| | 1 | Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. | |
| | 2 | Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. | |
| | 3 | If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. | |
| | 4 | Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, | |
| | 5 | for each one should carry his own load. | |
| | 6 | Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor. | |
| | 7 | Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. | |
| | 8 | The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. | |
| | 9 | Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. | |
| | 10 | Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. | |
| | 11 | See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand! | |
| | 12 | Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. | |
| | 13 | Not even those who are circumcised obey the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh. | |
| | 14 | 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. | |
| | 15 | Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation. | |
| | 16 | Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God. | |
| | 17 | Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. | |
| | 18 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. | |
