| 1 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you 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 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 load. |
| 6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. |
| 7 Do not be deceived, 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 everlasting life. |
| 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. |
| 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 would 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 God forbid 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 avails anything, 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 marks of the Lord Jesus. |
| 18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. |
