6:1 Brothers, even if a person is overtaken in some trespass, you spiritual ones be restoring such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking-out-for yourself that you also not be tempted.
6:2 Be carrying one another’s burdens, and in this manner you will fulfill the law of Christ.
6:3 For if anyone thinks that he is something while being nothing, he is deceiving himself.
6:4 But let each one prove his own work— and then he will have the boast with reference to himself alone, and not with reference to the other person.
6:6 And let the one being instructed-in the word share with the one instructing in all good things.
6:7 Do not be deceived— God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows, this he will also reap.
6:8 Because the one sowing to his own flesh will reap decay from the flesh. But the one sowing to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
6:9 And let us not grow-weary while doing good. For in His own time we not losing-heart will reap.
6:10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us be working good to everyone, but especially to the family-members of the faith.
6:11 See with what large letters I wrote to you with my own hand!
6:12 All who want to make-a-good-showing in the flesh— these ones are compelling you to receive-circumcision only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
6:13 For not even the ones receiving-circumcision themselves are keeping the Law. But they want you to receive-circumcision in order that they might boast in your flesh.
6:14 But for me, may it never be that I should 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 And all who will walk-in-line with this standard— peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
6:17 Henceforth let no one be causing troubles for me. For I bear the brand-marks of Jesus on my body.
6:18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
