Gálatas 6

1 Brothers, 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 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else. 5 For each man will bear his own burden.

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

7 Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For 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 Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up. 10 So 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 See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a good impression in the flesh compel you to be circumcised, just so they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, so that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But 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 For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16 As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.

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

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

Pīkaua e tētahi ngā Taimahatanga o tētahi

1 E ōku tēina, ahakoa rā i rokohanga te tangata e tētahi hē, mā koutou, mā te hunga i te Wairua, e whakaara ake ia i runga i te wairua māhaki; me te titiro iho anō ki a koe, kei whakamātautauria hoki ko koe. 2 Pīkaua e tētahi ngā whakataimaha o tētahi, hei whakarite i tā te Karaiti ture.

3 Ki te mahara hoki tētahi tangata ki a ia anō he mea nui ia, i te mea he kore noa iho ia, e nuka ana ia ki a ia anō. 4 Engari mā ia tangata e whakamātau tāna ake mahi, ka ai ai he mea hei whakamanamanatanga mōna ki tāna anake, kāhore ki tā tētahi atu. 5 Ka riro hoki mā ia tangata e pīkau tāna kawenga.

6 Ko te tangata e whakaakona ana ki te kupu, me whakawhiwhi e ia tōna kaiwhakaako ki ngā mea pai katoa.

7 Kei whakapōhēhētia koutou; kāhore te Atua e tinihangatia; ko tā te tangata hoki e rui ai, ko tēnā tāna e kokoti ai. 8 Ko te tangata hoki e rui ana, he whakaaro ki tōna kikokiko, he pirau tāna e kokoti ai o te kikokiko; ko te tangata ia e rui ana, he whakaaro ki te Wairua, ko te ora tonu tāna e kokoti ai o te Wairua, 9 ā, kaua tātou e ngākaukore ki te mahi i te pai. Tēnā tōna wā e rite ai ka kokoti tātou ki te kāhore tātou e ngoikore. 10 Nā reira, i te mea e whai takiwā ana tātou, kia mahi tātou i te pai ki ngā tāngata katoa, ā tērā noa ake ki te hunga o te whare o te whakapono.

Whakatūpato Whakamutunga

11 Titiro ki te nui o ngā reta e tuhituhi nei tōku ringa ake ki a koutou. 12 Ko te hunga e hiahia ana ko te āhua o te kikokiko kia pai, ko rātou hei mea i a koutou kia kotia; he mea kau kei whakatoia rātou mō te rīpeka o te Karaiti. 13 Kāhore hoki taua hunga i kotia nā e mau ki te ture; engari e hiahia ana kia kotia koutou, kia whakamanamana ai rātou ki tō koutou kikokiko. 14 Ki ahau ia kaua rawa he whakamanamana, ko te rīpeka anake o tō tātou Ariki, o Īhu Karaiti, i rīpekatia ai te ao ki ahau, me ahau hoki ki te ao. 15 Kāhore he aha o te kotinga, kāhore o te kotingakore, engari ko te mea hanga hou. 16 Nā, ko te hunga e haere ana i runga i tēnei tikanga, kia tau te rangimārie me te mahi tohu ki a rātou, ki te Īharaira hoki a te Atua.

17 Ā muri ake nei, kaua tētahi e whakararuraru i ahau; e mau ana hoki ki tōku tinana ngā tohu a Īhu.

18 E ōku tēina, kia tau te aroha noa o tō tātou Ariki, o Īhu Karaiti, ki ō koutou wairua. Āmine.
