| 6:1 |
Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
|
| 6:2 |
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
|
| 6:3 |
If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
|
| 6:4 |
Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else,
|
| 6:5 |
for each one should carry his own load.
|
| 6:6 |
Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.
|
| 6:7 |
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
|
| 6:8 |
The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
|
| 6:9 |
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
|
| 6:10 |
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
|
| 6:11 |
See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
|
| 6:12 |
Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
|
| 6:13 |
Not even those who are circumcised obey the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh.
|
| 6:14 |
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
|
| 6:15 |
Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.
|
| 6:16 |
Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God.
|
| 6:17 |
Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
|
| 6:18 |
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
