[1]Brethren, if a man be fallen by occasion into any fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such one with the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
[2]Bear ye one another's burden, and so fulfill the Law of Christ.
[3]For if any man seem to himself, that he is somewhat, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself in his imagination.
[4]But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself only and not in another.
[5]For every man shall bear his own burden.
[6]Let him that is taught in the word, make him that hath taught him, partaker of all his goods.
[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]Let us not therefore be weary of well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
[10]While we have therefore time, let us do good unto all men, but specially unto them, which are of the household of faith.
[11]Â Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
[12]As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only because they would not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
[13]For they themselves which are circumcised, keep not the Law, but desire to have you circumcised, that they might rejoice in your flesh.
[14]But God forbid that I should rejoice, but in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, whereby the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
[15]For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
[16]And as many as walk according to this rule, peace shall be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
[17]From henceforth let no man put me to business: 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. Unto the Galatians written from Rome.
