Brethren, and if a man be overtaken in any fault, you, who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
|
2
|
Bear ye one another's burdens: and so you shall fulfil the law of Christ.
|
3
|
For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
|
4
|
But let every one prove his own work: and so he shall have glory in himself only and not in another.
|
5
|
For every one shall bear his own burden.
|
6
|
And let him that is instructed in the word communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things.
|
7
|
Be not deceived: God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap.
|
8
|
For he that soweth in his flesh of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit of the spirit shall reap life everlasting.
|
9
|
And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing.
|
10
|
Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
|
11
|
See what a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
|
12
|
For as many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ.
|
13
|
For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law: but they will have you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
|
14
|
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
|
15
|
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but a new creature.
|
16
|
And whosoever shall follow this rule, peace on them and mercy: and upon the Israel of God.
|
17
|
From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me: for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body.
|
18
|
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
