GÁLATAS 6

La ley de Cristo. La ayuda mutua

1 Hermanos, si alguno incurre en falta, ustedes, los animados por el Espíritu, corríjanlo con amabilidad. Y manténganse todos sobre aviso, porque nadie está libre de ser puesto a prueba.t 2 Ayúdense mutuamente a soportar las dificultades, y así cumplirán la ley de Cristo.t 3 Si alguno se figura ser algo, cuando en realidad no es nada, se engaña a sí mismo.t 4 Que cada uno examine su propia conducta y sea la suya, sin compararla con la del prójimo, la que le proporcione motivos de satisfacción,t 5 pues cada uno debe llevar su propia cargat. 6 Por su parte, el que recibe instrucción en la fe, debe compartir todos sus bienes con el que lo instruye.t 7 No se hagan ilusiones: de Dios no se burla nadie. Lo que cada uno haya sembrado, eso cosechará.t 8 Quien siembre para satisfacer sus apetitos desordenados, de ellos cosechará frutos de muerte; mas quien siembre para agradar al Espíritu, el Espíritu le dará una cosecha de vida eterna. 9 No nos cansemos de hacer el bien ya que, si no desfallecemos, a su tiempo recogeremos la cosecha.

10 En una palabra, aprovechemos cualquier oportunidadt para hacer el bien a todos, y especialmente a los hermanos en la fe.

Galatians 6

Support One Another

1 Brothers and sisters,t if a persont is discovered in some sin,t you who are spirituals restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness.t Pay close attentiont to yourselves, so that you are not tempted too.2 Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.4 Let each one examinet his own work. Then he can take pridet in himself and not compare himself witht someone else.

5 For each one will carryt his own load.
6 Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teachest it.7 Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool.t For a persont will reap what he sows,8 because the person who sows to his own flesht will reap corruptiont from the flesh,t but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.9 So we must not grow wearyt in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.t

10 So then,t whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith.t

Final Instructions and Benediction

11 See what big letters I make as I write to you with my own hand!
12 Those who want to make a good showing in external matterst are trying to force you to be circumcised. They do sot only to avoid being persecuteds for the cross of Christ.13 For those who are circumcised do not obey the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh.t14 But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whicht the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.15 Fors neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts fort anything; the only thing that matters is a new creation!t

16 And all who will behavet in accordance with this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on the Israel of God.t

17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.t

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ bet with your spirit, brothers and sisters.t Amen.
