Bear One Another’s Burdens

11BrothersG80 and sisters, evenG2532 ifG1437 a personG444 is caughtG4301 in anyG5100 wrongdoingG3900, you who are 2spiritualG4152 are to 3restoreG2675 suchG5108 aG5108 personG5108 4in a spiritG4151 of gentlenessG4240; each one lookingG4648 toG4648 yourselfG4572, soG3361 thatG3361 you are notG3361 temptedG3985 asG2532 wellG2532. 25BearG941 oneG240 another’sG240 burdensG922, and therebyG3779 fulfillG378 6the lawG3551 of ChristG5547. 3For 7ifG1487 anyoneG5100 thinksG1380 that he is somethingG5100 when he is nothingG3367, he deceivesG5422 himselfG1438. 4But eachG1538 oneG1538 must 8examineG1381 his ownG1438 workG2041, and thenG5119 he will haveG2192 reason for 9boastingG2745, but 10to himselfG1438 aloneG3441, and not 11to anotherG2087. 5For 12eachG1538 oneG1538 will bearG941 his ownG2398 loadG5413.

613The one who is taughtG2727 14the wordG3056 is to shareG2841 allG3956 goodG18 thingsG18 with the one who teachesG2727 him. 715Do not be deceivedG4105, 16GodG2316 is not mockedG3456; for 17whateverG3739G1437 a personG444 sowsG4687, thisG3778 he will alsoG2532 reapG2325. 818For the one who sowsG4687 to his ownG1438 fleshG4561 will reapG2325 19destructionG5356 from the fleshG4561, but 20the one who sowsG4687 to the SpiritG4151 will reapG2325 eternalG166 lifeG2222 from the SpiritG4151. 921Let’s not becomeG1457 discouragedG1457 in doingG4160 goodG2570, for in dueG2398 timeG2540 we will reapG2325, if we 22do not becomeG1590 wearyG1590. 10SoG686 thenG686, 2324whileG5613 we haveG2192 opportunityG2540, let’s doG2038 goodG18 to allG3956 peopleG3956, and especiallyG3122 to thoseG3588 whoG3609 areG3609 ofG3609 theG3609 25householdG3609 of 26the faithG4102.

11SeeG3708 with whatG4080 largeG4080 lettersG1121 I have writtenG1125 to you 27with my ownG1699 handG5495! 12AllG3745 whoG3745 wantG2309 28to makeG2146 aG2146 goodG2146 showingG2146 in the fleshG4561 try to 29compelG315 you to be circumcisedG4059, simplyG3440 soG2443 thatG2443 they 30will not be persecutedG1377 for the crossG4716 of ChristG5547. 13For thoseG3588 who 31are circumcisedG4059 do not evenG3761 32keepG5442 33the LawG3551 themselvesG846, but they wantG2309 to have you circumcisedG4059 soG2443 thatG2443 they may 34boastG2744 in your fleshG4561. 14But 3536farG3361 be it fromG3361 me to boastG2744, 37exceptG1508 in the crossG4716 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 38throughG1223 39whichG3739 the worldG2889 has been crucifiedG4717 to me, and 40I to the worldG2889. 15For 41neitherG3777 is circumcisionG4061 anythingG5100, norG3777 uncircumcisionG203, but a 42newG2537 43creationG2937. 16And allG3745 whoG3745 will followG4748 thisG3778 ruleG2583, peaceG1515 and mercyG1656 be upon them, and upon the 44IsraelG2474 of GodG2316.

17FromG3062 nowG3062 onG3062 let noG3367 oneG3367 causeG3930 troubleG2873 for me, for I bearG941 on my bodyG4983 the 4546marksG4742 of JesusG2424.

1847The graceG5485 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be 48with your spiritG4151, 49brothersG80 and sisters. AmenG281.
