[1]Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering yourself that you not also be tempted.
[2]Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the Law of Christ.
[3]For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
[4]But let each one prove his own work, and then he alone will have rejoicing in himself, and not in another.
[5]For each one shall bear his own load.
[6]Let him being taught the Word share in all good things with him who teaches.
[7]Do not be led astray, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
[8]For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap eternal life.
[9]And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not faint.
[10]Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
[11]See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand.
[12]As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
[13]For not even those who are circumcised keep the Law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
[14]But may it never be that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
[15]For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any power, but a new creation.
[16]And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
[17]From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the brand marks of the Lord Jesus.
[18]Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
