Galatians 6 - Disciples’ Literal New Testament (DLNT)

6 1 Brothers, even[a] if a person is overtaken[b] in some trespass, you spiritual ones be restoring[c] such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking-out-for yourself that you also not be tempted. 2 Be carrying one another’s burdens[d], and in this manner you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks that he is something while being nothing, he is deceiving himself.

Each Person Has a Boast Only With Reference To His Own Proven Work

4 But let each one prove[e] his own work— and then he will have the boast with reference to himself alone, and not with reference to the other person. 5 For each one will carry his own load[f].

We Will Reap What We Sow. Plant Good Works To Reap a Good Harvest

6 And let the one being instructed-in the word share with the one instructing in all good things. 7 Do not be deceived— God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows, this he will also reap. 8 Because the one sowing to his own flesh will reap decay from the flesh. But the one sowing to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. 9 And let us not grow-weary while doing good. For in His own time we not losing-heart[g] will reap. 10 So then, while we have[h] opportunity[i], let us be working good to everyone, but especially to the family-members of the faith.

Those Wanting Your Circumcision Are Seeking To Boast In Your Flesh, Not To Keep The Law

11 See with what large letters I wrote to you with my own hand! 12 All who want to make-a-good-showing[j] in the flesh— these ones are compelling you to receive-circumcision only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For not even the ones receiving-circumcision themselves are keeping the Law. But they want you to receive-circumcision in order that they might boast in your flesh.

I Will Boast Only In The Cross of Christ. Peace Be Upon All Who Do The Same

14 But for me, may it never be that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which[k] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything, but a new creation. 16 And all who will walk-in-line with this standard[l]— peace and mercy be upon them, and[m] upon the Israel of God. 17 Henceforth[n] let no one be causing troubles for me. For I bear the brand-marks[o] of Jesus on my body.

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