Galatians 6
1 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore that person with a gentle spirit. Keep watch over yourself, so that you too are not tempted.
2 Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For if anyone thinks they are something when they are nothing, they deceive themselves.
4 Each person should examine their own work, and then they will have a reason to take pride in themselves alone, not in someone else.
5 For each person will carry their own load.
6 Let the one being taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches.
7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows, that is what they will also reap.
8 For the one who sows to their own human impulses will reap corruption from them, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
9 Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give up.
10 So then, while we have the opportunity, let us do good to everyone, especially to those who belong to the family of faith.
11 See what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
12 All who want to make a good impression outwardly are the ones who force you to be circumcised, simply so they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 For even those who are circumcised do not keep the Law, but they want you to be circumcised so they can take pride in your flesh.
14 As for me, may I never take pride in anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but a new creation.
16 Peace and mercy be upon all who follow this rule, and upon the Israel of God.
17 From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.
18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
