[1] Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual
must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so
that you also aren`t tempted. [2] Bear one another`s burdens, and so
fulfill the law of Christ. [3] For if a man thinks himself to be something
when he is nothing, he deceives himself. [4] But let each man test his own
work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor. [5]
For each man will bear his own burden. [6] But let him who is taught in the
word share all good things with him who teaches. [7] Don`t be deceived. God
is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that will he also reap. [8] For he
who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who
sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. [9] Let us not
be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don`t give
up. [10] So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good
toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the
faith. [11] See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
[12] As many as desire to look good in the flesh, they compel you to be
circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
[13] For even they who receive circumcision don`t keep the law themselves,
but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
[14] But far be it from me to boast, 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 neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a
new creation. [16] As many as will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on
them, and on God`s Israel. [17] From now on, let no one cause me any
trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body. [18] The grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
