6:1 Brethren, if anyone is detected committing a transgression, you who are spiritual must set him right in a spirit of gentleness. Meanwhile, you should take care so that you yourselves are not tempted.
6:2 Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
6:3 If anyone thinks he is something when in fact he is nothing, he is only deceiving himself.
6:4 Each person must examine his own work. Then he will have reason to boast with regard to himself alone and not in comparison with someone else.
6:6 Anyone who is being taught should give his teacher a share in all his possessions.
6:7 Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked. A person will reap only what he sows.
6:8 The one who sows in his flesh will reap a harvest of corruption, but the one who sows in the Spirit will reap from the Spirit the reward of eternal life.
6:9 Let us never grow weary in doing what is right, for if we do not give up, we will reap our harvest in due time.
6:10 Therefore, while we have the opportunity, let us labor for the good of all, but especially for those members of the household of the faith.
6:11 Observe what large letters I make when I am writing to you in my own handwriting.
6:12 It is those who want to gain human approval who are trying to compel you to be circumcised, their sole purpose being to escape persecution for the cross of Christ.
6:13 Even the circumcised do not themselves obey the Law. They want you to be circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.
6:14 May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world is crucified to me and I to the world.
6:15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is important, but only a new creation.
6:16 May peace and mercy be given to all who follow this rule, and to the Israel of God.
6:17 In the future, let no one make trouble for me, for I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body.
6:18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
