加拉太書 6
各人的重擔要互相擔當
1 弟兄們,若有人偶然被過犯所勝,你們屬靈的人就要用溫柔的心把他挽回過來;自己也要留意,免得也被引誘。 2 你們各人的重擔要互相擔當,這樣就會成全t基督的律法。 3 人若沒有甚麼了不起,還自以為了不起的,就是自欺。 4 各人要省察自己的行為;這樣,他所誇口的只在自己,而不在別人。 5 因為人人必須擔當自己的擔子。 6 在真道上受教的,要把一切美好的東西與施教的人分享。 7 不要自欺;上帝是輕慢不得的,因為人種的是甚麼,收的也是甚麼。 8 順著肉體撒種的,必從肉體收敗壞;順著聖靈撒種的,必從聖靈收永生。 9 我們行善不可喪志,因為若不灰心,到了適當的時候就有收成。 10 所以,一有機會就要向眾人行善,向信徒一家的人更要這樣。
警告和祝福
11 你們看我親手寫給你們的字是何等的大! 12 那些想要炫耀外表的人才勉強你們受割禮,無非是怕自己為基督的十字架受迫害。 13 他們那些受割禮的,連自己也不守律法;他們要你們受割禮,不過是要拿你們的肉體誇口。 14 但我絕不以別的誇口,只誇我們主耶穌基督的十字架;因這十字架t,就我而論,世界已經釘在十字架上;就世界而論,我已經釘在十字架上。 15 受割禮或不受割禮都無關緊要,要緊的就是作新造的人。 16 凡照這準則行的人,願平安t憐憫,加給他們,和上帝的以色列民。
17 從今以後,不要有人再攪擾我,因為我身上帶著耶穌的印記。
18 弟兄們,願我們主耶穌基督的恩與你們的靈同在。阿們!
GALATIANS 6
Help Each Other
1 My friends, you are spiritual. So if someone is trapped in sin, you should gently lead that person back to the right path. But watch out, and don't be tempted yourself.
2 You obey the law of Christ when you offer each other a helping hand.
3 If you think you are better than others, when you really aren't, you are wrong. 4 Do your own work well, and then you will have something to be proud of. But don't compare yourself with others.
5 We each must carry our own load.
6 Share every good thing you have with anyone who teaches you what God has said.
7 You cannot fool God, so don't make a fool of yourself! You will harvest what you plant. 8 If you follow your selfish desires, you will harvest destruction, but if you follow the Spirit, you will harvest eternal life. 9 Don't get tired of helping others. You will be rewarded when the time is right, if you don't give up.
10 We should help people whenever we can, especially if they are followers of the Lord.Final Warnings
11 You can see what big letters I make when I write with my own hand.
12 Those people who are telling you to get circumcised are only trying to show how important they are. And they don't want to get into trouble for preaching about the cross of Christ. 13 They are circumcised, but they don't obey the Law of Moses. All they want is to brag about having you circumcised.
14 But I will never brag about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of his cross, the world is dead as far as I am concerned, and I am dead as far as the world is concerned.
15 It doesn't matter if you are circumcised or not. All that matters is that you are a new person.
16 If you follow this rule, you will belong to God's true people. God will treat you with undeserved kindness and will bless you with peace.
17 t On my own body are scars that prove I belong to Christ Jesus. So I don't want anyone to bother me anymore.
18 My friends, I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you! Amen.
