6:1 Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who [are] spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself -- lest thou also may be tempted;
6:2 of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,
6:3 for if any one doth think [himself] to be something -- being nothing -- himself he doth deceive;
6:4 and his own work let each one prove, and then in regard to himself alone the glorying he shall have, and not in regard to the other,
6:6 And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing -- in all good things.
6:7 Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow -- that also he shall reap,
6:8 because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during;
6:9 and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding;
6:10 therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.
6:11 Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand;
6:12 as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,
6:13 for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory.
6:14 And for me, let it not be -- to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world;
6:15 for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;
6:16 and as many as by this rule do walk -- peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God!
6:17 Henceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body do bear.
6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit, brethren! Amen.
