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.

¹Brødre! om også et Menneske bliver overrasket af nogen Forsyndelse, da hjælper en sådan til Rette, I åndelige! med Sagtmodigheds Ånd, og se til dig selv, at ikke også du bliver fristet!

²Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

²Bærer hverandres Byrder og opfylder således Kristi Lov!

³For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

³Thi når nogen mener, at han er noget, skønt han intet er, da bedrager han sig selv.

⁴But let each man test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.

⁴Men hver prøve sin egen Gerning, og da skal han have sin Ros i Forhold til sig selv alene, og ikke til Næsten;

⁵For each man will bear his own burden.

⁵thi hver skal bære sin egen Byrde.

⁶But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

⁶Men den, som undervises i Ordet skal dele alt godt med den, som underviser ham.

⁷Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

⁷Farer ikke vild; Gud lader sig ikke spotte; thi hvad et Menneske sår, det skal han også høste.

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.

⁸Thi den, som sår i sit Kød, skal høste Fordærvelse af Kødet; men den, som sår i Ånden, skal høste evigt Liv af Ånden.

⁹Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

⁹Men når vi gøre det gode, da lader os ikke blive trætte; thi i sin Tid skulle vi høste, såfremt vi ikke give tabt.

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.

¹⁰Så lader os altså, efter som vi have Lejlighed, gøre det gode imod alle, men mest imod Troens egne!

¹¹See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.

¹¹Ser nu, med hvor store Bogstaver jeg skriver til eder med min egen Hånd!

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.

¹²Alle de, som ville tage sig godt ud i Kødet, de tvinge eder til at lade eder omskære, alene for at de ikke skulle forfølges for Kristi Kors's Skyld.

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.

¹³Thi ikke engang de, som lade sig omskære, holde selv Loven; men de ville, at I skulle lade eder omskære, for at de kunne rose sig af eders Kød.

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.

¹⁴Men det være langt fra mig at rose mig uden af vor Herres Jesu Kristi Kors,ved hvem Verden er korsfæstet for mig, og jeg for Verden.

¹⁵For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

¹⁵Thi hverken Omskærelse eller Forhud er noget, men en ny Skabning.

¹⁶As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.

¹⁶Og så mange, som vandre efter denne Rettesnor, over dem være Fred og Barmhjertighed, og over Guds Israel!

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

¹⁷Herefter volde ingen mig Besvær; thi jeg bærer Jesu Mærketegn på mit Legeme:

¹⁸The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

¹⁸Vor Herres Jesu Kristi Nåde være med eders Ånd, Brødre! Amen.
