New Living Translation
English Standard Version
Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.
For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.
But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.
Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them.
Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches.
Don’t be misled — you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone — especially to those in the family of faith.
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Paul’s Final Advice
Notice what large letters I use as I write these closing words in my own handwriting.
Final Warning and Benediction
See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
Those who are trying to force you to be circumcised want to look good to others. They don’t want to be persecuted for teaching that the cross of Christ alone can save.
It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
And even those who advocate circumcision don’t keep the whole law themselves. They only want you to be circumcised so they can boast about it and claim you as their disciples.
For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation.
For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
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.
From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
