Galatians 6

Bear One Another’s Burdens

1 Brothers, even if ^{▼▼Gr anthropos}anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, each of you looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another. 5 For each one will bear his own load.

6 And the one who is instructed in the word is to share in all good things with the one who instructs him. 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. 10 So then, ^{▼▼Or as}while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

11 See with what large letters I ^{▼▼Or have written}am writing to you with my own hand! 12 As many as are wanting to make a good showing in the flesh, these are trying to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted ^{▼▼Or because of}for the cross of Christ. 13 For those who ^{▼▼Two early mss have been}are circumcised do not even keep ^{▼▼Or law}the Law themselves, but they want to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through ^{▼▼Or whom}which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new ^{▼▼Or creature}creation. 16 And those who will ^{▼▼Lit following in line}walk in step with this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

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

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