| 1 Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are
spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself,
lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil
the law of Christ. 3 For if a man thinketh himself to be something when he
is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let each man prove his own work,
and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of
his neighbor. 5 For each man shall bear his own burden. 6 But let him
that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good
things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of
the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the
Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in
due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 So then, as we have
opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially
toward them that are of the household of the faith. 11 See with how large
letters I write unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make
a fair show in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they
may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For not even they who
receive circumcision do themselves keep the law; but they desire to have you
circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But far be it from me
to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world
hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For neither is
circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as
many as shall walk by this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and
upon the Israel of God. 17 Henceforth, let no man trouble me; for I bear
branded on my body the marks of Jesus. 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
