Galatians 6:1-18
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are
spiritual should restore him in a spirit of
gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
2 Bear one another's burdens, and so
fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is
something, when he is nothing, he deceives
himself. 4 But let each one test his own work, and then
his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not
in his neighbor. 5 For each will have to bear his own
load. 6 Let the one who is taught the Word share all
good things with the one who teaches. 7 Do not be
deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one 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 of doing good,
for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 10
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to
everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of
faith.
11 See with what large letters I am writing to you with
my own hand. 12 It is those who want to make a
good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised,
and only in order that they may not be
persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For even those
who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law,
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, by which the
world has been crucified to me, and I to
the world. 15 For neither circumcision counts for
anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new
creation. 16 And as for all who walk by this rule, peace
and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of
God. 17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I
bear on my body the marks of Jesus. 18 The grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
