Bear and Share the Burdens

6 Brethren, if a man is 1overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of agentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. 2 bBear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill cthe law of Christ. 3 For dif anyone thinks himself to be something, when ehe is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But flet each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and gnot in another. 5 For heach one shall bear his own load.

Be Generous and Do Good

6 iLet him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for jwhatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap keverlasting life. 9 And llet us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap mif we do not lose heart. 10 nTherefore, as we have opportunity, olet us do good to all, pespecially to those who are of the household of faith.

Glory Only in the Cross

11 See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand! 12 As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, qonly that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the rcross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by 2whom the world has been crucified to me, and sI to the world. 15 For tin Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.

Blessing and a Plea

16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

17 From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
