New Living Translation
New King James 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 himself to be 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 examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them.
Be Generous and Do Good
Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.
Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him 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 a man sows, that he will 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 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.
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 while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone — especially to those in the family of faith.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, 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.
Glory Only in the Cross
See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!
See with what large letters I have written 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.
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.
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 not even those who are circumcised 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 in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.
Blessing and a Plea
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
And as many as walk according to 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 trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
