This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
6:1 Helping each other
6 Brothers and sisters, if a person has been caught sinning, all of you spiritual people need to guide the person with a spirit of gentleness, at the same time looking at your own behaviour in case you yourselves are also tempted. 2 Help those who are going through difficulties or pain, and in doing so you’ll fulfil the law of the messiah, 3 because anyone who supposes themselves to be someone special but isn’t, is only deceiving themself. 4 Evaluate your own actions, but keep your boasts to yourself and not to tell others, 5 because each person must face up to their own issues.
6 Those who are being taught should share all their blessings with those who are instructing.
7 Don’t be fooled—you can’t get away with mocking God, because what you sow determines what you’ll harvest. 8 Anyone who sows seed to feed their earthly desires will harvest earthly corruption, but who sews spiritual seeds, will harvest eternal life from the spirit. 9 Don’t be discouraged from doing good things because we’ll have a good harvest in due course if we don’t give up. 10 So then as time allows it, we should be working towards good for everybody and especially for fellow believers.
6:11 Paul’s final advice
11 Look how big these letters are when it’s my own handwriting. 12 There’s so many people that want to look good in earthly terms and they’re the ones trying to persuade you that you have to fulfil all of Moses’ rules—they don’t want to be persecuted concerning the messiah dying on a stake. 13 Even those who are circumcised don’t obey all the rules, but they’d still like for your men to be circumcised so that they can claim them as followers. 14 As for me, may I never boast except about our master, Yeshua the messiah whose life was cut off on the stake. Through him, it’s like the entire world has been cut off from me, and I have been cut off from the world. 15 Because obeying Moses’ law is nothing, and not needing to obey it is nothing, but being a new creation is everything. 16 and as many people as follow that principle, may peace and mercy be on them and on God’s Israel.
17 As for the rest of their troubles, don’t bother me with them because I carry the marks on my body of someone who follows Yeshua.
18 May the grace from our master Yeshua the messiah be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Let it be so.
