6:1 |
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. |
6:2 |
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. |
6:3 |
For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. |
6:4 |
But let each man test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor. |
6:5 |
For each man will bear his own burden. |
6:6 |
But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches. |
6:7 |
Don't be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. |
6:8 |
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. |
6:9 |
Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up. |
6:10 |
So then, as we have opportunity, let's do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith. |
6:11 |
See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand. |
6:12 |
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. |
6:13 |
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. |
6:14 |
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. |
6:15 |
For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. |
6:16 |
As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God's Israel. |
6:17 |
From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body. |
6:18 |
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. |
