1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
-
2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
-
3 For if a man think 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 unto him that teacheth in all good things.
-
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
-
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of 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 unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
-
11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
-
12 As many as desire to make a fair shew 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 God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto 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.

- 1 Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.
- 2 Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.
- 3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
- 4 But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.
- 5 For each one will bear his own load.
- 6 The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.
- 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will 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 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
- 10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
- 11 See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
- 12 Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
- 13 For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.
- 14 But may it never be that I would 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 neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
- 16 And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
- 17 From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus.
- 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
