1   Brothers, even if someone is caught in some wrongdoing, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also are not tempted. 2   Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3   For if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4   But let each one test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor. 5   For every person will bear his own load. 6   But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches. 7   Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a person sows, that he will also reap. 8   For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9   Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up. 10   So then, as we have opportunity, let us do what is good toward all people, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith. 11   See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand. 12   As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13   For even they who receive circumcision do not keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh. 14   But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15   For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16   As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God's Israel. 17   From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body. 18   The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
