1 Brethren, if a man be in a , ye which are spiritual, such an one in the spirit of meekness; thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another’s , and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4 But let every man his own , and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5 For every man shall his own burden.
6 Let him that is taught in the word unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7 Be not ; God is not : for whatsoever a man , that shall he also .
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be in well doing: for in due season we shall , if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer for the cross of Christ.
13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Galatians 6 is a chapter from the New Testament of the Bible. It contains teachings and guidance from the Apostle Paul to the early Christian community in Galatia.
ReplyDeleteBearing One Another's Burdens (Galatians 6:1-5): Paul encourages the Galatians to help and restore a fellow believer who has fallen into sin gently and humbly. He also emphasizes that each person should carry their own load of responsibilities.
Sowing and Reaping (Galatians 6:6-10): Paul discusses the principle of sowing and reaping, both in terms of sowing to the flesh (sinful desires) and sowing to the Spirit (righteousness). He advises believers to do good to all people, especially to fellow believers, and not grow weary in doing good.
Final Warnings and Conclusion (Galatians 6:11-18): Paul concludes the letter with a reminder of its importance and authenticity, and he mentions that some people are trying to force circumcision on the Galatian believers. He emphasizes that neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters but only a new creation in Christ. He closes with a blessing and encourages them to walk in the peace and mercy of God.
Overall, Galatians 6 touches on themes of community, personal responsibility, living by the Spirit, and the freedom and transformation found in Christ, rather than adherence to legalistic practices like circumcision. It's a chapter that emphasizes the importance of love, compassion, and doing good deeds while living in accordance with Christian principles.
