6:1 Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. 6:2 Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. 6:3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 6:4 But each one must 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 will bear his own load. 6:6 The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him. 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 will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 6:9 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. 6:10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, 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 so that they will 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 so that they may boast in your flesh. 6:14 But may it never be that I would 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.
