1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
1 HERMANOS, si alguno fuere tomado en alguna falta, vosotros que sois espirituales, restaurad al tal con el espíritu de mansedumbre; considerándote á ti mismo, porque tú no seas también tentado.
2 Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
2 Sobrellevad los unos las cargas de los otros; y cumplid así la ley de Cristo.
3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
3 Porque el que estima de sí que es algo, no siendo nada, á sí mismo se engaña.
4 Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.
4 Así que cada uno examine su obra, y entonces tendrá gloria sólo respecto de sí mismo, y no en otro.
5 For each one should carry his own load.
5 Porque cada cual llevará su carga.
6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.
6 Y el que es enseñado en la palabra, comunique en todos los bienes al que [lo] instruye.
7 Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.
7 No os engañéis: Dios no [puede] ser burlado: que todo lo que el hombre sembrare, eso también segará.
8 The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
8 Porque el que siembra para su carne, de la carne segará corrupción; mas el que siembra para el Espíritu, del Espíritu segará vida eterna.
9 Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
9 No nos cansemos, pues, de hacer bien; que á su tiempo segaremos, si no hubiéremos desmayado.
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.
10 Así que, entre tanto que tenemos tiempo, hagamos bien á todos, y mayormente á los domésticos de la fe.
11 See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!
11 Mirad en cuán grandes letras os he escrito de mi mano.
12 Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.
12 Todos los que quieren agradar en la carne, éstos os constriñen á que os circuncidéis, solamente por no padecer persecución por la cruz de Cristo.
13 For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
13 Porque ni aun los mismos que se circuncidan guardan la ley; sino que quieren que vosotros seáis circuncidados, para gloriarse en vuestra carne.
14 But as for me, may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
14 Mas lejos esté de mí gloriarme, sino en la cruz de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, por el cual el mundo me es crucificado á mí, y yo al mundo.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.
15 Porque en Cristo Jesús, ni la circuncisión vale nada, ni la incircuncisión, sino la nueva criatura.
16 Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.
16 Y todos los que anduvieren conforme á esta regla, paz sobre ellos, y misericordia, y sobre el Israel de Dios.
17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
17 De aquí adelante nadie me sea molesto; porque yo traigo en mi cuerpo las marcas del Señor Jesús.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
18 Hermanos, la gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con vuestro espíritu. Amén. Enviada de Roma á los Gálatas.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… Apostle Paul himself made mention of this cross in the following words: "The doctrine of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us who are saved it is the power of God." And again: "God forbid that I should glory in anything save in the cross of Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and …
Whence the apostle says, "For this is our glory, the testimony of our conscience." And in another place he says, "But let every one prove his own work, and then he shall have glory in himself, and not in another." That glory, honor, and power, therefore, which they desired for themselves, and to which the good sought to attain by …

For Paul too intimated this when he said, "He that soweth to his flesh, shall of his flesh reap corruption." To this man are they like also, who build on the sand; as those that are given up to fornication, to wantonness, to drunkenness, to anger, to all the other things.

Every deed of Christ is a cause of glorying to the Catholic Church, but her greatest of all glorying is in the Cross; and knowing this, Paul says, But God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of Christ.

"He that soweth to the spirit," it is said, "shall of the spirit reap life everlasting." John too writes, "Hereby we know that he abideth in us by (ek) the spirit which he hath given us." "That which is conceived in her," says the angel, "is of the Holy Ghost," and the Lord says "that which is born of the …
