Carry One Another’s Burdens
6 Brothers, if someone is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual should restore such a person with a gentle(A) spirit,(B) watching out for yourselves so you also won’t be tempted.(C) 2 Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.(D) 3 For if anyone considers himself to be something when he is nothing,(E) he deceives himself. 4 But each person should examine his own work,(F) and then he will have a reason for boasting in himself alone, and not in respect to someone else. 5 For each person will have to carry his own load.
6 The one who is taught the message must share(G) all his good things with the teacher. 7 Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows he will also reap, 8 because the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit(H) will reap eternal life(I) from the Spirit. 9 So we must not get tired(J) of doing good,(K) for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, we must work(L) for the good(M) of all, especially for those who belong to the household(N) of faith.(O)
Concluding Exhortation
11 Look at what large letters I use as I write to you in my own handwriting. 12 Those who want to make a good impression in the flesh(P) are the ones who would compel you to be circumcised(Q)—but only to avoid being persecuted(R) for the cross(S) of Christ. 13 For even the circumcised don’t keep(T) the law themselves; however, they want you to be circumcised in order to boast about your flesh. 14 But 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. 15 For[a] both circumcision and uncircumcision(U) mean nothing; what matters instead is a new creation.(V) 16 May peace come to all those who follow this standard, and mercy to the Israel(W) of God!
17 From now on, let no one cause me trouble, because I bear on my body scars for the cause of Jesus.(X) 18 Brothers, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.(Y) Amen.

信徒的责任
6 弟兄们，如果有人陷在一些过犯里，你们属灵的人，要用温柔的心使他回转过来，自己却要小心，免得也被引诱。 2 你们各人的重担要互相担当，这样就成全了基督的律法。 3 如果有人本来没有甚么了不起，却自以为是了不起的，就是欺骗自己。 4 各人应该省察自己所作的，这样，他引以为荣的，就只在自己而不在别人了； 5 因为各人的担子，是要自己担当的。 6 在圣道上受教的，应该和施教的人分享自己的一切美物。 7 不要自欺， 神是不可轻慢的。人种的是甚么，收的也是甚么： 8 顺着自己的肉体撒种的，必定从肉体收取败坏；顺着圣灵撒种的，必定从圣灵收取永生。 9 我们行善，不要觉得厌烦；如果不松懈，到了适当的时候，就有收成。 10 所以，我们一有机会，就应该对众人行善，对信徒更要这样。
劝勉和祝福
11 请看，我亲手写给你们的字是多么的大。 12 那些在外表上要体面的人，他们勉强你们受割礼，不过是怕为了基督的十字架受迫害。 13 那些受割礼的人，自己也不遵守律法，反而要你们受割礼，为的是要借着你们的肉身夸口。 14 至于我，我绝不以别的夸口，只夸我们主耶稣基督的十字架。借着这十字架，在我来说，世界已经钉在十字架上了；就世界来说，我也已经钉在十字架上了。 15 受割礼或不受割礼，都算不得甚么，要紧的是作新造的人。 16 所有照这准则而行的人，愿平安怜悯临到他们，就是临到 神的以色列。
17 从今以后，谁也不要搅扰我，因为我身上带着耶稣的烙痕。
18 弟兄们，愿我们主耶稣基督的恩惠与你们同在（“与你们同在”原文作“与你们的心灵同在”）。阿们。

Doing Good to All
6 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit(A) should restore(B) that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.(C) 3 If anyone thinks they are something(D) when they are not, they deceive themselves.(E) 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone,(F) without comparing themselves to someone else,(G) 5 for each one should carry their own load.(H) 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.(I)
7 Do not be deceived:(J) God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.(K) 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh,(L) from the flesh will reap destruction;(M) whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.(N) 9 Let us not become weary in doing good,(O) for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.(P) 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good(Q) to all people, especially to those who belong to the family(R) of believers.
Not Circumcision but the New Creation
11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!(S)
12 Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh(T) are trying to compel you to be circumcised.(U) The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted(V) for the cross of Christ. 13 Not even those who are circumcised keep the law,(W) yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.(X) 14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,(Y) through which[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.(Z) 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything;(AA) what counts is the new creation.(AB) 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to[b] the Israel of God.
17 From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks(AC) of Jesus.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ(AD) be with your spirit,(AE) brothers and sisters. Amen.

Help Each Other
6 Brothers, someone in your group might do something wrong. You who are spiritual should go to him and help make him right again. You should do this in a gentle way. But be careful! You might be tempted to sin, too. 2 Help each other with your troubles. When you do this, you truly obey the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks that he is important when he is really not important, he is only fooling himself. 4 He should not compare himself with others. Each person should judge his own actions. Then he can be proud for what he himself has done. 5 Each person must be responsible for himself.
6 Anyone who is learning the teaching of God should share all the good things he has with his teacher.
Life Is Like Planting a Field
7 Do not be fooled: You cannot cheat God. A person harvests only what he plants. 8 If he plants to satisfy his sinful self, his sinful self will bring him eternal death. But if he plants to please the Spirit, he will receive eternal life from the Spirit. 9 We must not become tired of doing good. We will receive our harvest of eternal life at the right time. We must not give up! 10 When we have the opportunity to help anyone, we should do it. But we should give special attention to those who are in the family of believers.
Paul Ends His Letter
11 I am writing this myself. See what large letters I use. 12 Some men are trying to force you to be circumcised. They do these things so that the Jews will accept them. They are afraid that they will be treated badly if they follow only the cross of Christ.[a] 13 Those who are circumcised do not obey the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised. Then they can brag about what they forced you to do. 14 I hope I will never brag about things like that. The cross of our Lord Jesus Christ is my only reason for bragging. Through the cross of Jesus my world was crucified and I died to the world. 15 It is not important if a man is circumcised or not circumcised. The important thing is being the new people God has made. 16 Peace and mercy to those who follow this rule—to all of God’s people.
17 So do not give me any more trouble. I have scars on my body. These show[b] I belong to Christ Jesus.
18 My brothers, I pray that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ will be with your spirit. Amen.
