Galatians 6

Bear and Share the Burdens

6Brethren, 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. ^2bBear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill ^cthe law of Christ. ³For ^dif anyone thinks himself to be something, when ^ehe is nothing, he deceives himself. ⁴But ^flet each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and ^gnot in another. ⁵For ^heach one shall bear his own load.

Be Generous and Do Good

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

⁷Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for ^jwhatever a man sows, that he will also reap. ⁸For 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. ⁹And ^llet us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap ^mif we do not lose heart. ¹⁰ⁿTherefore, 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

¹¹See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand! ¹²As 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. ¹³For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. ¹⁴But 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. ¹⁵For ^tin Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.

Blessing and a Plea

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

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

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