14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [1] the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

Other Translations of Galatians 6:14

New International Version

14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whichOr "whom" the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

English Standard Version

14 But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whichOr through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

The Message

14 For my part, I am going to boast about nothing but the Cross of our Master, Jesus Christ. Because of that Cross, I have been crucified in relation to the world, set free from the stifling atmosphere of pleasing others and fitting into the little patterns that they dictate.

New King James Version

14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

New Living Translation

14 As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world's interest in me has also died.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Galatians 6:14

Commentary on Galatians 6:12-15

(Read Galatians 6:12-15)

Proud, vain, and carnal hearts, are content with just so much religion as will help to keep up a fair show. But the apostle professes his own faith, hope, and joy; and that his principal glory was in the cross of Christ. By which is here meant, his sufferings and death on the cross, the doctrine of salvation by a crucified Redeemer. By Christ, or by the cross of Christ, the world is crucified to the believer, and he to the world. The more we consider the sufferings of the Redeemer from the world, the less likely shall we be to love the world. The apostle was as little affected by its charms, as a beholder would be by any thing which had been graceful in the face of a crucified person, when he beholds it blackened in the agonies of death. He was no more affected by the objects around him, than one who is expiring would be struck with any of the prospects his dying eyes might view from the cross on which he hung. And as to those who have truly believed in Christ Jesus, all things are counted as utterly worthless compared with him. There is a new creation; old things are passed away, and new views and dispositions are brought in under the regenerating influences of God the Holy Spirit. Believers are brought into a new world, and being created in Christ Jesus unto good works, are formed to a life of holiness. It is a change of mind and heart, whereby we are enabled to believe in the Lord Jesus, and to live to God; and where this inward, practical religion is wanting, outward professions, or names, will never stand in any stead.

Good Stewards of God's Grace

Good Stewards of God's Grace

41 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.

English Standard Version

Good Stewards of God's Grace

41 Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh,Some manuscripts add for us; some for you arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

The Message

Good Stewards of God's Grace

41 Since Jesus went through everything you're going through and more, learn to think like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way.

New King James Version

Good Stewards of God's Grace

41 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

New Living Translation

Good Stewards of God's Grace

41 So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Peter 4:1

Commentary on 1 Peter 4:1-6

(Read 1 Peter 4:1-6)

The strongest and best arguments against sin, are taken from the sufferings of Christ. He died to destroy sin; and though he cheerfully submitted to the worst sufferings, yet he never gave way to the least sin. Temptations could not prevail, were it not for man's own corruption; but true Christians make the will of God, not their own lust or desires, the rule of their lives and actions. And true conversion makes a marvellous change in the heart and life. It alters the mind, judgment, affections, and conversation. When a man is truly converted, it is very grievous to him to think how the time past of his life has been spent. One sin draws on another. Six sins are here mentioned which have dependence one upon another. It is a Christian's duty, not only to keep from gross wickedness, but also from things that lead to sin, or appear evil. The gospel had been preached to those since dead, who by the proud and carnal judgment of wicked men were condemned as evil-doers, some even suffering death. But being quickened to Divine life by the Holy Spirit, they lived to God as his devoted servants. Let not believers care, though the world scorns and reproaches them.

2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

Other Translations of 1 Peter 4:2

New International Version

2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.

English Standard Version

2 so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.

The Message

2 Then you'll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want.

New King James Version

2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

New Living Translation

2 You won't spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God.
