¹ Brothers, if a man is taken in some fault, you, the spiritual ones, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself, that you not also be tempted.

² Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.

³ For if anyone thinks to be something, he deceives himself, being nothing.

⁴ But let each one prove his work, and then he alone will have a boast in himself and not as to another.

⁵ For each one will bear his own load.

⁶ But let the one being taught in the word share with the one teaching, in all good things.

⁷ Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. For whatever a man may sow, that he also will reap.

⁸ For the one sowing to his flesh will reap corruption of the flesh. But the one sowing to the Spirit will reap everlasting life from the Spirit.

⁹ But we should not weaken in doing good, for in due time we shall reap, if we do not faint.

¹⁰ So then, as we have time, let us work good toward all, and especially toward the household of the faith.

¹¹ See in what large letters I write to you with my hand.

¹² As many as desire to look well in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

¹³ For they themselves having been circumcised do not even keep the Law, but they desire you to be circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.

¹⁴ But may it never be for me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

¹⁵ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any strength nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

¹⁶ And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them and on the Israel of God.

¹⁷ For the rest, let no one give troubles to me, for I bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
