Galatians 6
6 Brothers,
if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore
him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone
thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each
one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone
and not in his neighbor. 5 For each will have to bear his own load.
6 Let the
one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. 7 Do
not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also
reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap
corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap
eternal life. 9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we
will reap, if we do not give up. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do
good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
11 See with
what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. 12 It is those who
want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised,
and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13
For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they
desire to have you circumcised 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, by which the
world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For neither circumcision
counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16 And as for all
who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of
God.
17 From now
on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
18 The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
