1MY brethren, if any one be found at fault, you who are spiritual, restore him in a spirit of meekness; and be careful lest you also be tempted. 2Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3For if man thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4But let every man examine his own work, and then may he glory within himself alone, and not among others. 5For every man shall bear his own burden.

6Let him who is taught the word, become a partaker with him who teaches all good things. 7Do not be deceived; God is not deceived: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. 8He who sows things of the flesh, from the flesh shall reap corruption; he who sows things of the Spirit, from the Spirit shall reap life everlasting. 9Let us not be weary in welldoing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to those who belong to the household of faith.

11You can see how long a letter I have written to you with my own hand. 12Those who desire to boast in the things of the flesh, are the ones who compel you to be circumcised only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13For not even they who are circumcised obey the law; but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast over your flesh. 14But as for me, I have nothing on which to boast, except the cross of our LORD Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me and I am crucified unto the world. 15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision is anything, nor uncircumcision, but it is a new creation that counts.

16And upon those who follow this path be peace and mercy; and upon the Israel of God, be peace and mercy.

17From henceforth let no man trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of our LORD Jesus Christ.

18My brethren, the grace of our LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
