1: Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which
are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness;
considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. |
|
2: Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of
Christ. |
|
3: For if a man think himself to be something, when he is
nothing, he deceiveth himself. |
|
4: But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have
rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. |
|
5: For every man shall bear his own burden. |
|
6: Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that
teacheth in all good things. |
|
7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap. |
|
8: For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap
life everlasting. |
|
9: And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we
shall reap, if we faint not. |
|
10: As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all
men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. |
|
11: Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine
own hand. |
|
12: As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they
constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer
persecution for the cross of Christ. |
|
13: For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law;
but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
|
|
14: But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto
the world. |
|
15: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything,
nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. |
|
16: And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them,
and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. |
|
17: From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body
the marks of the Lord Jesus. |
|
18: Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your
spirit. Amen. |
