Bear One Another's Burdens

1Brothers, if a man be overtaken in a fault, you which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering yourself, lest you also be tempted. 2Bear you one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5For every man shall bear his own burden.

6Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teaches in all good things. 7Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap. 8For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to them who are of the household of faith.

Paul's Final Warning

11You see how large a letter I have written to you with my own hand. 12As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. 15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

Benediction

16And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and on the Israel of God.

17From now on let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

18Brothers, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
