Chapter 6

¹Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who [are] spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself -- lest thou also may be tempted; ²of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ, ³for if any one doth think [himself] to be something -- being nothing -- himself he doth deceive; ⁴and his own work let each one prove, and then in regard to himself alone the glorying he shall have, and not in regard to the other, ⁵for each one his own burden shall bear. ⁶And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing -- in all good things. ⁷Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow -- that also he shall reap, ⁸because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during; ⁹and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding; ¹⁰therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith. ¹¹Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand; ¹²as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted, ¹³for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory. ¹⁴And for me, let it not be -- to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world; ¹⁵for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; ¹⁶and as many as by this rule do walk -- peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God! ¹⁷Henceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body do bear. ¹⁸The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit, brethren! Amen.
