Galatians 6

¹ Brothers, even if a person is caught in some transgression, you who are spiritual should correct that one in a gentle spirit, looking to yourself, so that you also may not be tempted.

² Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.

³ For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he is deluding himself.

⁴ Each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast with regard to himself alone, and not with regard to someone else;

⁵ for each will bear his own load.

⁶ One who is being instructed in the word should share all good things with his instructor.

⁷ Make no mistake: God is not mocked, for a person will reap only what he sows,

⁸ because the one who sows for his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows for the spirit will reap eternal life from the spirit.

⁹ Let us not grow tired of doing good, for in due time we shall reap our harvest, if we do not give up.

¹⁰ So then, while we have the opportunity, let us do good to all, but especially to those who belong to the family of the faith.

¹¹ See with what large letters I am writing to you in my own hand!

¹² It is those who want to make a good appearance in the flesh who are trying to compel you to have yourselves circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

¹³ Not even those having themselves circumcised observe the law themselves; they only want you to be circumcised so that they may boast of your flesh.

¹⁴ But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

¹⁵ For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision, but only a new creation.

¹⁶ Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God.

¹⁷ From now on, let no one make troubles for me; for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.

¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
