Gal.6.1

Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day's out.

Gal.6.1

Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.

Gal.6.1

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

Gal.6.1

Dear brothers and sisters, if another Christian is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.

Gal.6.2

Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ's law.

Gal.6.2

Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Gal.6.2

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Gal.6.2

Share each other's troubles and problems, and in this way obey the law of Christ.

Gal.6.3

If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.

Gal.6.3

If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Gal.6.3

For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Gal.6.3

If you think you are too important to help someone in need, you are only fooling yourself. You are really a nobody.

Gal.6.4

Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others.

Gal.6.4

Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else,

Gal.6.4

But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

Gal.6.4

Be sure to do what you should, for then you will enjoy the personal satisfaction of having done your work well, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else.

Gal.6.5

Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.

Gal.6.5

for each one should carry his own load.

Gal.6.5

For each one shall bear his own load.

Gal.6.5

For we are each responsible for our own conduct.

Gal.6.6

Be very sure now, you who have been trained to a self-sufficient maturity, that you enter into a generous common life with those who have trained you, sharing all the good things that you have and experience.

Gal.6.6

Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.

Gal.6.6

Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

Gal.6.6

Those who are taught the word of God should help their teachers by paying them.

Gal.6.7

Don't be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others--ignoring God!-

Gal.6.7

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

Gal.6.7

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Gal.6.7

Don't be misled. Remember that you can't ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow!

Gal.6.8

harvests a crop of weeds. All he'll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God's Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life.

Gal.6.8

The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Gal.6.8

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

Gal.6.8

Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful desires will harvest the consequences of decay and death. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.

Gal.6.9

So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit.

Gal.6.9

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Gal.6.9

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Gal.6.9

So don't get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time.

Gal.6.10

Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.

Gal.6.10

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Gal.6.10

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Gal.6.10

Whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone, especially to our Christian brothers and sisters.

Gal.6.11

Now, in these last sentences, I want to emphasize in the bold scrawls of my personal handwriting the immense importance of what I have written to you.

Gal.6.11

See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!

Gal.6.11

See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!

Gal.6.11

Notice what large letters I use as I write these closing words in my own handwriting.

Gal.6.12

These people who are attempting to force the ways of circumcision on you have only one motive: They want an easy way to look good before others, lacking the courage to live by a faith that shares Christ's suffering and death. All their talk about the law is gas.

Gal.6.12

Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.

Gal.6.12

As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

Gal.6.12

Those who are trying to force you to be circumcised are doing it for just one reason. They don't want to be persecuted for teaching that the cross of Christ alone can save.

Gal.6.13

They themselves don't keep the law! And they are highly selective in the laws they do observe. They only want you to be circumcised so they can boast of their success in recruiting you to their side. That is contemptible!

Gal.6.13

Not even those who are circumcised obey the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh.

Gal.6.13

For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

Gal.6.13

And even those who advocate circumcision don't really keep the whole law. They only want you to be circumcised so they can brag about it and claim you as their disciples.

Gal.6.14

For my part, I am going to boast about nothing but the Cross of our Master, Jesus Christ. Because of that Cross, I have been crucified in relation to the world, set free from the stifling atmosphere of pleasing others and fitting into the little patterns that they dictate.

Gal.6.14

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Gal.6.14

But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Gal.6.14

As for me, God forbid that I should boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world died long ago, and the world's interest in me is also long dead.

Gal.6.15

Can't you see the central issue in all this? It is not what you and I do--submit to circumcision, reject circumcision. It is what God is doing, and he is creating something totally new, a free life!

Gal.6.15

Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.

Gal.6.15

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.

Gal.6.15

It doesn't make any difference now whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we really have been changed into new and different people.

Gal.6.16

All who walk by this standard are the true Israel of God--his chosen people. Peace and mercy on them!

Gal.6.16

Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God.

Gal.6.16

And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

Gal.6.16

May God's mercy and peace be upon all those who live by this principle. They are the new people of God.

Gal.6.17

Quite frankly, I don't want to be bothered anymore by these disputes. I have far more important things to do--the serious living of this faith. I bear in my body scars from my service to Jesus.

Gal.6.17

Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

Gal.6.17

From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

Gal.6.17

From now on, don't let anyone trouble me with these things. For I bear on my body the scars that show I belong to Jesus.

Gal.6.18

May what our Master Jesus Christ gives freely be deeply and personally yours, my friends. Oh, yes!

Gal.6.18

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

Gal.6.18

Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Gal.6.18

My dear brothers and sisters, may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
