- 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.
- 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
- 3 For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
- 4 But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.
- 5 For each man will bear his own burden.
- 6 But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.
- 7 Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
- 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.
- 9 Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.
- 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.
- 11 See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 15 For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
- 16 As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.
- 17 From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.
- 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
