PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، إِنِ ٱنْسَبَقَ إِنْسَانٌ فَأُخِذَ فِي زَلَّةٍ مَا، فَأَصْلِحُوا أَنْتُمُ ٱلرُّوحَانِيِّينَ مِثْلَ هَذَا بِرُوحِ ٱلْوَدَاعَةِ، نَاظِرًا إِلَى نَفْسِكَ لِئَلَّا تُجَرَّبَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا.
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.
1 Ἀδελφοί, ἐὰν καὶ προληφθῇ ἄνθρωπος ἔν τινι παραπτώματι, ὑμεῖς οἱ πνευματικοὶ καταρτίζετε τὸν τοιοῦτον ἐν πνεύματι πρᾳότητος, σκοπῶν σεαυτόν, μὴ καὶ σὺ πειρασθῇς.
2 اِحْمِلُوا بَعْضُكُمْ أَثْقَالَ بَعْضٍ، وَهَكَذَا تَمِّمُوا نَامُوسَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.
2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
2 ἀλλήλων τὰ βάρη βαστάζετε, καὶ οὕτως ἀναπληρώσατε τὸν νόμον τοῦ Χριστοῦ.
3 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ ظَنَّ أَحَدٌ أَنَّهُ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ لَيْسَ شَيْئًا، فَإِنَّهُ يَغُشُّ نَفْسَهُ.
3 For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
3 εἰ γὰρ δοκεῖ τις εἶναί τι μηδὲν ὤν, ἑαυτὸν φρεναπατᾷ.
4 وَلَكِنْ لِيَمْتَحِنْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَمَلَهُ، وَحِينَئِذٍ يَكُونُ لَهُ ٱلْفَخْرُ مِنْ جِهَةِ نَفْسِهِ فَقَطْ، لَا مِنْ جِهَةِ غَيْرِهِ.
4 But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.
4 τὸ δὲ ἔργον ἑαυτοῦ δοκιμαζέτω ἕκαστος, καὶ τότε εἰς ἑαυτὸν μόνον τὸ καύχημα ἕξει καὶ οὐκ εἰς τὸν ἕτερον·
5 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ سَيَحْمِلُ حِمْلَ نَفْسِهِ.
5 For each man will bear his own burden.
5 ἕκαστος γὰρ τὸ ἴδιον φορτίον βαστάσει.
6 وَلَكِنْ لِيُشَارِكِ ٱلَّذِي يَتَعَلَّمُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ ٱلْمُعَلِّمَ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْخَيْرَاتِ.
6 But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.
6 Κοινωνείτω δὲ ὁ κατηχούμενος τὸν λόγον τῷ κατηχοῦντι ἐν πᾶσιν ἀγαθοῖς.
7 لَا تَضِلُّوا! ٱللهُ لَا يُشْمَخُ عَلَيْهِ. فَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَزْرَعُهُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ إِيَّاهُ يَحْصُدُ أَيْضًا.
7 Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
7 Μὴ πλανᾶσθε, Θεὸς οὐ μυκτηρίζεται· ὃ γὰρ ἐὰν σπείρῃ ἄνθρωπος, τοῦτο καὶ θερίσει·
8 لِأَنَّ مَنْ يَزْرَعُ لِجَسَدِهِ فَمِنَ ٱلْجَسَدِ يَحْصُدُ فَسَادًا، وَمَنْ يَزْرَعُ لِلرُّوحِ فَمِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ يَحْصُدُ حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّةً.
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.
8 ὅτι ὁ σπείρων εἰς τὴν σάρκα ἑαυτοῦ ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς θερίσει φθοράν, ὁ δὲ σπείρων εἰς τὸ Πνεῦμα ἐκ τοῦ Πνεύματος θερίσει ζωὴν αἰώνιον.
9 فَلَا نَفْشَلْ فِي عَمَلِ ٱلْخَيْرِ لِأَنَّنَا سَنَحْصُدُ فِي وَقْتِهِ إِنْ كُنَّا لَا نَكِلُّ.
9 Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.
9 τὸ δὲ καλὸν ποιοῦντες μὴ ἐκκακῶμεν· καιρῷ γὰρ ἰδίῳ θερίσομεν μὴ ἐκλυόμενοι.
10 فَإِذًا حَسْبَمَا لَنَا فُرْصَةٌ، فَلْنَعْمَلِ ٱلْخَيْرَ لِلْجَمِيعِ، وَلَا سِيَّمَا لِأَهْلِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ.
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.
10 Ἄρα οὖν ὡς καιρὸν ἔχομεν, ἐργαζώμεθα τὸ ἀγαθὸν πρὸς πάντας, μάλιστα δὲ πρὸς τοὺς οἰκείους τῆς πίστεως.
11 اُنْظُرُوا، مَا أَكْبَرَ ٱلْأَحْرُفَ ٱلَّتِي كَتَبْتُهَا إِلَيْكُمْ بِيَدِي!
11 See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
11 Ἴδετε πηλίκοις ὑμῖν γράμμασιν ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί.
12 جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا مَنْظَرًا حَسَنًا فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ، هَؤُلَاءِ يُلْزِمُونَكُمْ أَنْ تَخْتَتِنُوا، لِئَلَّا يُضْطَهَدُوا لِأَجْلِ صَلِيبِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فَقَطْ.
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.
12 ὅσοι θέλουσιν εὐπροσωπῆσαι ἐν σαρκί, οὗτοι ἀναγκάζουσιν ὑμᾶς περιτέμνεσθαι, μόνον ἵνα μὴ τῷ σταυρῷ τοῦ Χριστοῦ διώκωνται.
13 لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْتَتِنُونَ هُمْ لَا يَحْفَظُونَ ٱلنَّامُوسَ، بَلْ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَخْتَتِنُوا أَنْتُمْ لِكَيْ يَفْتَخِرُوا فِي جَسَدِكُمْ.
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.
13 οὐδὲ γὰρ οἱ περιτετμημένοι αὐτοὶ νόμον φυλάσσουσιν, ἀλλὰ θέλουσιν ὑμᾶς περιτέμνεσθαι, ἵνα ἐν τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ σαρκὶ καυχήσωνται.
14 وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَتِي، فَحَاشَا لِي أَنْ أَفْتَخِرَ إِلَّا بِصَلِيبِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلَّذِي بِهِ قَدْ صُلِبَ ٱلْعَالَمُ لِي وَأَنَا لِلْعَالَمِ.
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.
14 ἐμοὶ δὲ μὴ γένοιτο καυχᾶσθαι εἰ μὴ ἐν τῷ σταυρῷ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, δι᾽ οὗ ἐμοὶ κόσμος ἐσταύρωται κἀγὼ τῷ κόσμῳ.
15 لِأَنَّهُ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ لَيْسَ ٱلْخِتَانُ يَنْفَعُ شَيْئًا وَلَا ٱلْغُرْلَةُ، بَلِ ٱلْخَلِيقَةُ ٱلْجَدِيدَةُ.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
15 ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ οὔτε περιτομή τι ἰσχύει οὔτε ἀκροβυστία, ἀλλὰ καινὴ κτίσις.
16 فَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْلُكُونَ بِحَسَبِ هَذَا ٱلْقَانُونِ عَلَيْهِمْ سَلَامٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ، وَعَلَى إِسْرَائِيلِ ٱللهِ.
16 As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.
16 καὶ ὅσοι τῷ κανόνι τούτῳ στοιχήσουσιν, εἰρήνη ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔλεος, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
17 فِي مَا بَعْدُ لَا يَجْلِبُ أَحَدٌ عَلَيَّ أَتْعَابًا، لِأَنِّي حَامِلٌ فِي جَسَدِي سِمَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ.
17 From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.
17 Τοῦ λοιποῦ κόπους μοι μηδεὶς παρεχέτω· ἐγὼ γὰρ τὰ στίγματα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ ἐν τῷ σώματί μου βαστάζω.
18 نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مَعَ رُوحِكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ. آمِينَ.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
18 Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματος ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί· ἀμήν.

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 …
