Chapter 6 |
1 | Brethren, if a
man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the
spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. |
2 |
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. |
3 | For if
a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth
himself. |
4
| But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he
have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. |
5 | For every man
shall bear his own burden. |
6 | Let him that is taught in the word
communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. |
7 | Be not
deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap. |
8 |
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting. |
9
| And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season
we shall reap, if we faint not. |
10 | As we have therefore
opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the
household of faith. |
11 | Ye see how large a letter I have written
unto you with mine own hand. |
12 | As many as desire to make a fair shew
in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should
suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. |
13 | For neither they
themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you
circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. |
14 | But God
forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom
the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. |
15 | For in
Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a
new creature. |
16 | And as many as walk according to this rule, peace
be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. |
17 | From
henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord
Jesus. |
18
| Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your
spirit. Amen. |
