加拉太书 6
各人的重担要互相担当
1 弟兄们,若有人偶然被过犯所胜,你们属灵的人就要用温柔的心把他挽回过来;自己也要留意,免得也被引诱。 2 你们各人的重担要互相担当,这样就会成全t基督的律法。 3 人若没有什么了不起,还自以为了不起的,就是自欺。 4 各人要省察自己的行为;这样,他所夸口的只在自己,而不在别人。 5 因为人人必须担当自己的担子。 6 在真道上受教的,要把一切美好的东西与施教的人分享。 7 不要自欺;上帝是轻慢不得的,因为人种的是什么,收的也是什么。 8 顺着肉体撒种的,必从肉体收败坏;顺着圣灵撒种的,必从圣灵收永生。 9 我们行善不可丧志,因为若不灰心,到了适当的时候就有收成。 10 所以,一有机会就要向众人行善,向信徒一家的人更要这样。
警告和祝福
11 你们看我亲手写给你们的字是何等的大! 12 那些想要炫耀外表的人才勉强你们受割礼,无非是怕自己为基督的十字架受迫害。 13 他们那些受割礼的,连自己也不守律法;他们要你们受割礼,不过是要拿你们的肉体夸口。 14 但我绝不以别的夸口,只夸我们主耶稣基督的十字架;因这十字架t,就我而论,世界已经钉在十字架上;就世界而论,我已经钉在十字架上。 15 受割礼或不受割礼都无关紧要,要紧的就是作新造的人。 16 凡照这准则行的人,愿平安t怜悯,加给他们,和上帝的以色列民。
17 从今以后,不要有人再搅扰我,因为我身上带着耶稣的印记。
18 弟兄们,愿我们主耶稣基督的恩与你们的灵同在。阿们!
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.
