1 And, brothers, if a man has been overtaken by any offense, you who are spiritual should instruct someone like this with a spirit of leniency, considering that you yourselves might also be tempted. Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.
2 Carry one another’s burdens, and so shall you fulfill the law of Christ. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For if anyone considers himself to be something, though he may be nothing, he deceives himself. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves.
4 So let each one prove his own work. And in this way, he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else,
5 For each one shall carry his own burden. For each will have to bear his own load. for each one should carry their own load.
6 And let him who is being taught the Word discuss it with him who is teaching it to him, in every good way. Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
7 Do not choose to wander astray. God is not to be ridiculed. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
8 For whatever a man will have sown, that also shall he reap. For whoever sows in his flesh, from the flesh he shall also reap corruption. But whoever sows in the Spirit, from the Spirit he shall reap eternal life. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
9 And so, let us not be deficient in doing good. For in due time, we shall reap without fail. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
10 Therefore, while we have time, we should do good works toward everyone, and most of all toward those who are of the household of the faith. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
11 Consider what kind of letters I have written to you with my own hand. See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
12 For as many of you as they desire to please in the flesh, they compel to be circumcised, but only so that they might not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ. It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 And yet, neither do they themselves, who are circumcised, keep the law. Instead, they want you to be circumcised, so that they may glory in your flesh. For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.
14 But far be it from me to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 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 in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails in any way, but instead there is a new creature. For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation.
16 And whoever follows this rule: may peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to the Israel of God.
17 Concerning other matters, let no one trouble me. For I carry the stigmata of the Lord Jesus in my body. From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
