1Brethren, 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. 2Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4But let each one test his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in his neighbor. 5For each one will bear his own load. 6Let the one who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. 7Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8For 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. 9Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. 10So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. 11See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. 12Those 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. 13For 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. 14But 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. 15For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but what counts is a new creation. 16Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God. 17From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
