[1] Brothers, even if a man may be overtaken in any trespass, you who [are] spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering yourself—lest you also may be tempted. [2] Bear the burdens of one another, and so fill up the law of the Christ, [3] for if anyone thinks [himself] to be something—being nothing—he deceives himself; [4] and let each one prove his own work, and then he will have the glorying in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to the other, [5] for each one will bear his own burden. [6] And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing in all good things. [7] Do not be led astray: God is not mocked; for what a man may sow—that he will also reap, [8] because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh will reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit will reap continuous life; [9] and in doing good we should not be weary, for at the proper time we will reap—not desponding; [10] therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially to those of the household of faith. [11] You see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand; [12] as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised—only that they may not be persecuted for the Cross of the Christ, [13] for neither do those circumcised keep the Law themselves, but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. [14] And for me, let it not be—to glory, 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 circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; [16] and as many as walk by this rule—peace on them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God! [17] From now on, let no one give me trouble, for I carry the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body. [18] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit, brothers! Amen.
