PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Αδελφοί, και εάν άνθρωπος απερισκέπτως πέση εις κανέν αμάρτημα, σεις οι πνευματικοί διορθόνετε τον τοιούτον με πνεύμα πραότητος, προσέχων εις σεαυτόν, μη και συ πειρασθής.
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 Αλλήλων τα βάρη βαστάζετε και ούτως εκπληρώσατε τον νόμον του Χριστού.
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 Διότι εάν τις νομίζη ότι είναι τι ενώ είναι μηδέν, εαυτόν εξαπατά.
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 Αλλ' έκαστος ας εξετάζη το εαυτού έργον, και τότε εις εαυτόν μόνον θέλει έχει το καύχημα και ουχί εις τον άλλον·
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 διότι έκαστος το εαυτού φορτίον θέλει βαστάσει.
5 For each man will bear his own burden.
5 ἕκαστος γὰρ τὸ ἴδιον φορτίον βαστάσει.
6 Ο δε κατηχούμενος τον λόγον ας κάμνη τον κατηχούντα μέτοχον εις πάντα τα αγαθά αυτού.
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 Μη πλανάσθε, ο Θεός δεν εμπαίζεται· επειδή ό,τι αν σπείρη ο άνθρωπος, τούτο και θέλει θερίσει·
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 διότι ο σπείρων εις την σάρκα εαυτού θέλει θερίσει εκ της σαρκός φθοράν, αλλ' ο σπείρων εις το Πνεύμα θέλει θερίσει εκ του Πνεύματος ζωήν αιώνιον.
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 Ας μη αποκάμνωμεν δε πράττοντες το καλόν· διότι εάν δεν αποκάμνωμεν, θέλομεν θερίσει εν τω δέοντι καιρώ.
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 Άρα λοιπόν ενόσω έχομεν καιρόν, ας εργαζώμεθα το καλόν προς πάντας, μάλιστα δε προς τους οικείους της πίστεως.
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 Ίδετε πόσον μακράν επιστολήν σας έγραψα με την χείρα μου.
11 See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
11 Ἴδετε πηλίκοις ὑμῖν γράμμασιν ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί.
12 Όσοι θέλουσι να αρέσκωσι κατά την σάρκα, ούτοι σας αναγκάζουσι να περιτέμνησθε, μόνον διά να μη διώκωνται διά τον σταυρόν του Χριστού.
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 Διότι ουδέ οι περιτεμνόμενοι αυτοί φυλάττουσι τον νόμον· αλλά θέλουσι να περιτέμνησθε σεις, διά να έχωσι καύχησιν εις την σάρκα σας.
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 Εις εμέ δε μη γένοιτο να καυχώμαι ειμή εις τον σταυρόν του Κυρίου ημών Ιησού Χριστού, διά του οποίου ο κόσμος εσταυρώθη ως προς εμέ και εγώ ως προς τον κόσμον.
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 Διότι εν Χριστώ Ιησού ούτε περιτομή ισχύει τι ούτε ακροβυστία, αλλά νέα κτίσις.
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 Και όσοι περιπατήσωσι κατά τον κανόνα τούτον, ειρήνη επ' αυτούς και έλεος, και επί τον Ισραήλ του Θεού.
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 Εις το εξής μηδείς ας μη δίδη εις εμέ ενόχλησιν· διότι εγώ βαστάζω τα στίγματα του Κυρίου Ιησού εν τω σώματί μου.
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 Η χάρις του Κυρίου ημών Ιησού Χριστού είη μετά του πνεύματος υμών, αδελφοί· αμήν.
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 …
