King James Bible 1611
| 6:1 | Brethren, if a man bee ouertaken in a fault: yee which are spirituall, restore such a one in the spirit of meeknesse, considering thy selfe least thou also be tempted. |
| 6:2 | Beare ye one anothers burthens, and so fulfill the Law of Christ. |
| 6:3 | For if a man thinke himselfe to be something, when he is nothing, hee deceiueth himselfe. |
| 6:4 | But let euery man prooue his owne worke, and then shall he haue reioycing in him selfe alone, and not in an other. |
| 6:5 | For euery man shall beare his owne burthen. |
| 6:6 | Let him that is taught in the word, communicate vnto him that teacheth, in all good things. |
| 6:7 | Be not deceiued, God is not mocked: for whatsoeuer a man soweth, that shall he also reape. |
| 6:8 | For hee that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reape corruption: but he that soweth to the spirit, shall of the spirit reape life euerlasting. |
| 6:9 | And let vs not bee weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reape, if we faint not. |
| 6:10 | As we haue therefore opportunitie, let vs doe good vnto all men, especially vnto them who are of the household of faith. |
| 6:11 | Ye see how large a letter I haue written vnto you with mine owne hand. |
| 6:12 | As many as desire to make a faire shew in the flesh, they constraine you to be Circumcised: onely least they should suffer persecution for the Crosse of Christ. |
| 6:13 | For neither they themselues who are circumcised, keepe the Law, but desire to haue you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. |
| 6:14 | But God forbid that I should glory, saue in the Crosse of our Lord Iesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified vnto me, & I vnto the world. |
| 6:15 | For in Christ Iesus neither circumcision auaileth any thing nor vncircumcision, but a new creature. |
| 6:16 | And as many as walke according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercie, and vpon the Israel of God. |
| 6:17 | From henceforth let no man trouble mee, for I beare in my body the markes of the Lord Iesus. |
| 6:18 | Brethren, the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.Unto the Galatians, written from Rome. |
King James Bible 1611
The commissioning of the King James Bible took place at a conference at the Hampton Court Palace in London England in 1604. When King James came to the throne he wanted unity and stability in the church and state, but was well aware that the diversity of his constituents had to be considered. There were the Papists who longed for the English church to return to the Roman Catholic fold and the Latin Vulgate. There were Puritans, loyal to the crown but wanting even more distance from Rome. The Puritans used the Geneva Bible which contained footnotes that the king regarded as seditious. The Traditionalists made up of Bishops of the Anglican Church wanted to retain the Bishops Bible.
The king commissioned a new English translation to be made by over fifty scholars representing the Puritans and Traditionalists. They took into consideration: the Tyndale New Testament, the Matthews Bible, the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible. The great revision of the Bible had begun. From 1605 to 1606 the scholars engaged in private research. From 1607 to 1609 the work was assembled. In 1610 the work went to press, and in 1611 the first of the huge (16 inch tall) pulpit folios known today as "The 1611 King James Bible" came off the printing press.
