Galaterne 6

1 Brødre! dersom og et Menneske bliver overilet af nogen Brøst, da hjælper ham tilrette, I Aandelige! med Sagtmodigheds Aand; men see til dig selv, at ikke og du bliver fristet.2 Bærer hverandres Byrde, og opfylder saaledes Christi Lov.3 Thi dersom Nogen tykkes sig at være Noget, og er dog Intet, han bedrager sig selv.4 Men hver prøve sin egen Gjerning, og da skal han have Roes for sig selv alene, og ikke for Andre;5 thi hver skal bære sin egen Byrde.6 Men den, som undervises i ordet skal dele alt Godt med den, som ham underviser.7 Farer ikke vild; Gud lader sig ikke spotte; thi hvad et Menneske saaer, dette skal han og høste.8 Thi hvo som saaer i sit Kjød, skal høste Forkrænkelse af Kjødet; men hvo som saaer i Aanden, skal høste det evige Liv af Aanden.9 Men naar vi gjøre det Gode, lader os ikke blive trætte; thi vi skulle og høste i sin Tid, saafremt vi ikke forsage.10 Derfor, eftersom vi have Leilighed, lader os gjøre det Gode mod Alle, men meest mod Troens Egne.11 Seer, hvilket langt Brev jeg har skrevet Eder til med min egen Haand.12 De, som ville have Anseelse efter Kjødet, tvinge Eder til at omskæres, alene paa det de ikke skulle forfølges formedelst Christi Kors.13 Thi end ikke de Omskaarne holde selv Loven; men de ville, at I skulle omskæres, paa det de kunne rose sig af Eders Kjød.14 Men det være langt fra mig at rose mig, uden at vor Herrens Jesu Christi Kors, formedelst hvem Verden er mig korsfæstet, og jeg Verden.15 Thi i Christus Jesus gjælder hverken Omskærelse eller Forhud Noget, men en ny Skabning.16 Og saa Mange, som gaae frem efter denne Regel, over dem, være Fred og Barmhjertighed, og over Guds Israel.17 Iøvrigt volde Ingen mig Besvær; thi jeg bærer den Herrens Jesu Mærketegn paa mit Legeme.18 Vor Herrens Jesu Christi Naade være med Eders Aand, Brødre! Amen.

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.
