“Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye which are
spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of meekness; looking to
thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another’s burdens, and
so fulfil the law of Christ. For if a man thinketh himself to be
something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let each man
prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard of
himself alone, and not of his neighbor. For each man shall bear his own
burden.
“But let him that is taught in the Word communicate unto him that
teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth
unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that
soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us
not be weary in well-doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint
not. So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good
toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of
the faith.
“See with how large letters I have written unto you with mine own hand.
As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they compel you to
be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of
Christ. For not even they who receive circumcision do themselves keep
the law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in
your flesh. But far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been crucified unto me,
and I unto the world. For neither is circumcision anything, nor
uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as shall walk by this
rule, peace be unto them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
“From henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear branded on my body
the marks of Jesus.
“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren.
Amen.” Galatians 6, R. V.
