Galatians 6:1-6
Wycliffe Bible
6 Brethren, if a man be occupied in any guilt, ye that be spiritual, inform ye such one in spirit of softness, beholding thyself, lest that thou be tempted.[a]
2 Each bear other's charges [Bear ye the charges the tother of the tother, or each of other], and so ye shall fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For who that troweth that he be aught, when he is nought, he beguileth himself. [For why if any man guesseth himself to be aught, when he is nought, he deceiveth himself.]
4 But each man prove his own work, and so he shall have glory [only] in himself, and not in another.
5 For each man shall bear his own charge.
6 He that is taught in word, commune he with him that teacheth him, in all goods. [Forsooth he that is taught by word, commune to him that teacheth him, in all good things.]

Galatians 6:1-6
New Matthew Bible
He exhorts them to brotherly love, and to bear with one another. In the end, he warns them to beware of circumcision.
6 Brethren, if anyone has fallen by chance into any fault, you who are spiritual should help to amend him, in the spirit of humility – considering yourself, lest you also be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burden, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 If any person seems to himself to be something, when indeed he is nothing, the same deceives himself in his imagination.
4 Let each prove his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in his own self, and not in another. 5 For every person will reap for himself.
6 Let him who is taught in the word minister to the one who teaches him, in all good things.

Galatians 6:1-6
1599 Geneva Bible
6 1 Now he entreateth particularly of charity toward such as offend, 6 toward the Minsters of the word, 10 and those that are of the household of faith: 12 Not like unto such who have a counterfeit zeal of the Law, 13 glorying in the mangling of the flesh, 14 and not in the cross of Christ.
1 Brethren, [a]If a man be [b]suddenly taken in any offense, ye which are [c]spiritual, [d]restore such one with the [e]spirit of meekness, [f]considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 [g]Bear ye one another’s burden, and so fulfill the [h]Law of Christ.
3 For if any man seem to himself, that he is somewhat, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself in his imagination.
4 But let every man prove his own work: and then shall he have rejoicing in himself only and not in another.
5 (A)[i]For every man shall bear his own burden.
6 [j]Let him that is taught in the word, make him that hath taught him, partaker of [k]all his (B)goods.

Authorized (King James) Version
6 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, 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 prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
