Galatians Chapter 6

Galatians Chapter 6

Brethren, if you are overcome with sin, you who are spiritual will be restored to the spirit of meekness, so consider yourself so that you are not tempted. Bear each other’s burdens, this fulfills Christ’s law.

If a man thinks that he is something when he is really nothing, then he deceives himself. Let every man prove his own work, then he can rejoice in himself and not in another. Every man shall bear his own burden (contrary to what Paul just said? This is really typical of his brand of rhetoric. I’m glad this is the last chapter of Galatians).

Let one who is taught the gospel communicate to the one who teaches in all good things.

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows is also what he reaps. He that sows his flesh (mixing metaphors again I see) reaps corruption. He that sows the Spirit shall reap from the Spirit eternal life.

Don’t get tired of doing good, because in the right season we will reap as long as we don’t faint first. So, as we have the opportunity, let’s do good to all men, especially those who are faithful like us.

You see how long a letter I’ve written to you with my own hand.

Many others desire to make a fair show for you in the flesh, they want to you to be circumcised because they don’t want to be punished for crucifying JC.

But God forbid that I should glory, except in the cross of our friend JC, by whom the world is crucified to me and I to the world. (I thought his crucifixion saved us, not crucified us… oh well).

In JC neither circumcision nor uncircumcision gives you anything except a new creature. And peace be with those who abide by this rule and upon the Israel of God. From now on, let no man bother me because I bear in my body the marks of JC.

Brethren, the grace of our Lord JC be with your spirit. Amen.
[To the Galatians written from Rome]

The end. Thanks Paul for uh… well… uh… I don’t know. I guess I’ll have to pray to the holy spirit to make any of Paul’s nonsense make sense. God knows no logic will do it. Well on to Ephesians… oh no, it’s more Paul… gross!
