1 | Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye who are spiritual, restore such one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. |
2 | Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. |
3 | For if a man thinketh 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. |
6 | Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teacheth in all good things. |
7 | Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. |
8 | For he that soweth to his flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption: but he that soweth to the Spirit, shall from the Spirit reap life everlasting. |
9 | And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. |
10 | As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to them who are of the household of faith. |
11 | Ye see how large a letter I have written to you with my own hand. |
12 | As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. |
13 | For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. |
14 | But may it never be that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. |
15 | For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. |
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. |
18 | Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. |
