1 Brothers, if a man is taken in any wrongdoing, you who are of the Spirit will put such a one right in a spirit of love; keeping watch on yourself, for fear that you yourself may be tested.

1 ἀδελφοί, ἐὰν καὶ προλημφθῇ ἄνθρωπος ἔν τινι παραπτώματι, ὑμεῖς οἱ πνευματικοὶ καταρτίζετε τὸν τοιοῦτον ἐν πνεύματι πραΰτητος, σκοπῶν σεαυτόν, μὴ καὶ σὺ πειρασθῇς.

2 Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.

2 ἀλλήλων τὰ βάρη βαστάζετε, καὶ οὕτως ἀναπληρώσετε τὸν νόμον τοῦ χριστοῦ.

3 For if a man has an idea that he is something when he is nothing, he is tricked by himself.

3 εἰ γὰρ δοκεῖ τις εἶναί τι μηδὲν ὤν, φρεναπατᾷ ἑαυτόν·

4 But let every man make test of his work, and then will his cause for glory be in himself only, and not in his neighbour.

4 τὸ δὲ ἔργον ἑαυτοῦ δοκιμαζέτω ἕκαστος, καὶ τότε εἰς ἑαυτὸν μόνον τὸ καύχημα ἕξει καὶ οὐκ εἰς τὸν ἕτερον·

5 Because every man is responsible for his part of the work.

5 ἕκαστος γὰρ τὸ ἴδιον φορτίον βαστάσει.

6 But let him who gets teaching in the word give a part in all good things to his teacher.

6 κοινωνείτω δὲ ὁ κατηχούμενος τὸν λόγον τῶ κατηχοῦντι ἐν πᾶσιν ἀγαθοῖς.

7 Be not tricked; God is not made sport of: for whatever seed a man puts in, that will he get back as grain.

7 μὴ πλανᾶσθε, θεὸς οὐ μυκτηρίζεται· ὃ γὰρ ἐὰν σπείρῃ ἄνθρωπος, τοῦτο καὶ θερίσει·

8 Because he who puts in the seed of the flesh will of the flesh get the reward of death; but he who puts in the seed of the Spirit will of the Spirit get the reward of eternal life.

8 ὅτι ὁ σπείρων εἰς τὴν σάρκα ἑαυτοῦ ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς θερίσει φθοράν, ὁ δὲ σπείρων εἰς τὸ πνεῦμα ἐκ τοῦ πνεύματος θερίσει ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

9 And let us not get tired of well-doing; for at the right time we will get in the grain, if we do not give way to weariness.

9 τὸ δὲ καλὸν ποιοῦντες μὴ ἐγκακῶμεν, καιρῶ γὰρ ἰδίῳ θερίσομεν μὴ ἐκλυόμενοι.

10 So then, as we have the chance, let us do good to all men, and specially to those who are of the family of the faith.

10 ἄρα οὗν ὡς καιρὸν ἔχομεν, ἐργαζώμεθα τὸ ἀγαθὸν πρὸς πάντας, μάλιστα δὲ πρὸς τοὺς οἰκείους τῆς πίστεως.

11 See the size of the handwriting which I myself have made use of in writing to you.

11 ἴδετε πηλίκοις ὑμῖν γράμμασιν ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί.

12 Those who have the desire to seem important in the flesh, put force on you to undergo circumcision; only that they may not be attacked because of the cross of Christ.

12 ὅσοι θέλουσιν εὐπροσωπῆσαι ἐν σαρκί, οὖτοι ἀναγκάζουσιν ὑμᾶς περιτέμνεσθαι, μόνον ἵνα τῶ σταυρῶ τοῦ χριστοῦ μὴ διώκωνται·

13 Because even those who undergo circumcision do not themselves keep the law; but they would have you undergo circumcision, so that they may have glory in your flesh.

13 οὐδὲ γὰρ οἱ περιτεμνόμενοι αὐτοὶ νόμον φυλάσσουσιν, ἀλλὰ θέλουσιν ὑμᾶς περιτέμνεσθαι ἵνα ἐν τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ σαρκὶ καυχήσωνται.

14 But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it.

14 ἐμοὶ δὲ μὴ γένοιτο καυχᾶσθαι εἰ μὴ ἐν τῶ σταυρῶ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, δι᾽ οὖ ἐμοὶ κόσμος ἐσταύρωται κἀγὼ κόσμῳ.

15 For having circumcision is nothing, and not having circumcision is nothing, but only a new order of existence.

15 οὔτε γὰρ περιτομή τί ἐστιν οὔτε ἀκροβυστία, ἀλλὰ καινὴ κτίσις.

16 And on all who are guided by this rule be peace and mercy, and on the Israel of God.

16 καὶ ὅσοι τῶ κανόνι τούτῳ στοιχήσουσιν, εἰρήνη ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔλεος, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ἰσραὴλ τοῦ θεοῦ.

17 From this time on let no man be a trouble to me; because my body is marked with the marks of Jesus.

17 τοῦ λοιποῦ κόπους μοι μηδεὶς παρεχέτω, ἐγὼ γὰρ τὰ στίγματα τοῦ ἰησοῦ ἐν τῶ σώματί μου βαστάζω.

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. So be it.

18 ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματος ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί· ἀμήν.
