Galatians 6 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version
Galatians 6
1Brethren, and if a man be overtaken in any fault, you, who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2Bear ye one another's burdens: and so you shall fulfil the law of Christ.
3For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4But let every one prove his own work: and so he shall have glory in himself only and not in another.
5For every one shall bear his own burden.
6And let him that is instructed in the word communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things.
7Be not deceived: God is not mocked.
8For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit of the spirit shall reap life everlasting.
9And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing.
10Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
11See what a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
12For as many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ.
13For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law: but they will have you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but a new creature.
16And whosoever shall follow this rule, peace on them and mercy: and upon the Israel of God.
17From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me: for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body.
18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
Galatians 6
1Brethren, 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.
2Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5For every man shall bear his own burden.
6Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
11Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
12As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
18Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Unto the Galatians written from Rome.
