Galatians 6:5-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
5For each one will bear his own load.
6The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.
7Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap.
8For the one who sows to his own flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
9Let’s not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary.
10So then, while we have opportunity, let’s do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
11See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!
12All who want to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they want to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.
14But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
King James Version
Chapter 6
5For every man shall bear his own burden. 6Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8For 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. 9And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.Christian Standard Bible
6Let the one who is taught the word share all his good things with the teacher.
7Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows he will also reap,
8because the one who sows to his flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
9Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.
10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.
11Look at what large letters I use as I write to you in my own handwriting.
12Those who want to make a good impression in the flesh are the ones who would compel you to be circumcised —but only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13For even the circumcised don’t keep the law themselves, and yet they want you to be circumcised in order to boast about your flesh.
14But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The world has been crucified to me through the cross, and I to the world.
New Living Translation
7Don’t be misled — you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.
8Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
9So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
10Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone — especially to those in the family of faith.
12Those who are trying to force you to be circumcised want to look good to others. They don’t want to be persecuted for teaching that the cross of Christ alone can save.
13And even those who advocate circumcision don’t keep the whole law themselves. They only want you to be circumcised so they can boast about it and claim you as their disciples.
English Standard Version
6Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches.
7Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
8For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
9And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
10So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
11See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
12It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
14But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
New International Version
Chapter 6
5for each one should carry their own load. 6Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
8Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
12Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.
14May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
New King James Version
Chapter 6
5For each one shall bear his own load.
7Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
8For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
9And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
11See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!
12As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
14But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
