Carry One Another’s Burdens
Verse1Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
Verse2Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Verse3If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Verse4Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.
Verse5For each one should carry his own load.
Verse6Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.
Verse7Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.
Verse8The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Verse9Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Verse10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.
Final Warnings and Blessings
Verse11See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!
Verse12Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.
Verse13For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
Verse14But as for me, 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.
Verse15For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.
Verse16Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.
Verse17From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
Verse18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
