Galatians 6

English Standard Version

Bear One Another's Burdens

6 Brothers,^[a] ^(A)if anyone is caught in any transgression, ^(B)you who are spiritual should restore him in ^(C)a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. ²^(D)Bear one another's burdens, and ^(E)so fulfill ^(F)the law of Christ. ³For ^(G)if anyone thinks he is something, ^(H)when he is nothing, he deceives himself. ⁴But let each one ^(I)test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. ⁵For ^(J)each will have to bear his own load.

⁶^(K)Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. ⁷^(L)Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for ^(M)whatever one sows, that will he also reap. ⁸For ^(N)the one who sows to his own flesh ^(O)will from the flesh reap corruption, but ^(P)the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. ⁹And ^(Q)let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, ^(R)if we do not give up. ¹⁰So then, ^(S)as we have opportunity, let us ^(T)do good to everyone, and especially to those who are ^(U)of the household of faith.

Final Warning and Benediction

¹¹See with what large letters I am writing to you ^(V)with my own hand. ¹²^(W)It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh ^(X)who would force you to be circumcised, and only ^(Y)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 ^(Z)except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which^[b] the world ^(AA)has been crucified to me, and I to the world. ¹⁵For ^(AB)neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but ^(AC)a new creation. ¹⁶And as for all who walk by this rule, ^(AD)peace and mercy be upon them, and upon ^(AE)the Israel of God.

¹⁷From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

¹⁸^(AF)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be ^(AG)with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

English Standard Version

In God I Trust

To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A ^(A)Miktam^[a] of David, when the ^(B)Philistines seized him in Gath.

56 ^(C)Be gracious to me, O God, for man ^(D)tramples on me;
    all day long an attacker oppresses me;
²my enemies trample on me all day long,
    for many attack me proudly.
³When I am afraid,
    I ^(E)put my trust in you.
⁴In God, whose word I praise,
    in God I trust; ^(F)I shall not be afraid.
    What can flesh do to me?

⁵All day long they injure my cause;^[b]
    all their thoughts are against me for evil.
⁶They ^(G)stir up strife, they ^(H)lurk;
    they ^(I)watch my steps,
    as they have waited for my life.
⁷For their crime will they escape?
    ^(J)In wrath ^(K)cast down the peoples, O God!

⁸You have kept count of my tossings;^[c]
    ^(L)put my tears in your bottle.
    ^(M)Are they not in your book?
⁹Then my enemies will turn back
    ^(N)in the day when I call.
    This I know, that^[d] ^(O)God is for me.
¹⁰In God, whose word I praise,
    in the Lord, whose word I praise,
¹¹in God I trust; ^(P)I shall not be afraid.
    What can man do to me?

¹²I must perform my ^(Q)vows to you, O God;
    I will ^(R)render thank offerings to you.
¹³^(S)For you have delivered my soul from death,
    yes, my feet from falling,
^(T)that I may walk before God
    ^(U)in the light of life.

Let Your Glory Be over All the Earth

To the choirmaster: according to ^(V)Do Not Destroy. A ^(W)Miktam^[e] of David, when he fled from Saul, in ^(X)the cave.

57 ^(Y)Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
    for in you my soul ^(Z)takes refuge;
in ^(AA)the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
    ^(AB)till the storms of destruction pass by.
²I cry out to God Most High,
    to God who ^(AC)fulfills his purpose for me.
³^(AD)He will send from heaven and save me;
    he will put to shame ^(AE)him who tramples on me. Selah
^(AF)God will send out ^(AG)his steadfast love and his faithfulness!

⁴My soul is in the midst of ^(AH)lions;
I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, whose ^(AI)teeth are spears and arrows,
whose ^(AJ)tongues are sharp swords.

⁵^(AK)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!

⁶They set ^(AL)a net for my steps;
    my soul was ^(AM)bowed down.
They ^(AN)dug a pit in my way,
    but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
⁷^(AO)My heart is ^(AP)steadfast, O God,
    my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
⁸    ^(AQ)Awake, ^(AR)my glory!^[f]
Awake, ^(AS)O harp and lyre!
    I will awake the dawn!
⁹I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
    I will sing praises to you among the nations.
¹⁰For your ^(AT)steadfast love is great to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the clouds.
