6:1 Brothers, even if a person is caught in some trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a person in a spirit of humility, looking out for yourself, lest you also be tempted.
6:2 Carry the burdens of one another, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
6:3 For if anyone thinks he is something although he is nothing, he is deceiving himself.
6:4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have a reason for boasting in himself alone, and not in someone else.
6:6 Now the one who is taught the word must share in all good things with the one who teaches.
6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked, for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap,
6:8 because the one who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
6:9 And let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give up.
6:10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the household of faith.
6:11 See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
6:12 As many as are wanting to make a good showing in the flesh, these are attempting to compel you to be circumcised, only so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
6:13 For not even those who are circumcised observe the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised in order that they may boast in your flesh.
6:14 But as for me, may it never be that I boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
6:15 For neither is circumcision anything nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
6:16 And all those who follow this rule, peace and mercy be on them and on the Israel of God.
6:17 Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I carry on my body the marks of Jesus.
6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
