Carry One Another’s Burdens

1BRETHREN, if a man also be surprised into any act of offence, ye that are spiritual, replace such a one in the spirit of meekness; keeping an attentive eye on thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2Bear ye one another?s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3For if any man conceits that he is something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4But let every man bring his own work to the test, and then shall he have glorying in himself alone, and not by comparison with another. 5For every man shall bear his own burden.

6Let him who is a learner of the word communicate to his instructor in all good things. 7Be not deceived; God is not to be trifled with: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8For he that soweth unto his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption, and he that soweth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9Let us not then be weary of well-doing; for in due time we shall reap, if we faint not. 10Well then, whilst we have opportunity, let us do good unto all men, but especially unto those who are of the household of faith.

Final Warnings and Blessings

11Ye see in how many words I have written unto you with my own hand. 12As many as wish to make a fair appearance in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13For even they who are themselves circumcised do not keep the law, but desire you to be 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 unto me, and I unto the world, 15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

16And as many as shall walk after this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

17Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear the marks of our Lord Jesus Christ in my body.

18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.To the Galatians, written from Rome.
