[1] Brothers, if a man is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, watching yourselves, lest you also be tempted. [2] Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. [3] For if someone 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 burden. [6] Let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches. [7] Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatever a man 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 in doing good, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not give up. [10] Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who are of the household of faith. [11] You see what large letters I have written to you with my own hand. [12] It is those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh that try to compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. [13] For they themselves who are circumcised do not keep the law. But they desire to have you circumcised, so that they may boast in your flesh. [14] God forbid that I should boast, except 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 nor uncircumcision means anything, but a new creation. [16] Peace and mercy be on all who walk according to this rule 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] Brothers, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
