1信徒的责任
1Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.
2你们各人的重担要互相担当,这样就成全了基督的律法。
2Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3如果有人本来没有什么了不起,却自以为是了不起的,就是欺骗自己。
3For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
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;
4But let each man test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.
5因为各人的担子,是要自己担当的。
5For each man will bear his own burden.
6在圣道上受教的,应该和施教的人分享自己的一切美物。
6But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.
7不要自欺, 神是不可轻慢的。人种的是什么,收的也是什么:
7Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
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。
8For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
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。
9Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.
10所以,我们一有机会,就应该对众人行善,对信徒更要这样。
10So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.
11劝勉和祝福请看,我亲手写给你们的字是多么的大。
11See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
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。
12As many as desire to look good in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
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。
13For even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
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。
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.
15受割礼或不受割礼,都算不得什么,要紧的是作新造的人。
15For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
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。
16As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.
17从今以后,谁也不要搅扰我,因为我身上带着耶稣的烙痕。
17From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.
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。
18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
