Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.
|
2 |
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
|
3 |
For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
|
4 |
But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
|
5 |
For each one shall bear his own load.
|
6 |
Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.
|
7 |
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
|
8 |
For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
|
9 |
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
|
10 |
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
|
11 |
See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!
|
12 |
As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
|
13 |
For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
|
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.
|
15 |
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.
|
16 |
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
|
17 |
From now on let no one 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.
