BRETHREN, if a man be
overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the
spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one
another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 For if a
man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4 But let every man prove his own work, and
then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5 For every
man shall bear his own burden.
6 Let him that is taught in
the word communication unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7 Be not deceived; God is not
mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his
flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit
shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in
well-doing: for in due season we
shall reap if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore
opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the
household of faith.
11 Ye see how large a letter I
have written unto you with mine own hand.
12 As many as desire to make a
fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they
should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 For neither they themselves
who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that
they may glory in your flesh.
14 But God forbid that I should
glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the worked is
crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither
circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 And as many as walk
according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of
God.
17 From henceforth let no man
trouble me: for I bear in my body the
marks of the Lord Jesus.
18 Brethren, the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Amen.
