Galatians
6
- Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin,
you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you
also may be tempted.
- Carry each other's burdens, and in this
way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
- If anyone thinks he is something when he
is nothing, he deceives himself.
- Each one should test his own actions. Then
he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else,
- for each one should carry his own load.
- Anyone who receives instruction in the word
must share all good things with his instructor.
- Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked.
A man reaps what he sows.
- The one who sows to please his sinful nature,
from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit,
from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
- Let us not become weary in doing good, for
at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
- Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us
do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
- See what large letters I use as I write
to you with my own hand !
- Those who want to make a good impression
outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they
do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
- Not even those who are circumcised obey
the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your
flesh.
- May I never boast except in the cross of
our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and
I to the world.
- Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision
means anything; what counts is a new creation.
- Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule,
even to the Israel of God.
- Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for
I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
- The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
your spirit, brothers. Amen.
