¹ My brethren, if one of you should be overtaken in a fault, do ye who are of the Spirit recover him, in a spirit of meekness: and be ye cautious, lest ye also be tempted.² And bear ye one another's burdens, that so ye may fulfill the law of the Messiah.³ For if any one thinketh himself to be something, when he is not, he deceiveth himself.⁴ But let a man examine his own conduct; and then his glorying will be within himself, and not in others.⁵ For every man must take up his own load.⁶ And let him that heareth the word, communicate to him who instructeth him, in all good things.⁷ Do not mistake; God is not deceived; for what a man soweth, that also will he reap.⁸ He who soweth in the flesh, reapeth from the flesh corruption: and he who soweth in the Spirit, will from the Spirit reap life everlasting.⁹ And while we do what is good, let it not be wearisome to us; for the time will come when we shall reap, and it will not be tedious to us.¹⁰ Now, therefore, while we have the opportunity, let us practice good works towards all men, and especially towards them of the household of faith.

¹¹ Behold, this epistle have I written to you with my own hand.¹² They who are disposed to glory in the flesh, they urge you to become circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted on account of the cross of the Messiah.¹³ For not even they themselves, who are circumcised, keep the law: but they wish you to become circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.¹⁴ But as for me, let me not glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; by whom the world is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world.¹⁵ For circumcision is nothing; neither is uncircumcision; but a new creation.¹⁶ And they who press forward in this path, peace be on them, and mercy; and on the Israel of God.¹⁷ Henceforth let no one put trouble upon me; for I bear in my body the marks of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.¹⁸ My brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, be with your spirit. Amen.
