6:1 Brethren, even if a man is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; [each one] looking to yourself, lest you too be tempted. 6:2 Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ. 6:3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 6:4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have [reason for] boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another. 6:5 For each one shall bear his own load. 6:6 And let the one who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches. 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. 6:8 For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life. 6:9 And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary. 6:10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith. 6:11 See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. 6:12 Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 6:13 For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh. 6:14 But may it never be that I should boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 6:15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 6:16 And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy [be] upon them, and upon the Israel of God. 6:17 From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus. 6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
