1Brethren , 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 . 2Bear ye one another ’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ . 3For if a man thinketh himself to be something when he is nothing , he deceiveth himself . 4But let each man prove his own work , and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone , and not of his neighbor . 5For each man shall bear his own burden .
Sowing and Reaping
6But let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things . 7Be not deceived ; God is not mocked : for whatsoever a man soweth , that shall he also reap . 8For 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 . 9And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap , if we faint not . 10So 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 .
Final Warnings and Personal Remarks
11See with how large letters I write unto you with mine own hand . 12As 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 . 13For 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 . 14But 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 . 15For neither is circumcision anything , nor uncircumcision, but a new creature . 16And as many as shall walk by this rule , peace be upon them , and mercy , and upon the Israel of God . 17Henceforth let no man trouble me ; for I bear branded on my body the marks of Jesus . 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit , brethren . Amen.
