Galatians 6

1Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual should restore that person with a gentle spirit. Keep watch on yourself, so that you too are not tempted.

2Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

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

4Each one should test his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself alone and not in comparison with someone else.

5For each one will carry his own load.

6The one who is taught the word should share all good things with the one who teaches.

7Do not be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows, that is what he will also reap.

8The one who sows to his own flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.

9Let us not grow weary of doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

10So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who belong to the household of faith.

11See what large letters I am using as I write to you with my own hand!

12Those who want to make a good showing in the flesh are the ones trying to compel you to be circumcised, only so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

13For even those who are circumcised do not keep the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast about your flesh.

14But may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

15For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what matters is a new creation.

16And as for all who will follow this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on the Israel of God.

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

18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
