¹ Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye who are spiritual, restore such one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.² Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.³ For if a man thinketh 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 to him that teacheth in all good things.⁷ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.⁸ For he that soweth to his flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption: but he that soweth to the Spirit, shall from 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 to all [men], especially to them who are of the household of faith.

¹¹ Ye see how large a letter I have written to you with my own hand.¹² As many as desire to make a fair show 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 may it never be that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to 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.
