1 Bear One Another’s Burdens Brothers, even if 6:1 Gr anthropos anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness,each of youlooking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.
2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 But each one must examine his own work, and then he will havereason forboasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.
5 For each one will bear his own load.
6 And the one who is instructed in the word is to share in all good things with the one who instructshim.
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
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.
9 And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
10 So then, 6:10Or as while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
11 See with what large letters I 6:11Or have written am writing to you with my own hand!
12 As many as are wanting to make a good showing in the flesh, these are trying to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted 6:12 Or because of for the cross of Christ.
13 For those who 6:13Two early mss have been are circumcised do not even keep 6:13Or law the Law themselves, but they want to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.
14 But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through 6:14Or whom which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new 6:15 Or creature creation.
16 And those who will 6:16 Lit following in line walk in step with this rule, peace and mercybeupon them, and upon the Israel of God.
17 From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
