1 BRETHREN, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering 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 think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. | |
4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. | |
5 For every man shall bear his own burden. | |
6 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 to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. | |
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. | |
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. | |
11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. | |
12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. | |
13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. | |
14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. | |
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. | |
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. | |
17 From henceforth let no man 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. | |
