Galatians - Chapter 6

¹ Brothers, even if one of you is caught doing something wrong, those of you who are spiritual should set that person right in a spirit of gentleness; and watch yourselves that you are not put to the test in the same way.

² Carry each other's burdens; that is how to keep the law of Christ.

³ Someone who thinks himself important, when he is not, only deceives himself;

⁴ but everyone is to examine his own achievements, and then he will confine his boasting to his own achievements, not comparing them with anybody else's.

⁵ Each one has his own load to carry.

⁶ When someone is under instruction in doctrine, he should give his teacher a share in all his possessions.

⁷ Don't delude yourself: God is not to be fooled; whatever someone sows, that is what he will reap.

⁸ If his sowing is in the field of self-indulgence, then his harvest from it will be corruption; if his sowing is in the Spirit, then his harvest from the Spirit will be eternal life.

⁹ And let us never slacken in doing good; for if we do not give up, we shall have our harvest in due time.

¹⁰ So then, as long as we have the opportunity let all our actions be for the good of everybody, and especially of those who belong to the household of the faith.

¹¹ Notice what large letters I have used in writing to you with my own hand.

¹² It is those who want to cut a figure by human standards who force circumcision on you, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

¹³ Even though they are circumcised they still do not keep the Law themselves; they want you to be circumcised only so that they can boast of your outward appearance.

¹⁴ But as for me, it is out of the question that I should boast at all, except of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

¹⁵ It is not being circumcised or uncircumcised that matters; but what matters is a new creation.

¹⁶ Peace and mercy to all who follow this as their rule and to the Israel of God.

¹⁷ After this, let no one trouble me; I carry branded on my body the marks of Jesus.

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