Galatians 6

Chapter 6

Bear One Another’s Burdens

^1aBrethren, even if ¹anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are ^bspiritual, ^crestore such a one ^din a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.

^2aBear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill ^bthe law of Christ.

³For ^aif anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

⁴But each one must ^aexamine his own work, and then he will have reason for ^bboasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.

⁵For ^aeach one will bear his own load.

^6aThe one who is taught ^bthe word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.

^7aDo not be deceived, ^bGod is not mocked; for ^cwhatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

^8aFor the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap ^bcorruption, but ^cthe one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

^9aLet us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we ^bdo not grow weary.

¹⁰So then, ^1awhile we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the ^bhousehold of ^cthe faith.

¹¹See with what large letters I ¹am writing to you ^awith my own hand.

¹²Those who desire ^ato make a good showing in the flesh try to ^bcompel you to be circumcised, simply so that they ^cwill not be persecuted ¹for the cross of Christ.

¹³For those who ¹are circumcised do not even ^akeep ²the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may ^bboast in your flesh.

¹⁴But ^amay it never be that I would boast, ^bexcept in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^cthrough ¹which the world has been crucified to me, and ^dI to the world.

¹⁵For ^aneither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a ^bnew ¹creation.

¹⁶And those who will ¹walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the ^aIsrael of God.

¹⁷From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the ^abrand-marks of Jesus.

^18aThe grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be ^bwith your spirit, ^cbrethren. Amen.
