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. |
