6:1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
6:2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so 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 test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.
6:6 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 one sows, that will he also reap.
6:8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
6:9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season 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 who are of the household of faith.
6:11 See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
6:12 It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order 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 desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
6:14 But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
6:15 For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
6:16 And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
6:17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
