Galatians 6
- 1
Brothers and sisters, if a person is discovered in some sin, you who are spiritual restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness. Pay close attention to yourselves, so that you are not tempted too.
- 2
Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
- 3
For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
- 4
Let each one examine his own work. Then he can take pride in himself and not compare himself with someone else.
- 5
For each one will carry his own load.
- 6
Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it.
- 7
Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows,
- 8
because the person who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
- 9
So we must not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.
- 10
So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith.
- 11
See what big letters I make as I write to you with my own hand!
- 12
Those who want to make a good showing in external matters are trying to force you to be circumcised. They do so only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
- 13
For those who are circumcised do not obey the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh.
- 14
But 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.
- 15
For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; the only thing that matters is a new creation!
- 16
And all who will behave in accordance with this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on the Israel of God.
- 17
From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.
- 18
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
