Galatians 6

Bear One Another’s Burdens

11Brothers and sisters, even if a person is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are 2spiritual are to 3restore such a person 4in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you are not tempted as well. 25Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill 6the law of Christ. 3For 7if anyone thinks that he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4But each one must 8examine his own work, and then he will have reason for 9boasting, but 10to himself alone, and not 11to another. 5For 12each one will bear his own load.

613The one who is taught 14the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him. 715Do not be deceived, 16God is not mocked; for 17whatever a person sows, this he will also reap. 818For the one who sows to his own flesh will reap 19destruction from the flesh, but 20the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. 921Let’s not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we 22do not become weary. 10So then, 2324while we have opportunity, let’s do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the 25household of 26the faith.

11See with what large letters I have written to you 27with my own hand! 12All who want 28to make a good showing in the flesh try to 29compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they 30will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13For those who 31are circumcised do not even 32keep 33the Law themselves, but they want to have you circumcised so that they may 34boast in your flesh. 14But 3536far be it from me to boast, 37except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, 38through 39which the world has been crucified to me, and 40I to the world. 15For 41neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a 42new 43creation. 16And all who will follow this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the 44Israel of God.

17From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the 4546marks of Jesus.

1847The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be 48with your spirit, 49brothers and sisters. Amen.
