Galatians 6

1Help Each Other

Brothers, if a person is caught doing something wrong, those of you who are spiritual should restore that person in a spirit of gentleness. Watch out for yourself so that you are not tempted as well.Rom 14:1; 15:1; 1Cor 2:15; 3:1; 4:21; 7:5; 10:12; 2Thes 3:15; 2Tim 2:25; Heb 12:13; James 5:19
2Practice carrying each other's burdens. In this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.John 13:14-15, 34; 15:12; Rom 15:1; Gal 5:13; 1Thes 5:14; James 2:8; 1John 4:21 3For if anyone thinks he is something when he is really nothing, he is only fooling himself.Rom 12:3; 1Cor 8:2; 2Cor 3:5; 12:11; Gal 2:6 4Each person must approve his own actions, and then he can boast about his own accomplishments and not those of his neighbor.Luke 18:11; 1Cor 11:28; 2Cor 13:5 5For everyone must carry his own load.Rom 2:6; 1Cor 3:8

6The person who is taught the word should share all his goods with his teacher.Rom 15:27; 1Cor 9:11, 14 7Stop being
Or Do not be
deceived; God is not to be ridiculed. A person harvests whatever he plants.Job 13:9; Luke 16:25; Rom 2:6; 1Cor 6:9; 15:33; 2Cor 9:6
8For the person who plants in his flesh will harvest decay from the flesh, but the person who plants in the Spirit will harvest eternal life from the Spirit.Job 4:8; Prov 11:18; 22:8; Hos 8:7; 10:12; Rom 8:13; James 3:18 9Let us not get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest—if we do not give up.Matt 24:13; 1Cor 15:58; 2Thes 3:13; Heb 3:6, 14; 10:36; Rev 2:10 10So then, whenever we have the opportunity, let us practice doing good to everyone, especially to the family of faith.John 9:4; 12:35; Eph 2:19; 1Thes 5:15; 1Tim 6:18; Titus 3:8; Heb 3:6

11A Final Warning Against CircumcisionLook at how large these letters are because I am writing with my own hand! 12These people who want to impress others by their flesh are trying to force you to be circumcised, simply to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.Gal 2:3, 14; 5:11; Phil 3:18 13Why, not even those who are circumcised obey the law! They simply want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh. 14But may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world!Rom 6:6; Gal 2:20; Phil 3:3, 7-8 15For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters. Rather, what matters is being
The Gk. lacks what matters is being
a new creation.1Cor 7:19; 2Cor 5:17; Gal 5:6; Col 3:11
16Now may peace be on all those who live by this principle, and may mercy be on the Israel of God.Ps 125:5; Rom 2:29; 4:12; 9:6-8; Gal 3:7, 9, 29; Phil 3:3, 16, 29 17From now on let no one make trouble for me, for I carry the scars of Jesus on my own body.2Cor 1:5; 4:10; 11:23; Gal 5:11; Col 1:24

18Final GreetingMay the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers! Amen.2Tim 4:22
