Galatians 6

Authored by: American Standard Version
6:1
Αδελφοι εαν και προλημφθη ανθρωπος εν τινι παραπτωματι υμεις οι πνευματικοι καταρτιζετε τον τοιουτον εν πνευματι πραυτητος σκοπων σεαυτον μη και συ πειρασθης
Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
6:2
Αλληλων τα βαρη βασταζετε και ουτως αναπληρωσετε τον νομον του Χριστου
Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
1
6:3
ει γαρ δοκει τις ειναι τι μηδεν ων φρεναπατα εαυτον
For if a man thinketh himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
6:4
Το δε εργον εαυτου δοκιμαζετω εκαστος και τοτε εις εαυτον μονον το καυχημα εξει και ουκ εις τον ετερον
But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of his neighbor.
6:5
εκαστος γαρ το ιδιον φορτιον βαστασει
For each man shall bear his own burden.
6:6
Κοινωνειτω δε ο κατηχουμενος τον λογον τω κατηχουντι εν πασιν αγαθοις
But let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
6:7
Μη πλανασθε Θεος ου μυκτηριζεται ο γαρ εαν σπειρη ανθρωπος τουτο και θερισει
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
6:8
οτι ο σπειρων εις την σαρκα εαυτου εκ της σαρκος θερισει φθοραν ο δε σπειρων εις το Πνευμα εκ του Πνευματος θερισει ζωην αιωνιον
For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life.
6:9
Το δε καλον ποιουντες μη ενκακωμεν καιρω γαρ ιδιω θερισομεν μη εκλυομενοι
And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
6:10
Αρα ουν ως καιρον εχομεν εργαζωμεθα το αγαθον προς παντας μαλιστα δε προς τους οικειους της πιστεως
So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith.
6:11
Ιδετε πηλικοις υμιν γραμμασιν εγραψα τη εμη χειρι
See with how large letters I write unto you with mine own hand.
6:12
Οσοι θελουσιν ευπροσωπησαι εν σαρκι ουτοι αναγκαζουσιν υμας περιτεμνεσθαι μονον ινα τω σταυρω του Χριστου μη διωκωνται
As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
6:13
ουδε γαρ οι περιτεμνομενοι αυτοι νομον φυλασσουσιν αλλα θελουσιν υμας περιτεμνεσθαι ινα εν τη υμετερα σαρκι καυχησωνται
For not even they who receive circumcision do themselves keep the law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
6:14
Εμοι δε μη γενοιτο καυχασθαι ει μη εν τω σταυρω του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου δι ου εμοι κοσμος εσταυρωται καγω κοσμω
But far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
6:15
ουτε γαρ περιτομη τι εστιν ουτε ακροβυστια αλλα καινη κτισις
For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
6:16
Και οσοι τω κανονι τουτω στοιχησουσιν ειρηνη επ αυτους και ελεος και επι τον Ισραηλ του Θεου
And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
6:17
Του λοιπου κοπους μοι μηδεις παρεχετω εγω γαρ τα στιγματα του Ιησου εν τω σωματι μου βασταζω
Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear branded on my body the marks of Jesus.
6:18
Η χαρις του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου μετα του πνευματος υμων αδελφοι Αμην
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

Law reframed around mutual support

'Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ' reframes the entire concept of law around mutual support rather than individual rule-following. The chapter also warns plainly that 'whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap,' a...
