## Galatians 6 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. And, brothers, if a man has been overtaken by any offense, you who are spiritual should instruct someone like this with a spirit of leniency, considering that you yourselves might also be tempted.
2. Carry one another’s burdens, and so shall you fulfill the law of Christ.
3. For if anyone considers himself to be something, though he may be nothing, he deceives himself.
4. So let each one prove his own work. And in this way, he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another.
5. For each one shall carry his own burden.
6. And let him who is being taught the Word discuss it with him who is teaching it to him, in every good way.
7. Do not choose to wander astray. God is not to be ridiculed.
8. For whatever a man will have sown, that also shall he reap. For whoever sows in his flesh, from the flesh he shall also reap corruption. But whoever sows in the Spirit, from the Spirit he shall reap eternal life.
9. And so, let us not be deficient in doing good. For in due time, we shall reap without fail.
10. Therefore, while we have time, we should do good works toward everyone, and most of all toward those who are of the household of the faith.
11. Consider what kind of letters I have written to you with my own hand.
12. For as many of you as they desire to please in the flesh, they compel to be circumcised, but only so that they might not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ.
13. And yet, neither do they themselves, who are circumcised, keep the law. Instead, they want you to be circumcised, so that they may glory in your flesh.
14. But far be it from me to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
15. For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails in any way, but instead there is a new creature.
16. And whoever follows this rule: may peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
17. Concerning other matters, let no one trouble me. For I carry the stigmata of the Lord Jesus in my body.
18. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

## Galatians 6 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. Fratres, etsi præoccupatus fuerit homo in aliquo delicto, vos, qui spirituales estis, hujusmodi instruite in spiritu lenitatis, considerans teipsum, ne et tu tenteris.
2. Alter alterius onera portate, et sic adimplebitis legem Christi.
3. Nam si quis existimat se aliquid esse, cum nihil sit, ipse se seducit.
4. Opus autem suum probet unusquisque, et sic in semetipso tantum gloriam habebit, et non in altero.
5. Unusquisque enim onus suum portabit.
6. Communicet autem is qui catechizatur verbo, ei qui se catechizat, in omnibus bonis.
7. Nolite errare: Deus non irridetur.
8. Quæ enim seminaverit homo, hæc et metet. Quoniam qui seminat in carne sua, de carne et metet corruptionem: qui autem seminat in spiritu, de spiritu metet vitam æternam.
9. Bonum autem facientes, non deficiamus: tempore enim suo metemus non deficientes.
10. Ergo dum tempus habemus, operemur bonum ad omnes, maxime autem ad domesticos fidei.
11. Videte qualibus litteris scripsi vobis mea manu.
12. Quicumque enim volunt placere in carne, hi cogunt vos circumcidi, tantum ut crucis Christi persecutionem non patiantur.
13. Neque enim qui circumciduntur, legem custodiunt: sed volunt vos circumcidi, ut in carne vestra glorientur.
14. Mihi autem absit gloriari, nisi in cruce Domini nostri Jesu Christi: per quem mihi mundus crucifixus est, et ego mundo.
15. In Christo enim Jesu neque circumcisio aliquid valet, neque præputium, sed nova creatura.
16. Et quicumque hanc regulam secuti fuerint, pax super illos, et misericordia, et super Israël Dei.
17. De cetero, nemo mihi molestus sit: ego enim stigmata Domini Jesu in corpore meo porto.
18. Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi cum spiritu vestro, fratres. Amen.
