Bear One Another's Burdens

¹Brothers,1 oif anyone is caught in any transgression, pyou who are spiritual should restore him in qa spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. ²rBear one another's burdens, and sso fulfill tthe law of Christ. ³For uif anyone thinks he is something, vwhen he is nothing, he deceives himself. ⁴But let each one wtest his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. ⁵For xeach will have to bear his own load.

⁶yLet the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. ⁷zDo not be deceived: God is not mocked, for awhatever one sows, that will he also reap. ⁸For bthe one who sows to his own flesh cwill from the flesh reap corruption, but dthe one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. ⁹And elet us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, fif we do not give up. ¹⁰So then, gas we have opportunity, let us hdo good to everyone, and especially to those who are iof the household of faith.

Final Warning and Benediction

¹¹See with what large letters I am writing to you jwith my own hand. ¹²kIt is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh lwho would force you to be circumcised, and only min order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. ¹³For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. ¹⁴But far be it from me to boast nexcept in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which2 the world ohas been crucified to me, and I to the world. ¹⁵For pneither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but qa new creation. ¹⁶And as for all who walk by this rule, rpeace and mercy be upon them, and upon sthe Israel of God.

¹⁷From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

¹⁸tThe grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be uwith your spirit, brothers. Amen.
