NEW JERUSALEMCATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Brothers, even if one of you is caught doing something wrong, those of you who are spiritual should setthat person right in a spirit of gentleness; and watch yourselves that you are not put to the test in the same way.1 And, brothers, if a man has been overtaken by any offense, you who are spiritual should instruct someone like this with a spirit of leniency, considering that you yourselves might also be tempted.
2 Carry each other's burdens; that is how to keep the law of Christ.2 Carry one another’s burdens, and so shall you fulfill the law of Christ.
3 Someone who thinks himself important, when he is not, only deceives himself;3 For if anyone considers himself to be something, though he may be nothing, he deceives himself.
4 but everyone is to examine his own achievements, and then he wil confine his boasting to his ownachievements, not comparing them with anybody else's.4 So let each one prove his own work. And in this way, he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another.
5 Each one has his own load to carry.5 For each one shall carry his own burden.
6 When someone is under instruction in doctrine, he should give his teacher a share in al hispossessions.6 And let him who is being taught the Word discuss it with him who is teaching it to him, in every good way.
7 Don't delude yourself: God is not to be fooled; whatever someone sows, that is what he wil reap.7 Do not choose to wander astray. God is not to be ridiculed.
8 If his sowing is in the field of self-indulgence, then his harvest from it wil be corruption; if his sowing is inthe Spirit, then his harvest from the Spirit wil be eternal life.8 For whatever a man will have sown, that also shall he reap. For whoever sows in his flesh, from the flesh he shall also reap corruption. But whoever sows in the Spirit, from the Spirit he shall reap eternal life.
9 And let us never slacken in doing good; for if we do not give up, we shal have our harvest in due time.9 And so, let us not be deficient in doing good. For in due time, we shall reap without fail.
10 So then, as long as we have the opportunity let al our actions be for the good of everybody, andespecial y of those who belong to the household of the faith.10 Therefore, while we have time, we should do good works toward everyone, and most of all toward those who are of the household of the faith.
11 Notice what large letters I have used in writing to you with my own hand.11 Consider what kind of letters I have written to you with my own hand.
12 It is those who want to cut a figure by human standards who force circumcision on you, simply so thatthey will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.12 For as many of you as they desire to please in the flesh, they compel to be circumcised, but only so that they might not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ.
13 Even though they are circumcised they stil do not keep the Law themselves; they want you to becircumcised only so that they can boast of your outward appearance.13 And yet, neither do they themselves, who are circumcised, keep the law. Instead, they want you to be circumcised, so that they may glory in your flesh.
14 But as for me, it is out of the question that I should boast at al , except of the cross of our Lord JesusChrist, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.14 But far be it from me to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 It is not being circumcised or uncircumcised that matters; but what matters is a new creation.15 For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails in any way, but instead there is a new creature.
16 Peace and mercy to al who fol ow this as their rule and to the Israel of God.16 And whoever follows this rule: may peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
17 After this, let no one trouble me; I carry branded on my body the marks of Jesus.17 Concerning other matters, let no one trouble me. For I carry the stigmata of the Lord Jesus in my body.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, my brothers. Amen.18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
