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,你們屬靈的人就當用溫柔的心把他挽回過來;又當自己小心,恐怕也被引誘。 2 你們各人的重擔要互相擔當,如此,就完全了基督的律法。 3 人若無有,自己還以為有,就是自欺了。 4 各人應當察驗自己的行為;這樣,他所誇的就專在自己,不在別人了, 5 因為各人必擔當自己的擔子。 6 在道理上受教的,當把一切需用的供給施教的人。 7 不要自欺,上帝是輕慢不得的。人種的是甚麼,收的也是甚麼。 8 順著情慾撒種的,必從情慾收敗壞;順著聖靈撒種的,必從聖靈收永生。 9 我們行善,不可喪志;若不灰心,到了時候就要收成。 10 所以,有了機會就當向眾人行善,向信徒一家的人更當這樣。
警告和祝福
11 請看我親手寫給你們的字是何等的大呢! 12 凡希圖外貌體面的人都勉強你們受割禮,無非是怕自己為基督的十字架受逼迫。 13 他們那些受割禮的,連自己也不守律法;他們願意你們受割禮,不過要藉著你們的肉體誇口。 14 但我斷不以別的誇口,只誇我們主耶穌基督的十字架;因這十字架,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 受割禮不受割禮都無關緊要,要緊的就是作新造的人。 16 凡照此理而行的,願平安、憐憫加給他們,和上帝的以色列民。
17 從今以後,人都不要攪擾我,因為我身上帶著耶穌的印記。
18 弟兄們,願我主耶穌基督的恩常在你們心裏。阿們!
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.
