¹ Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, do you, who are spiritual, restore him with all gentleness, taking heed lest you yourselves be overcome by temptation. ² bear with one another's infirmities, and so fulfil the law of Christ. ³ for if a man thinks himself to be considerable, when he is not, he deceives himself. ⁴ but let every one bring his own work to the test, and then he will have matter of glorying in himself alone, and not in another. ⁵ for every man must be answerable for his own actions. ⁶ Let him that is instructed in the word freely communicate his good things to him that teaches him. ⁷ be not deceived, God will not be mocked: for what a man soweth, that shall he also reap: ⁸ he that soweth to his vices, shall reap the deadly fruit of his vices; but he that sows to the spirit, shall of the spirit reap everlasting life. ⁹ let us then not be weary in doing good, for in due season we shall reap, if we be not tired. ¹⁰ therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good offices to all men, especially to the family of believers.

¹¹ You see how long a letter I have writ to you with my own hand. ¹² they who desire to make a figure in the world, constrain you to be circumcised, only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. ¹³ for even they who are circumcised, do not themselves observe the law in other respects; but they dedesire to have you circumcised, that they may have matter of glorying upon that account. ¹⁴ but far be it from me that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is as contemptible to me, as I am to the world. ¹⁵ for in the dispensation of Jesus Christ, neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but the new creation. ¹⁶ as many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, even upon the Israel of God. ¹⁷ from henceforth let no man give me trouble; for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁸ Brethren, the favour of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. amen.
