| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5For we are each responsible for our own conduct. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith. Paul’s Final Advice |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11 Notice what large letters I use as I write these closing words in my own handwriting. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Those who are trying to force you to be circumcised want to look good to others. They don’t want to be persecuted for teaching that the cross of Christ alone can save. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13And even those who advocate circumcision don’t keep the whole law themselves. They only want you to be circumcised so they can boast about it and claim you as their disciples. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16May God’s peace and mercy be upon all who live by this principle; they are the new people of God. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17From now on, don’t let anyone trouble me with these things. For I bear on my body the scars that show I belong to Jesus. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Dear brothers and sisters, may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. |
