when he is really nobody he is deceiving himself.

6:4  Let each one test his own work, and he will then have something to be proud of by comparing himself with himself, and not with any one else;

6:5  for every one must carry his own pack load.

6:6  He, however, who is being taught in the message, should always share with his instructor in all the good things which he possesses.

6:7  Be not deceived. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.

6:8  The man who is sowing to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption; but he who is sowing to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap life eternal.

6:9  And let us not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.

6:10  So then, as we have opportunity, let is do good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of faith.

6:11  See with what large letters I have written to you in my own handwriting!

6:12  Those who are trying to compel you to be circumcised are such as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

6:13  Even those who are being circumcised, are not themselves keeping the Law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may glory in your flesh.

6:14  God forbid that I should glory in anything except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world has been crucified to me and I have been crucified to the world.

6:15  For in Jesus Christ neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

6:16  On all who will govern their lives by this rule and on the Israel of God may peace and mercy rest.

6:17  From this time forth let no one trouble me, for I bear branded in my body the marks of Jesus, my Master.

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