1 B rethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

2 B ear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

3 F or if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

4 B ut let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

5 F or each one shall bear his own load. Be Generous and Do Good

6 L et him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

7 D o not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

8 F or he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

9 A nd let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

10 T herefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. Glory Only in the Cross

11 S ee with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!

12 A s many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

13 F or not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

14 B ut God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

15 F or in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. Blessing and a Plea

16 A nd as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

17 F rom now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

18 B rethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
