Galatians 6

1

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

2
2

Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

1
3

For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

4

But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

5

For every man shall bear his own burden.

1
6

Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

7

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

1
8

For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

2
9

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

1
10

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

11

Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.

12

As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

1
13

For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

2
14

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

1
15

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

1
16

And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

17

From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

2
1
18

Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Unto the Galatians written from Rome.

Galatians 6:17

“From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.”

Study Summary

From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. — Paul's cryptic declaration: 'stigmata tou Iēsou' (marks of Jesus, slave-branding marks) visible on his body testify to his belonging to Christ ('doulos Christou'); these 'marks' likely refer to scars from persecution (cf. 2 Corinthians 11:23-25), making his body a text of apostolic suffering.

Strength in weakness — Galatians 6

Reading the Psalms alongside this gives a fuller picture of what the author was experiencing — both the anguish and the hope.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. I think this is a call to trust beyond what we can see. Faith isn't the absence of doubt — it's choosing to believe despite it.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. The imagery here is agricultural — the original audience would have immediately understood the metaphor of sowing, waiting, and harvesting.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. What a reminder that God's ways are not our ways. When we read this alongside the surrounding chapters, the narrative arc becomes clear: God is always working redemption, even in the darkest moments.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. God…
