6:1 |
My friends, if anyone is detected in a transgression, you who have received the Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness. Take care that you yourselves are not tempted.
|
6:2 |
Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
|
6:3 |
For if those who are nothing think they are something, they deceive themselves.
|
6:4 |
All must test their own work; then that work, rather than their neighbor's work, will become a cause for pride.
|
6:5 |
For all must carry their own loads.
|
6:6 |
Those who are taught the word must share in all good things with their teacher.
|
6:7 |
Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow.
|
6:8 |
If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
|
6:9 |
|
6:10 |
So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith.
|
6:11 |
See what large letters I make when I am writing in my own hand!
|
6:12 |
It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that try to compel you to be circumcised-- only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
|
6:13 |
Even the circumcised do not themselves obey the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast about your flesh.
|
6:14 |
May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
|
6:15 |
For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything; but a new creation is everything!
|
6:16 |
As for those who will follow this rule-- peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
|
6:17 |
From now on, let no one make trouble for me; for I carry the marks of Jesus branded on my body.
|
6:18 |
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
