1 Brethren, even if anyone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.
2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 But let each one test his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in his neighbor.
5 For each one will bear his own load.
6 Let the one who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.
7 Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
9 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
11 See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
12 Those who want to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.
14 But may it never be that I would 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 is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but what counts is a new creation.
16 Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God.
17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
