6:1 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.
6:2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
6:3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
6:4 Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else,
6:5 for each one should carry his own load.
6:6 Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.
6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
6:8 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.
6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
6:11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
6:12 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.
6:13 Not even those who are circumcised obey the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh.
6:14 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.
6:15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.
6:16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God.
6:17 Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
6:1 Brothers, even if a man is overtaken in some offense, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, looking to yourself lest you also be tempted.
6:2 Bear one another s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ completely.
6:3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
6:4 But let each man prove his own work, and then he will have his boast in regard to himself alone and not in regard to another.
6:5 For each one shall bear his own load.
6:6 But let him who is instructed in the word share in all good things with him who instructs.
6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
6:8 For he who sows unto his own flesh will reap corruption of the flesh, but he who sows unto the Spirit will of the Spirit reap eternal life.
6:9 And let us not lose heart in doing what is good, for in the proper season we will reap if we do not faint.
6:10 So then, as we have the opportunity, let us do what is good toward all, but especially toward those of the household of the faith.
6:11 See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand.
6:12 As many as desire to make a good show in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, but only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
6:13 For neither do they that become circumcised keep the law themselves, but they desire you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
6:14 But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me and I to the world.
6:15 For neither is circumcision anything nor uncircumcision, but a new creation is what matters.
6:16 And as many as walk by this rule, peace be upon them and mercy, even upon the Israel of God.
6:17 Henceforth let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the brands of Jesus.
6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
