6:1 My brothers, if · someone is detected in some wrongdoing, you who are spiritual should restore that one in a spirit of gentleness, taking care lest you yourself · be tempted.
6:2 Bear one another’s · burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
6:3 For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
6:4 But let each one examine · his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in himself alone, · and not in comparison with · someone else.
6:6 Now the one who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches.
6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows, that will he also reap.
6:8 For the one who sows to · his own flesh, from the flesh will reap corruption; but the one who sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
6:9 So let us not grow tired of doing what is right, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.
6:10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do · good to everyone, and especially to those of the family of faith.
6:11 See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand!
6:12 Those who want to make a good showing in the flesh, they are the ones trying to force you to be circumcised—only so that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
6:13 For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast in · your flesh.
6:14 But may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
6:15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything, but a new creation.
6:16 As for all who will follow · this rule—may peace and mercy be upon them, even upon the Israel of God.
6:17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus on · my body.
6:18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with · your spirit, my brothers. Amen.
